i am awake waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early.

i asked the sf-ers about bookstores in bernal heights - which is where that job i applied for is located - and it looks like it's probably this one:

basically, this is the most perfect job for me ever, and I MUST GET IT PLZ DEAR GOD/ALLAH/JESUS CHRIST/BUDDHA/SHIVA/ETC.

awww.

RR, I will send good thoughts...

good news: there's a guy on the bukowski forum jordan and i belong to who works for a letterpress printer in hayward, and he has emailed me to let me know his boss is totally down with having me come in and learn stuff in return for doing some menial work round the workshop.

That sounds awesome.

ooh wonderful! this is turning out to be such a great move for you :)

yeah, i'm pretty excited. our own small press is just starting to get on its feet, with two books underway.

Yay RR! Good footholds all. By the end of the year you will have conquered Oakland and renamed the Bay 'Rubyredd Inlet'

:) :) :)

and tonight, i learn how to ride a bike all over again (i sat on it last night, but refused to ride it)

i am now considering another internship bc it's at an ad agency i really love. i'm gonna be so poor forever :(

this one?

lol i wish!

Sara RC - are you likely to be around in 3 hours or so? Very much up for that chat!

I should be around. Possible problem: getting close to dinner time. (Also - not sure I remember how to "chat," but I can probably at least work around that...)

So - ????

This whole "different time zone" thing is obviously problematic, and should be eradicated.

yo i am so excited about my dogsitting adventure which begins this evening!

afternoon is so sleeeeeepy :(

Hey Sara, hey Theresa, I am online! Sara, open gmail and on the left hand side there will be a chat section with names, hopefully including me. That should work.

Dogsitting sounds fun.

I am puttering about the house, accomplishing nothing. If I had any motivation, I'd be dealing with laundry, dishes, and other cleaning stuff, but... nope.

xp Oh yay - that sounds so much better than puttering!

Okay, I "may be interrupting" you, Mark.

GMAIL SAYS SO

Mark is bizzzzzay.

I wanna sit some dogs. At the moment all I am allowed to look after is bottles of Beck's. And I'm not doing a very good job as they seem to be getting drinked.

BTW in case anyone is desperate for an update, the critter I rescued on Monday died later that night. :(

But they think it was a fox so I would not have been allowed to adopt him anyway.

st. bernarrrrrrrdsssss

aww poor critter :(

Yeah the poor little bugger never really had a chance.

St. Bernards? You should probably watch Beethoven with them then. Definitely not Cujo.

Okay, Cujo scared the hell out of me when I saw it. I was literally standing behind my couch for the duration. (Thank god for rentals; god knows what would have happened in an actual movie theater...)

Um, but I'm sure the dog you're sitting will be very nice, tehresa!

ok just 1 st. bernard. i was just rejoicing in st. bernards in general.

she is very sweet. she does not like a lot of people, but lovvvess me (according to her owner), so i think we will get on well.

sounds like a discerning dawg to me.

We have just lost another beer. I am not good at this beersitting thing.

and, ooh ooh, I think I may be meeting Dan tomorrow!

!!! i wish dan's work would send him over here.

How are you losing beers?

Okay, it is profoundly unfair that you get to see Dan before I do. I mean, REALLY. Minnesota needs him more!

And what about you? I mean, how much effort and expense would it really have been to come over to London in peak season to see him? C'mon, meet him in the middle Sara...

;-)

Oh, Nick, you're so right. As usual.

I just don't know how I overlook these things! ;)

Nick, try those persuadin' skillz on estela next!

Sara I take it you're busy?

Sorry - yeah - I have to get dinner and then get 4lex to Tae Kwon Do.

I hope you have a great evening, though! And maybe we can chat soon!?

(it was fun to chat w/you this afternoon!)

ohhh yeah drinking some winez walkin my dogz watching ugly bettyz. ok the last part is sad. still... :D this house is much cleaner than mine!

Sounds like a great evening, Ugly Betty or no. (And hey, I heard that was a good show.)

I'm going to repeat the usual: treadmill, laundry, gratuitous sulking around the house...

Also, I am *so* not done with Uncle Tom's Cabin for tomorrow; I feel sure Dan will not be even a little surprised, though.

this computer is weird though. i can't figure out how to make the screen brighter and also the touchpad does not scroll. wah wah wah i know... i just feel awkward.

My internet connection is all wonky (since an "upgrade") - and so Facebook is nearly useless, I can't get into my netflix queue (although I can see my account), Ebay looks weird, a bunch of websites I like to visit are not accessible. It sucks.

So what I'm saying is, let's bitch about computers. ;)

oh no! i'm sorry :(

i just feel like i'm in a haze or something bc everything's really dim.also this screen is way lower resolution than i'm used to.

Well, it's not terrible or anything, but it is annoying.

It's not like I need the internets desperately right now (once school starts the story is different). But I'm PAYING for it, so... why the hell is so much of it not working? AGGRAVATING

hey btw UGLY BETTY is pretty much awesome.

carry on

ok maybe i mean like, apt. and dog sitting was making the night, and ugly betty was extra added in there.

btw, need a dog. also, i am drinking coffee out of a wonder woman mug! i think i may have to change the locks on this place before my friend gets back...

Morning all. I have a headache, soup and yoghurt, in reverse order of preference.

:\

omg I want a Wonder Woman mug.

Mark - get better, dude. Ibuprofen is your friend.

John - glad you're not dead!
