two things happened today
1 - started my new job...and i'm feeling pretty good about it so far. it feels do-able, despite my lack of existing qualifications (i have tons of potential though...)
i like the place too.
also i got to correct adam already...on my first day!!! just so y'all know - LTC refers to longitudinal time code, not linear time code...i don't think adam will soon forget...hmm...but after the public shaming my job might get harder...ok just laugh behind your hands...you too michelle
2- i finished "all the pretty horses". phew... kinda rough. i broke down a bunch of times reading this. beautiful in the way that shield rock can be. the main characters are cowboys from the first half of the 20th century. taciturn. delightfully archaicly polite. but words and gestures are made sherpas by the weight of everything they have to convey. it's heartbreaking kinda. and i actually really love the vernacular of old texas ranch hands. "good ol' boys" might be my favourite people...or maybe it means something more to me...maybe i'm loading meaning high and deep into a small phrase...do i project like all the time?
hmm...sighing now i guess...it was such a good book though. anybody wanna borrow it?

I know this probably makes me a huge nerd, but even though I knew your blog's title I, for some reason, always thought "hearth and basket" when I typed in your url. I always thought about how warm and cozy it sounded. I never made the connection from url to title. hee hee. Ok, fine. But it made ME laugh.
working in Post? Congratulations on the new job.... What do they have ya doing there?
Enjoy your soul before it slips away on you. Acutally, at Crunch I suppose they let you keep your soul. Across the street at Duh-luxe our souls were taken away when managment got a special permit from the government to let us work 80 hour weeks, "if we want to".
See ya around the neighbourhood.
