Well, the Yale exodus is still in progress... Graduation week is always something of a good and bad thing. Finding ways around Elm St is always an annoyance but, the absence of the Yale underclass in my favorite haunts...*sigh*

So, after having lived vicariously through my tellings and re-tellings of my wasted time here onsite, I've gotten a gift account for my younger sister aptly named, LittleSister. She a DSL connection & lots of free time so, I have the greatest confidence in her being sucked in like the rest of us. 
In other news, I worked something like 39 out of 48...

Interesting fun has been had in the past 48 hours... Yesterday I attended the Passion Party of my friend, Lisa. For those not in the relative know, it's like a porn Tupperware party - Hostess, person passing around samples of plastic and rubber ware... Almost exactly the same thing. 
I made Roasted Pepper & Pineapple Salsa that was made mild, lest no one brave what...

passion party..... my disturbed mind now pictures every single tv mom from june cleaver to Mrs. Huckstable sitting around a coffee table, drinking tea and talking about the pro's and con's of anal beads...... 
arachnequarius:
now those are some interesting, contrasting events to enjoy, my friend. i've been to the "passion parties" before, and they totally crack me up. i think its the romantic rhetoric that accompanies all the products. now, granted, i was never much for fairy tales, but i shudder at the euphamisms! just say fucking, seriously. that said, i think its great that they exist and are safer events so that more reserved folks can get their freak on, as it were.
bike trails, huh? well, perhaps you all can do that for the next outing! it sounds like there are some lovely areas around you to enjoy. perhaps you and the lovely elbereth can picnic out there and tell us all about it!
hope yr wellish and goodish.

What if Testimonials weren't shout-outs but, were the biographical blurbs of the damned..? I think that'd make things a little more interesting. Here's to hoping that you poor souls agree...
Items for today...two meetings, a drive to Westport to have dinner w/ Elbereth's grandmother and probably the work of unseen forces against me. Ya know, the usual...

hehe, you gave yourself a testomonial! that is fucking awesome!!1
arachnequarius:
your testimonial rocks my world ~ that is so very precious. i mean, so very biographically damned. damnably damned.
so, i am interested in this being more interested in the journey than the destination thing ... i never exactly thought of it in thouse terms, although you describe exactly what a friend of mine is going through. and, i get it in a sense, including that when things are finished i feel a certain let down, but i also neeeed to get to the end soemtimes. my problem, in a way, is that i want a conclusion before a process. that does not so much happen. i would love to read about yr musical calculus.
i hope you had a fun dinner and kicked the ass of unseen forces. grrrrr.

And, the Pre-Poetry Day entry... *grumble* It seems I shouldn't be too smart for my own good... I'd thought that I had carefully arranged to have actual days off rather than be suckered back into more overtime. I don't have to fill any missing shoes but, I had forgotten I have three meetings to attend...two bullshit meetings, one job performance review (where they'll say how...

Of late, I've felt somewhat bad that my posts have been work-heavy... I can only imagine it being incredibly boring after the first one or two whinings of "Work, work, work, work..." So in an effort to bring you, the reading public, a fuller WelnTaod picture, I happily bring you the following non-employment themed entry.
I was able to hike up West Rock yesterday afternoon......

Ah yes, life with a net pet(s)... The twins, as it were, are remarkably cool! I'm having difficulty in walking past where they're kept - I feel guilty if I catch their attention, I have to take 'em out to play for a little while... Easy to do at night, not so tip-toe'ing back & forth trying to get readu for work. Not wanting to...

Please dress in that little red number.
You know, the mid-length job
with the cute drawstring
near your suck-you-lent neck
and spring-fresh bosom,
so your bone-white skin
is framed in the color...

Yep, so I'm at work...now into hour #16 out of 25-26 hour shift. 
*thinks about overtime* Yeah... I've busted out w/ my Piece o' Shit laptop and am cruising along at a pokey 28.8 bps. I volunteered for possibly another 1-3 shifts over the next 2-3 days. The stress level will waver from tepid to really, really undesirable. The main reason I find myself willing...

actually the visit was quite nice. i think my distance et mental warrior stance erected the proper barriers to keep me safe & keep drama at bay, w/o chilling the entire day. not too shabby, really. plus, i got the perfect gift for her, and that always helps.
what a tough work week, my dear! yikes!! it sounds like you are hanging in there, though, which is very impressive. you have such wonderful compassion for your residents. they are really lucky to have someone who cares as much as you do there. now, if you could just pare those shifts down a bit, you could care for yourself as well, yes? hope that you are carrying on and not to lost down the caffiene well.

So, I watched a movie that entered the world under my radar... Wim Wenders directed a film called "The Soul of a Man". It was part of Martin Scorsese's The Blues mini-series that aired on PBS some time ago. Let's just say, it was really good! It was the biographical look at Skip James, Blind Willie Johnson & J.B. Lenoir and their walking the line...
