weather report
Jul. 26th, 2006 08:26 amNice and cloudy this morning, with a coolish breeze, the sky dark with impending rain off to the southwest. The sky makes promises which I hope it keeps.
Got pretty grumped and melancholy yesterday, result of too many job apps, I think, and some fear and angst. So I went out to the grill night in the evening, ate of some lovely foods (salmon grilled in sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, and chile sauce, mmmm, and some pablano chicken enchiladas someone brought, and the asparagus I grilled in olive oil and kosher salt) and let the lovely evening breeze and the billow of swallows against the twilight mellow me.
The new novel, for which I currently have too many tentative titles, is starting to happen. I wish I was one of those people who blazed ahead with impressive word counts day by day, but I am not.
I seem to have social engagements Thursday through Sunday, and possibly tonight. How strange and uncommon. Although I arranged one of them myself, which is to go see this movie on Thursday night. Do my East Vanners know of this? (warning: the link is probably worksafe, but the word porn does appear)
Popular wisdom is that networking and contacts will get you a job much more often than applying to jobs on websites, but I started with the networking and so far it's yielded nothing viable, and I don't want to pester my friends and acquaintances a third time...so I'm left with the less than rewarding jobsite mining.
