RT @DanMontie: Where was all this concern for the debt when the R's under W did away w/the surplus?

The Looooong and Winding Road...

After putting myself, my dearest friend and my dad through HELL to finish the move (and I am in their eternal debt), I finally got the show on the road a little after 11 a.m. on Friday. Over the previous week, I had kitted out the car w/new tires and…

Final Four! (no not hoops, but the final 4 days of being a Houstonian!)

Said "farewell" to family and friends this weekend...sad and yet exhilarating due to the adventure ahead. I know I'll miss everyone, but there will be so much to do and to be w/my sweetie...nothing can equal that. :)The storage room is 'purt near' FULL. Still a LOT of crapola in…

@maitri exactly. It's the 'family values'/misogynists that I am disgusted by their behaviors, not folks that are otherwise decent.

The Clutter From the Black Lagoon...

Also known as: WHERE IN THE FRAK DID ALL OF THIS COME FROM???For the love of all that is neat and tidy...this stuff is multiplying and swelling as I go about the business of culling/packing it!??!On the Good News Front: The big stuff is GONE! The keeper stuff in storage…

New Broadway Musical: Purge-y and Mess

Just over a week into Operation: Get It The Hell Out Of The Apartment.Now, all but one of the bookcases are spoken for, as well as the storage unit that is currently my (way underused) bar. And the locker-looking storage unit is claimed. The art supplies I culled have gone…

I know I'm not the only one to think this, but @GeorgeTakei is full of EPIC WIN! :)

It's really sad when someone posts food pRon pics that they are proud of and the pics REALLY suck... #foodporn

@msleamichele Great job on "For Good" - you would be a great Elphaba! #ForGood

The Big Store...

No, not the Marx Brothers' movie... I have secured a storage room for 12 months!Was looking for a 5x10, but scored a 5x15 for the same price that lays out MUCH better. :)Two boxes of books went in today. Lots more boxes to load up. Stuff to sell, books to…

I'll Know What It Means...

To miss New Orleans. I'll probably have a 5 month hiatus what with the move. But here's the "for now" Last Hurrah weekend summed up:Pic Link first... :) (let me know if it doesn't work...) I arrived on Friday, mid-day. Dropped off my stuff at my friends' house in the…

I'll Admit It - Yeah, I'm Frakkin' Worried

I'm planning on driving to New Orleans this weekend. Kind of my 'last hurrah' for a while, what with the pending move to Los Angeles.Well, the flooding upriver on the Mighty Mississip' is starting to cause me some worry. Sure, I may be borrowing trouble, but then again - I…

Resume' away!

Sent my revised/tailored resume' off to a company based in LACA that I worked for looong ago. Thankfully, I enjoyed my time (save a certain district manager) working there. Learned a LOT about product knowledge, keeping a clean store, customer service. :)Still looking for other places, and going to keep…

Alrighty...No Secrets per se on Mother's Day

But first - a very hearty and warm "Happy Mother's Day" to all of my friends who are, or fill in for Moms. May your day be full of love and extra appreciation!Okay, here goes:After the Mother's Day gifting was complete and we were at the yummy Italian restaurant having…

RT @maitri: I'll be the dumbass tossing a beachball around in front of the White House when US also gets rid of Patriot Act & TSA groping.

@4lgsgood LOL! Nice. :)

Too true. RT @skooks: Seriously, all these celebrating people are gonna be real pissed months from now w/they realize the wars are still on.

Maybe I Should Consider A Change?

Went to Los Angeles this weekend to see my much missed and MUCH loved boyfriend. We spent most of the weekend 5 hours north in Union City w/our friends and exploring the area. Gorgeous place - mountains, beaches, stuff galore. Being w/my sweetie after a 5-1/2 month separation (due to…

The Psychic Friends Network Should Hire Me

Seriously, I had the inkling in the past week that things weren't working out.Something told me that things weren't going to work out so peachy as they had seemed. Waiting on more feedback from the job of choice (they are extremely busy and DO want to talk to me, so…

Houston We Have Contact!

So, sent an e-mail to the more promising position as I hadn't heard from the contact in a bit. Of course, heard from her shortly thereafter apologizing for the delay and that they WERE going to get w/me, but they've been HEINOUSLY busy. And then I heard from the big…

Well, So Close...And Yet So Far

Last weekend I was in a flurry, no: FRENZY of mental gymnastics and spreadsheet creation - a job was LITERALLY dropped in.my.lap!??!! The brainbending and budget hashing were due to a great opportunity that was below my estimated minimum salary. A slight miscommunication saw them thinking I was available right…

FYI...

For my dedicated and new readers - I'll be getting my photo editing software soon so that I can actually cycle out images I have captured. I take rather hi-res images and they are currently 'too big' to work. And my approach to taking pictures is very 'on the spot'…

Hmmm...how about a different tack?

So, I get a wild hair this afternoon and looked on Craigslist at the jobs. There was a listing for a 'second shooter' for a photography agency. Shooting weddings from alternate angles and such. I'm thinking of going for it. At least as a part time gig, that would rock.…

The Road to NOLA is Paved w/Hangups - Lundi Gras edition

Since I wasn't even getting the most basic response and Mardi Gras was drawing nigh, I have suspended my job search for a bit. I'll let the detritus of Fat Tuesday be swept away before assaulting the job postings anew. Having mostly a divine time during my current week-long Mardi…

Rolling the Dice...

Found a new job listing! At an architecture/design firm on the edge of the French Quarter! It's an administrative position, which works for me. And, who knows, maybe a design position for me might be possible, too? The vibe of their website was fun and creative. I hope to hear…

It's A Week...

It's a "week" alrighty...?!?! Busy as skidditch on a bid and client-whispering, trying NOT to throttle the 'sorority' folks. And having spent Monday evening on some much-needed housework, last night having dinner w/my Dad and tonight was the second installment in the "New Orleans: 5 Years After" lecture series -…

No News Is...Well...No News

I must be some high level of naive. Sent resumes to four places two weeks ago and have heard NOTHING back. Not even a chortle or guffaw from the one company that (in their electronic submission gateway) requested a salary requirement. I guess I thought I'd at least get a…

Ms Landry - here's to your being utterly exonerated and if you want to be back, rehired. Much good fortune and success to you no matter what you opt for. There is obviously abundant proof that you alerted them to the overwhelming opportunity for failure and their denying you the…

It looks like a balcony railing... It could be an installation art piece - noting how dreams get grounded? Or reality messes things up? More mundane - someone can't read installation plans too well? ;)

Well, if the flooding cannot be stopped, then more money (or any?) needs to be directed to restoring the barrier islands to absorb and dissapate storm surge so that the systems at the coast and at the city can be complementary and fairly well knock out flooding. And to boot,…
