The Week in Review
It occurs to me that my blogging has become as sporadic as my junior-high journal-keeping was. I’m resisting the urge to write an entry that starts, “Dear Diary, It’s been a while!”
But, seeing as it has indeed been a week, here are the weekly highlights:
- Right Round at the Black Cat was cool. Definitely something I’d do again, though not by myself this time. DJ lil’ e spins a good party. But remind me never to complain about the cigarette smoke at Four Courts again- when I walked out of there, I smelled so badly like an ashtray I could barely stand to be around myself.
- Spent three days in beautiful Newark, Delaware (that’s pronounced “New Ark”) for yet more training. I drank margaritas with my boss’s boss and just about convinced him to buy a Mac. That’s pretty much all I have to say about that trip.
- Got my car inspected yesterday and surprise! I had to drop a few hundred dollars on brake work. Yippee. I probably could have gotten a better deal on the work if I had taken it to the dealership where I bought it and gotten the friend-of-sales-manager price, but that would have involved driving it around on the temporary “My Car is Broken” sticker, getting the work done, then getting it reinspected, all in the space of two weeks. I just don’t have time for that. Of course, being a single female, I have an innate distrust of mechanics, but pads and rotors do wear out, so there ya go.
- I went looking on iTunes for a song I had heard in Tom’s car a couple of days ago, and ran across this essay about it. Buy the song and listen to it before and after reading the essay.
- Oh yeah, and just because I love it when Dave Whiner Winer gets smacked down, here are some smackdowns that the blogging geeks among us will appreciate.
