It’s not the organicness that I like so much about the new pop I found at the grocery store, it’s the non-sugarness of it that impresses. This way I can have fizzy fun and still go to sleep. Also, pop usually makes it so I am less than cheerful the next morning: Pop Hangover, if you will. “Sugar Crash” or something.

What else did I do today?

Tiny Sring 2 is in bits and pieces, in both digital and paper form. It is different than last episode. I will say only this much about it: it is a very, very dark issue.

Item 1:
I like on Deadwood when Veronica Mars gets the living shit kicked the fuck out of her.

Item 2:
I made new pj pants today!

Item 3:
Bonnie’s going to pick me up some big snaps in Nan. Big snaps aren’t available in Duncan since Fanny’s Fabrics went under. This makes me sad!

Item 4:
I oiled my serger today so it doesn’t smell like burning when I run it. Of course, it’s been a few years since I’ve had it out.

Item 5:
My first reaction to my sister coming home today to watch television and tape the overlapping shows was to make a list of all the shows that I could tape and also list of all the shows I had to watch while they did. I altered this plan so that I don’t have to tape things and she can. I’m not a TV addict!

Item 5:
I have the mock-up of Tiny String 2 done up. It just needs glue and to be scanned into the computer. It’s messy! because I used soft pencils and graphite stick for magical effects.

Item 6:
I had ballet this morning! My ballet teacher also teaches at Brentwood. We’re both newbies and think Brentwood is intense/overwhelming.

Item 7:
I’m doing NANO this year. I don’t know where I’ll post it though. Who’s all in?

Item 8:
I bought 8×10 fabric sheets that can go through the printer. What shall I make with them! I’ll think of something!

I heard a noise. It sounded all WHoo-HOO-hoo-Hoo!
A few minutes later I said to myself
“That’s an owl! Not the Chemical Brothers!”
And that’s why I’ll never be president of the zoo.

One of my favorite things about my new job is the part of the day when the cafeteria phones down and asks what I’d like for dinner. Then, a short 45 mins later, two kids arrive with trays full of requested food stuffs. Today it was vegan shepherd pie and roast veggies for me. Ah, perks.

One more night shift than one day off, then two weekend day shifts.

Tomorrow I will miss my ballet class. There are two meanings to that sentence.

I went to work today. I think it was good. I have a lot to learn. I am a little brain dead this evening, now.

I just got a job, I’m cool
It’s with Brentwood College School
It starts on Tuesday so I can still go to Victoria tomorrow with Amber and Namool.

I am well pleased with myself for I fixed the button holes on my yellow sweater. Now the buttons stay done up. Next: darn that nasty big hole in the elbow.

I just hung out with Naomi. She bought a mop and I bought chips.

And also today I made a new little book. It’s one I’ve been trying to make for many months now but never really worked trying to lay it out on Word. So I lay it out in Publisher instead and in just a few short half-hours I had my new little book. Finally in print, it’s “Costume Design (For a Play)”. Now everyone can have a copy! As soon as I make more. And finish the title page.

I had another interview.
It was with Brentwood College Schoo’.
If I don’t get it, I’ll say “hoo hoo”.
And maybe take up sniffing glue.
(I have nothing else to do.)

On my web page there is now a link to a page about my trip to San Fran last year. It’s groovy.

My web page is here.

The San Fran Stuff is here.

I had a job interview today.
It was with United Way.
If I get it, I’ll say “Hooray!”
But if not, I will play.
(But not with clay).

Library Adventures
My library book was due today. However, since I have not finished it yet, I have kept it in my possession. An element I have neglected to mention is that the book has been requested by a number of people after me so I cannot renew it.

The book is called “The Confusion” by Neal Stephenson. I like it lots, but not as much as the first time I read it. Still lots though. I should be done tomorrow, so the next person on the list won’t have to wait too much longer.

Ahh, the power.

I wonder if the VIRL system will let me request the next book in the series with a renewy book on my account…

The answer is: they haven’t noticed that I haven’t returned this book yet, so I have thus requested the next book. I am number three on the request list. (Actually there is a copy sitting in the Cowichan Library. I could have gone and picked it up today. I Am A Chump!)
