Chicago: Totally hands-free!!!

but for the overpriced popcorn

2 Days in Paris, Eastern Promises, and those westerns. Also reading that AV Club Oscar-O-Meter article made me want to see movies.

I won't lie, the real butter popcorn at the Sundance theater is gooood.

jaymc, would your shelves fit in the back of a regular car, if the back seats went down? we still need more shelves...

ugh, not a great day. leaving for an interview i feel unprepared for, and noticed my resume, which i've been tinkering with, is set to print on A4 rather than letter paper. so when i try to print it on US paper, it's all messed up. just what i wanted to do today.

Sorry, colette. Formatting can be a bitch.

Good luck though!!

Colette, I kind of doubt it. It's pretty tall. I'll measure when I get home tonight, though. I will probably just put it in the alley if no one wants it.

i might want it

The Onion crossword this week is fun.

My green guitar: guitar of MYSTERY

snazzy

where'd errybudy go? I am restless and annoyed at the tech department for making an important part of my job far more difficult than it needs to be. I'll spare you details.

I can't decide whether to go to the movies tonight or go home and be a lump.

I love movies, but I also love lumping. I am so torn.

Is lump fast asleep or rockin out with the band?

Well the Skokie guy has decided he can't afford the guitar, so that means I don't have to worry about that decision any more.

Not fast asleep, just not contributing anything at all to the economy or the larger cultural dialog.

Totally.

lol @ Lump

Another buyer will come along. That guy was being a pain anyway.

ok, today officially sucks. i get to the interview, and the woman who is supposed to be interviewing me isn't there. and she's not just out to lunch, she'd left for delaware an hour earlier. no email or call to reschedule. ugh. and she was so friendly when emailing to set up the interview!

xxpost I think fast asleep can't really be lumping, because it means getting rest, which will later increase your productivity. Sleep is too useful to be truly lumpy.

I am going to do *something* important tonight. I can tell.

Cure world peace.

This morning at the gym I had the most amazing view. The moon was setting in the west and I had a completely unrestricted view of it from the free weight room. It was huge and red, and it went from being high in the sky to gone in about 10 minutes.

That sux, colette. :-(

Acceptable lump activities:

watching TV
eating leftovers
making an mp3 mix that you know you'll never finish or send to anyone
watching a movie you've already seen half a dozen times
reading Entertainment Weekly

etc.

yeah, colette, that's bad. Of course, if she's that flaky, you probably don't want to work for her. But I know that's cold comfort when you don't have a job yet.

How about US Weekly?

That's sub-lump. That actually affects the world negatively instead of not at all.

That is incredibly annoying, Colette. But then Jenny showed up at her current (not newly-acquired) job to find that the person she was working for was not in, so she kind of spent the day drifting. But you never know, it could still work out.

That was a little different, since I had worked here before and was just coming back to pick up where I'd left off.

Colette, I would like to apologize on behalf of Delaware, though. Not everybody who finds themselves off to my home state is such a dingaling.

eating leftovers is not slothful -- you're making the most of your available resources! ordering takeout when there are still leftovers to eat? that's lump.

also: how about this weather, huh huh? pretty nice, huh?

beeeeyoutifulll

I want to be out in it!!

you're making the most of your available resources!

Yeah, I guess you're right! Ok, awesome. I feel more responsible already. :)

I had leftovers from two different meals Monday at lunch (zucchini & pasta) and today I had more leftovers for lunch (enchiladas)!

I want these boots:

Very sensible for winter walking! I'm trying to find boots I love, too, and have only come up with these:

There was an incredibly hot woman at the place I got lunch today wearing similar boots. I don't know how comfortable it was for her but it looked fucking awesome.

Also what I really want is these, but they're pull-on only and I will never get my ankles into them if past experience can be trusted:

I love patent leather ones!
I would probably feel claustrophobic in pull-ons.

The patent ones would go with all your sparkly dresses, Sarah!

i don't dig patent leather. it is beautiful, i was just out in the backyard with the doggies and it was great (except for me sitting in the collected rainwater in the lawn chair). if the next door neighbor hadn't let out their dog we'd have stayed out longer but the boys started barking and barking and history says they wouldn't have stopped. i have to write a cover letter for a job at one of the city colleges then i think i'm going to ride my bike. destination.... UNKOWN!

oooo which city college

If I were wealthy and a foot and a half or so shorter, I would practice walking in heels at home to wear these:

being 18 in. shorter than you, i guess i could wear those but i already have heeled boots that i never wear. and bunions.

one at harold washington (the one i hope to get) and one at truman which i'd take as beggars can't be choosers but i'd prefer the one in the loop that's 9 to 5 and doesn't require weekends.

xpost.

Sarah, I'll show you how to walk in heels.
