Busy, but not like a bee - like something easily distracted that doesn’t like people. Ok, so yes, like a bee.
I’m getting ready to go to a movie screening downtown so I’m preparing myself mentally for the onslaught of film critics doing their Portland best to ignore the hell out of me. I’m going to wear orange and maybe bring a book to read aloud from in the lobby. Something really pretentious, too, like Roland Barthes or Diderot.
Anywho, first I wanted to thank EVERYONE who commented yesterday. You made me feel so much better. I’m a big baby. I KNOW IT. Your stories were fantastic and remind me to tell you about the one time at every job I’ve ever had where I got sick of it and started coming into work drunk and stealing things. This was usually the first day.
I’m going to write a longer post this afternoon when I get back from “working” (my job is hard). I plan on eating a whole pretzel and drinking a gigantic diet coke and then blowing up like a balloon from all the sodium.
In the meantime, why don’t you read my friend Megan’s blog Nestmaker? Really pretty things to look at AND the smart funny.

Be careful. Now that its almost spring there are lots of poor homeless cylons afoot.
I can’t tell you how happy it makes me to hear (see? read?) someone reference Diderot. He is way more underdiscussed than most boring 18th century French people.
But, in real life, I have Diderot to thank for my life partnership. I mean, it is not with him, but he played a role.
Sounds like Jenny should go down to the screening and ignore some people.
Life is hard. You deserve that pretzel.
i always get the biggest diet coke they make at the movies but then end up missing about 3/4 of the flick because my bladder is the size of a raisin.
so its like a $19 trip to the bathroom where I can’t touch anything. My quads end up very sore.
i got drunk during lucnh.
that is all.
