Spent most of the day getting an oil change for the car. How Honda can turn something that takes 15 minutes into two hours I'll never know.

Saw Once Upon a Time in Mexico. boy I'm glad I didn't pay tons of cash for that in the theatre. Don't get me wrong, it was fun but it was BAD. What the heck were the critics looking at? If not for Johnny Depp's character I would have been bored (which is sad since I liked Desperado a lot even if it was bad too). I want to be as feminine looking as Johnny Depp when I grow up. No lie, in the cowboy get up leaning on the building I thought it was a girl at first.

Got up the latest Box of Crayon Story, well at least ch 1. It's the Sequel to Walk a Mile in Sorrow but predates Aurora Now. It's called Even to the Edge of Doom It's as close to fluff as I'll ever get.

Now to get on to writing some more hyperion's son because if I stop, I'll remember how depressed I am and no one wnats that.

My neck is so screwed up that both arms are totally numb and if I turn too fast I threw up. This is fun, trying to pack like this. Shoot me now.

So Black Hawl college calls for my phone interview. If it lasted 10 minutes it was only because I asked questions of them. Their questions: why would I want to teach at a community college, what's my teaching experience and academic experience like, what are my strengths in science nad my weaknesses. If they want me to come for a real interview and guest teach they'll call me. Hello classes start there in TWO weeks. They think they have time for this? That would give whoever one week to pack and move. Feh.  Here's hoping they hated me from the opening question's answer of I've never taught before.

 

AND here's an all new award site (she was looking for judges too) The Lie to Me awards. What I love about this site is that it has categories for best fic for practically every character. That is cool  so check 'em out and if you wanna judge see if she still has room. I know she got 6 as soon as she put out the call which is pretty amazing. Love the lay out but once you see it you'll know why. and if I'm reading it right, no NC-17 fic since it says no graphic sex, rape or slash (non explicit slash is okay

of course

Black Hawk didn't hate me. They DO want to do it smartly though, me dragging my ass to kinkos for a teleconference while I teach for 20 minutes to an empty room. I told them that the Kinkos DOESN'T have powerpoint. They don't seem to believe me (it really doesn't. Not ONE in 60 miles around Orlando has that capability. I know I've been down this road before. I'm not going to do it though. However job #2 in WI fell through so I have to be sure my parents are willing to help me or I may have to try this because I won't make enough teaching in WI to survive.

SHIT! Just realized I forgot to pay for my health insurance. Must get that 700$ check in the mail.

Went shopping today because I have no dress clothes to teach in. I haven't had casual dress clothes in 10 years since I wore surgical scrubs to see patients and not dress clothing (much more sanitary). I didn't find anything I liked (of course, it being tax free week in FL) but I'm in T.J. Maxx and I walk past clothing designed for girls 8-11 and they have gold and silver metallic panties. Excuse me? Is it horribly old fashioned of me NOT to want my little girl (should she exist) to be dressed up like a pedophile's wet dream? WHO buys hooker ware for their pre-pubscent girls?

Good news. Got the next chapter of Hyperion's Son done. As a teaser I offer you this, Angel gets beaten with a mace. Connor goes off to hurt himself.
