What did Paula do today? Hm...



[--Because I DIDN'T send out a cover letter that began with a sentence fragment.  Caught that one just in time.  What kind of job am I applying for again?  Not something that deals with quality writing, right?]



[--Because I sent out 3 applications before my flash drive decided to eat the cover letters and corresponding CV files.]



[--Because of snarky comments made to roommates instead of the intended party.  Still blows off steam, with 90% less bitchiness!]


SOTD: Bob Gentry - Upside Down. This is on the Jog Tunes Indie podcast. I dig it.

Urge to destroy CVs... rising



[--Because ‎"We're from Iowa: we're easily amused. All it takes is an itchy butt--sometimes not even that...Sometimes all it takes is a butt."]



[--3/5 applications sent in ain't bad.]




[--Because I was allowed to revamp my profile like 20 times after I submitted my application to add things on one places' job application site. Do they get notification when I change it? Probably.]


SOTD: Skrillex - Kill Everybody (with wicked sick dance moves.)

25 September 2011

Some days are better left un-burnt.


[--Because I didn't burn down the house with the vacuum or the forgotten blueberry syrup.  Both of which started to smoke on me.]




[--Because Mary and I didn't make treacle tart with my culinary skills so blatantly screaming "YOU CAN DO NOTHING TODAY!!!"]



[--Because of friends who are straight up and tell you exactly how you can be better.  Pussyfootin' around ain't for this girl.]


SOTD: Natalie Walker - Colorblind

24 September 2011

Gaming is swell!


[--Because I FINALLY have joined the awesome throng of those who have played Portal.]



[--Because I managed to not either do terribly bad or make a huge social blunder while playing Apples to Apples with a bunch of math nerds I didn't know.]



[--Because I witnessed someone play Duck Hunt to level 20.  Miracles happen every day.]




SOTD: Lady Gaga - Telephone. Best sung with a friend in a car at the top of your lungs. (This isn't the whole video

23 September 2011

Trains galore!



[--Because of the people who randomly share umbrellas at street corners. : ) ]




[--Because the MARC train's conveniently close and not too expensive.  With an income.]



[--Because, even though things are complicated, at least I haven't had to sleep with anyone for money, and when I married someone who lived far away, no one didn't greet me at the train station because some jerk shot my husband and his kids.]




22 September 2011

DC DAY ONE!



[--Because of lunch with awesome RPCV ladies. Dutch sushi date?]




[--Because of the human ability for setting oneself up for destruction. Especially when related to relationships.]




[--Because of meetin' a whole slew of rad RPCVs. They're just cool people.]



SOTD: The Bell - Today

21 September 2011

Hummus is yummus.


[--Because of all the people who replied to my grammar question.  Except maybe one.]




[--Because of yummus.]



[--Because of half an hour phone rants in Georgian.]



SOTD: Jhameel - How Many Lovers
