Hallucinogens not required
I am so pissed I missed Inland Empire last night. Who the hell puts the headliner first in the lineup? I literally stumbled upon this at 9pm last night. Which still would have been plenty of time to make it to the after party at kink.com's Porn Palace, but that really would have been too depressing being the only one there who missed the freakin' movie. Not to mention rustling up someone to go with at the last minute. Dang it! I am really going to have to take better control of my social life. This work thing keeps getting in the way.
p.s. - this is what happens when you get the early edition of the Sunday paper then leave the house before reading it all. Oh well, I still have time to catch one of the other highlights.

Full of ourselves?
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's supposed to say "BAY AREA / and California." Maybe we're laying low until this Gavin Newsom thing blows over?

Paranoia may destroy ya
Between email not going out, email not coming in, and outgoing email bouncing back, I don't know what I've said to whom any more. Maybe I should forget about email and just stick to blogging, haha.
Speaking of alternate forms of communication, here's a blast from the past. I tried to send it to (e:Paul) when the internet was having a Bermuda Triangle day. We had been chatting earlier when the conversation turned to -- what else -- cell phones and operating systems. So when I happened upon this email from days gone by while I was spot-checking whether the emails I had saved for whatever reason in Mac Mail made it safely into Thunderbird, it was funny to see it again in the context of our recent conversation. Besides, it's cute as hell.

Cut off
It's so weird to be in a position where the most critical thing to me is something I can't really talk to anyone else about.

It's been a while so thought I'd show you a quick walk-through. This was before they broke two transom windows though. Oops.

The new job seems cool. It's only supposed to be for 1 month, but could go longer if I can stand the commute to Napa. The good news is, I can also work from home. At least it would be good news if my home wasn't a construction zone. But, I'm getting ahead of my story...
Working for a catalog company is fun. It's like shopping all day. I even get to put stuff on sale. Sweet!
I got a tour of the "merch room" where they keep a sample of all the merchandise. It was like walking into the coolest antique store ever. Their buyers go all over the place to find unique stuff that matches their style. I'd love to give you a sneak peek of some of the new items -- like this cool bike from Amsterdam that just came in on Friday -- but I'm still feeling out implicit rules. The guy I'm replacing took it for a spin, although he got spanked for it later. Since it was his last day I don't think he gave a sh!t one way or the other, though.
I would remind you what company it is (since my alter ego deleted the earlier post about it, oops), but my new boss mentioned she has google alerts for the company name, and for the famous (in Napa anyway) TV chef founder's name. Turns out foodies are avid bloggers. Who knew? Anyway, (e:enknot,77)'s many points about the Internet being an all-encompassing small world, and what you say here may never go away, hit home with my paranoid alter ego. That's all I'm going to say about it. My alter ego can start her own journal if she wants to, haha.
There's a helluva a lot more I wanted to tell you, but I'm out of time. Peace out, peepniks.

Demolition is ridiculously dusty, so I found a cooler on craigslist, and bought a flat of water, a gatorade variety pack, and a boxed set of Kudos at Costco. Would've gotten the rice krispee treats, but I KNOW what would have happened to those!
God, there really are not enough hours in the day...

Mini update
The thing with scaffolding is, it goes really high and doesn't seem to afford much protection. So when I look at it (which is hard not to do), I keep envisioning someone plummeting to their death from it. As if I didn't already have enough to worry about! Oh well, now that the calendar is done, maybe I have room for more, haha.
Speaking of the calendar (see how I weaseled that in?), here's a pic of my niece that didn't make it in, but that I love. It reminded me of a picture of me around that age. Although now when I look at them side-by-side I can see it's a stretch to say that. But what's the point of having a mega-cute niece if you can't convince yourself you once looked that cute? ;-)
p.s. - new usersound. I think my brother-in-law will like the wallflowers.
