More apocalypse, less angst
Worth a download.
Tom Waits is releasing a new three-album set November 21st titled Orphans. Of course there are pre-release downloads out there that will make you salivate for more. I would suggest you download “Road to Peace” for a quick taste of what promises to be another album of insightful melancholy….
Going national.
I’ve been asked if I’m interested in managing a national project. After I finished laughing, and realized they were serious, I said yes.
Funding isn’t in place yet, but who knows? It’s the closest thing I can get to advancement at this point… and wow, national information project management is just not something you get offered every day.
This, by the way means nothing until they make an official offer, just a inquiry into my interest. But still, I’m secretly excited.
*Sigh*
After a weekend of union meetings, I slept too long last night and am sluggish and a bit grumpy today. Despite that I’ve started packing the downstairs of my house up.. hoping the motions towards moving will create the karma I need to get a place!
The house I looked at on Charles Street last weekend is looking like a definite possibility, but apparently the owner is having trouble getting in touch with my references! The apartment building I last lived in no longer is managed by the same company and my employer wasn’t getting back in a timely manner (but apparently just did). I’m keeping my fingers crossed though – it’s not perfect, but I really hate looking for places to live – and dammit! i’m a good tenant.
Anyhow – if I do get that place, I won’t be moving until mid-December which gives me lots of time to pack boxes and curse at the amount of stuff I own. I have already managed to throw away a bag of garbage today in the packing process – and filled a couple boxes with sally ann donations. It’s shameful this accumulation.
The Big Snit.
Probably one of the best pieces ever produced by the National Film Board – an eighties animation classic… The Big Snit (and many other NFB animations) are now available to view online….. talk about bringing back my early days when CBC was one of only six channels that came into our house!
Cat Empire.
Anyone want to come with me to see the Cat Empire on Thursday night? They are playing at the Commodore. If I can find a date, I’ll go cause they rock.
