grabbed me some cold pizza from her house for breakfast this afternoon. I can’t possibly express how cool this was. :)

I’m about to head out to Shelby Township for turkey day tomorrow. I’ve got my clothes packed, the Dew ready, and a paper journal packed. Things are pretty tied up around here. Dropped off at class, and have caught up on LJ. I’ve taken out the trash, but have decided not to do the dishes. Maybe, when I’ll come back, they’ll stink, and that’ll motivate me to wash them.

I’m still disbelieving about the job. I’m excited and grinning and amazed, but still a little disbelieving. I will accept this and I will do well at this. Especially if I get a Titanium. Nyah, nyah, !

Okay, time to affix the tape on the ghetto-repaired stereo, top off the gas tank from returned bottles and cans, and head out to the land of Suburbia.

Horoscope

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): “Use your enemy’s hand to catch a snake,” advises a Persian proverb. Store that bit of wisdom in the back of your mind, Taurus. It may come in handy between now and the solstice, which should constitute one of the most interesting adversarial seasons in years. Here’s another counsel to guide you during this serpentine time: “Love your enemies. It’ll drive them crazy.” Perhaps the most useful epigram comes from Havelock Ellis: “Our friends may be the undoing of us; in the end it is our enemies who save us.”

I… um… I… I did it!

So, I’m going to have to call up Phone Banks and quit.

Because I got a better job.

That’s right. Salary plus commission for Eubulus Computers. Sales. Selling what, you ask? Macintosh computers? Sure! But not primarily. I’ll be focusing on selling IT services to companies that are too small to need a full-time IT position. Not convincing people that they don’t need their current IT people, thank the gods. This… this is going to rock.

Friday and Saturday

Ladies and gentlemen, it’s a recap! Damn right.

I really, really enjoyed playing in the local Camarilla game on Friday night. There were a lot of power struggles, and I almost used a plot (one that qualifies as a sledgehammer to the head in my opinion) to destroy a political enemy. Oh, how Ishmael has changed.

Saturday’s game wasn’t as good, in my oh-so-humble opinion. Wait! Don’t I run that particular game? Damn right, I do! I was impressed by the sheer number of incoming people that wanted to play in my game (in fact, they out-numbered the regulars, even if we added in the missing ones), but I was spun by argued rulings. I really like spinning this story, but I’m going to have to say something about rulings before next game.

This is one of the many reasons I hope I get the sales job. I’d have weekends off. The telemarketing job is going to be primarily on the weekends, and I have a feeling a lot of Saturday nights are going to be on my work schedule when I get it tonight. I want to keep telling this story.

Sunday’s going to get its own recap post, as it deserves one to itself.

Butterflies warring with stomach acid.

In about forty-five minutes, I will be leaving to the “Phoner Appreciation Night” for my class of people at Phone Banks, the telemarketing company that hired me. Not for actual telemarketing, mind you. I’m taking inbound calls. Pledges for PBS stations across the country. We get pizza and our schedules tonight, so there’s really nothing to be this nervous about.

Well, other than the end of an almost four-month era of my life in which I was either unemployed or employed with no work. It still makes me uncomfortable when I get this excited about being able to pay bills again. I guess it’s another question of getting hired and then not getting any work. That is probably a big fear that’s contributing to this nervousness.

On a good note, I’d forgotten how schweet my satellite speakers and subwoofer were compared to the built-in iMac speakers. Harmon-Kardon [sp?] makes really good speakers, there’s just no substitute for the subwoofer. Taaaasty Altec Lansing.

Free anime.

Have you ever been so bored with an anime that you’ve clipped your toenails? I have. Yeah, DevilLady blows. It’s a poor remake of DevilMan, emphasizing some sort of evolution conspiracy (never seen that in an anime before… bah) instead of a supernatural explosion of demonic entities. It’s stereotypical right down to the overbearing pseudo-governmental entity that initiates and controls the main character’s “evolution”. The only factor that is even slightly interesting is the lesbian overtone. Unfortunately, even that is pulled off in a bad soft-porn fashion.

I guess the lesson of this story is that if you’re going to get free anime in a raffle, you’ll most likely only be able to laugh at it, and not get into the storyline. Oh, and , it’s not even porn. The only nudity that’s shown is after the “evolution” transformations, and those are as anatomically correct as a Ken doll.

St00pid shower.

The shower won’t warm up, so I’m gonna write a bit here, I think.

So, plans are pretty set for Sunday. Looks like and I will be showing up at the illustrious Pizza House sometime around 6 or 6:30.

I still haven’t watched the free anime demon porn that I got on Thursday. Gotta do that some time soon.

I am once again without profound things to say. They’re there, mulling in the back of my head, but apparently someone set my mental to verbal translation setting to ‘simmer’.
