A quiet night, a stack of books, a tuna melt on rye

1. I knew as soon as I accepted the job that other things were going to come in. So now I have archaeological people emailing me for interviews. I already committed to the other one, but now I'm going to be wondering if I could have gotten started in my actual field. Grrr. Why can't people get back to you in a timely manner?

2. Said guy who emailed me spelled my name wrong. How difficult could it be to get it right? I wrote it at the bottom of the cover letter that I sent him, and its in my email address. Obviously he sent the email to the correct place and spelled my name correctly there. Why not in the actual body of the email?

3. I listed my first item on ebay as I am trying to get rid of some of the clutter in my room. We'll see how this goes and then move from there. So, if anyone is in the market for a bank shaped like Big Ben with Peter Pan and company flying across it you should totally check it out.

4. A letter to Blockbuster:

Dear Blockbuster,
Why did you raise your prices? I was quite happy with you being cheaper than Netfix. There was no reason for you to go and be the same price. And, no, the coupon for a free previously viewed DVD does not make up for it.
Yours,
Me

Wow, isn't that just the best title anyway?

1. I am such a dork. Driving both to and from the airport we passed signs for Nassau and all I could think was "That's where the Bartlett for America headquarters were". I have quite possibly seen to much West Wing even if I haven't watched it in a while.

2. Visiting my Aunt is the best because she has pets. Three whole dogs. One > bernese mountain dog
named Duece and two > norwich terriers
named Tyla (possibly Tyler) and Brady. I think the latter two sound like yuppie children, but they are named after football players. The terriers are so adorable, they put their little heads up between your knees when you sit down and look at you with big eyes saying "pet me, pet me". Duece sits down next to you looking all regal, knowing that you can't miss him.

3. Played risk again with undy_niable and his friend (who may have an lj but I don't know). Did much better, as they kept going back and forth trying to conquer Asia, and I was left on my own to take over Africa, South America, and North America.

4. Found out that the Shriner's parade is the highlight of living in Hanover. Not nearly as exciting as Mardi Gras. I think I may have been ruined for parades for life.

5. Dad has found some job for me to apply to at his office, which does not have anything to do with Archaeology or Museums, but which I can't really not apply to. I would at least get lots of money for graduate school, and would be in the South West with lots of free time to volunteer at a musuem and tour all the southwest arch. sites (or at least some, since I don't think anyone could ever see them all). We'll see how it all goes

I think that's it.

Still with the numbers

1. Went to the not-quite-freind's not-quite-graduation party. That was interesting. Spent most of the time sitting on a chair which got white stuff all over my pants. grr.

2. Sick of answering question on what I am going to do next year. Mostly due to the fact that I don't know and I would really like to know, so all those places with applications need to be calling me... now!

3. Cute cat. I need a cat.

4. Didn't end up going to Kildaire's. Really I don't understand it. When I was in New Orleans with all the bars in walking distance I never wanted to go. Now that I'm in West Chester where there needs to be a big production number thats all I want to do. Grrr.
