end of poop?
aaah. so one more week (after tomorrow) of my stint here at dog&catpooplandia. passed off the basic web updating/production tasks, will pick up more poop through next week (barring any emotional snowstorms), and then i'm done! it's been an eventful year -- especially since i'd never intended to stay so long at it. but now it's time to leave. next stop, job with good sane people doing good creative work (i'd forego the creative, as long as i got the sanity and good work). so feel free to send along any leads.

the tough part is not getting TOO attached to any of the houndies in the meantime

so it's not-so-recently come to my attention that much of my audience (one out of, uh, three people) is really just reading to check in on dees. uh-uh.

well, she's working some impossible hours, becoming an expert in her field, and is tending toward occassional lapses from vegetarianism (mister tod is her enabler, tho I don't help). other than that, she's tending to wax poetic about baskie boy and she's turned into outdoors adventure girl (JOGGING at night, of all things).

guees that makes her mostly the same as always, except for the weird bouts of jogging...

another linky lunch
(now that we're mandated to clock out, i'm stopping all poop-pickup for a minit)...

picturesque: got me all wanting a little digital camera and all inspired to capture more of my day-to-day.

oh hell, everything else i browsed was less than inspirational. oh well, back to da poop.

notice
aaah. so on wednesday [11.06] I gave one month's notice at my place of employ [the fab puppy and kitty poop emporium]. uh. I have "prospects lined up" {read: craigslist, holiday werk at the gap, and a willingness for new crap} but no new job. I figure it's better to cut out now, before I'm fried even crispier than I am now. so yes, I am yet another designer looking for werk. I liked hillman curtis's take on design -- if I might paraphrase -- he said he was thankful to the field of design, because without it, he'd be a punk rocker doomed to temp jobs. or something like that. same fer me, just less punk, and a little more hip to the hop. or something. but basically, I'm just another working sot looking for comfier digs. enough with the physical labor and poop already.

on the pursuit of failure
enjoying the wintery weather today -- got thoroughly drenched on my way back from newt's last night (clutching a new-to-me ukelele -- and having eaten more vegetable matter than i have in about a decade), and so have spent today tucked away cosily with my houndies (averting illness! it's important!). snackins, warm beverages, more snackins, sitting on the back stoop feeling the storm blow/build. it's been a good day of no accomplishments.

to which, of course, my brain is screaming at me: "DO something! you have so much to get done! lazylazylazy, yeech..."

but really, i've decided for this stripe that i might need to explore/pursue failure. not that i don't get enough of it, but instead because i spend so much energy afraid of it. so what if i were to avidly choose paths that would lead to failure? it's pretty much the way things are anyway, right?

halloween
dunno if i've mentioned it, but this is my favorite time of year -- celebrate life and death, gain an hour, and the true "summer" weather comes out for a final hurrah after the bulk of the tourists have left. been busy with life -- dinners with buffy and election discussions, plenty o' dog poop, and regular hanging out with people and dogs.

quite a crazy, but fun, evening last night. i think we covered most of the city -- starting with miz dragonlady's haunted house in noe, improvisational parking rodeo, dinner with some ghastly (fake blood, that kinda thing) friends at a cosy little sushi place, checked out dees's friend's band, the Woody's, at the voodoo lounge, then onward (and public transport was very very interesting with dees's crazy costume, but more on that in a sec) to the inanity that was the castro. we ended up eating (of course!) and watching korean vids at jenie's house with don-back and lily.

so dees's costume was crazy good, probably the best one out there (pictures to come). she *made* this gorgeous (and enormous!) gargoyle -- complete with castle turrets and rushing water. is was quite the number to transport, and she was understandably exhausted by the end of the evening. i was decked out in my $11 cliff's kid-sized gladiator outfit (think russell crowe, but younger, and well, more queer).
