Busy, busy.  
I posted my second blog post last night, Gaia Online: a new kind of Internet socializing. Toss me a bone and click the link?

I am currently working on blog three, which is yet untitled. I don't title these things until the very end, when I say to myself, "Oh, fuck, I need a title! God damn it!" Much as I did in college. This one is a bit different from the others. I am relying quite heavily on quotes from three very generous friends who agreed to answer some questions for me. It's practically writing itself! (But not enough. Not nearly enough. I still need 300 words.)

Tomorrow I work two shifts of six hours each. One for Hallmark, and the other for Trader Joe's. That's probably going to suck. At least Trader Joe's has the added benefit of being new and different. I am going in for training at 7pm, and expect to get out at 1am. My shift at Hallmark is from 10am to 4pm. Luckily, a coworker agreed to switch with me on Wednesday, so I shouldn't be losing any hours this week (praise be to Heaven), and will have time to finish up and post blog #3, as well as pack for my trip. What I am to pack, I have not thought. Something nice? Something cool? I imagine with all of So Cal being up in flames, the air might be a tad on the warm side.

Sadly, I will be missing out on whatever hijinks they'll be getting up to this weekend here in the city, but I am sure we will continue after I get back. Err, and after the holiday? I imagine most of us are staying in the area that weekend, though, and unwinding after a hard day of Xmas season retail should be high on the bill. Tonight Megan, Ruth, and I were talking about having a movie and game night during which we play Clue and also watch the movie, which Ruth has shamefully never seen. I should invite them over for Grady's zombie games. I think they'd love them. Should also have the folks send out my board games. I seem to be surrounded by gamers of all kinds out here.

I'm looking forward to my extended weekend in So Cal, despite it being quite dangerously on fire. I hope the bus makes it through. I want to see Pumpkin! :(
