Browncoats unite!
Wow… I just got to see a test screening of Joss Whedon’s movie Serenity. I’m jumping up and down so violently my guns are firing off!
Work notes [week of Sep. 4]
My situation at work is unstable, all due to this production manager psychopath, who knows very little about the print industry, who is hyperactive and stresses everyone out in her path. A little hurricane in her own right. One guy calls her the Tasmanian Devil. He attempts cheering me up: “Take it easy.” “I’ll try.…… Continue reading Work notes [week of Sep. 4]

It’s something you would have to see for yourself to really understand. And each person really “gets it”…… Continue reading Six Feet Under

The move went well and we’re really enjoying unpacking everything in our new apartment. Exhausted to the point of near-collapse. As if someone has taken a large hammer to all vital organs. This has triggered old asthma wheezing and shortness of breath, probably from unloading dusty books onto their shelves – which should not last…… Continue reading Untitled

Traffic is hellish around this time, so when I get off work I head around the corner to the little wi-fi shop and drink tapioca juice. Had to have a talk with my boss today about my troublesome production manager. She is constantly out of line. Thought he should know. The good thing is, it…… Continue reading Untitled
