tikka masala and Ran

i just had indian food for lunch, and i was watching Ran but i got distracted...


i got back late last night from Disney World! it was, as expected, magical, and things are moving, if not slowly, in the direction of me moving back. i miss Dylan a lot, and seeing him for the first time in a month was really, well, the best around...now i just need the job/sublettor/roommates...

DVC deferred me for consideration for their undetermined third hire date...so that's a no
I'm on the waiting list for FT and PT at Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique
And now, the awesome part: the guy who interviewed me was actually the Recruiter for Entertainment technicians so, needless to say, that was awesome, and my resume is being "forwarded for further consideration"...

for serious, i hope more than anything in the world that shit works out!

money is running low. a job would be good, be it here or down there. i bought this for Dylan for christmas (until November 16th, cast members get 50% off merch purchased inside the parks, so i got this baby for $80 instead fo $160...oy), among other things because i'm always shopping, especially in Disney World (thank god for parents, and them paying for everything on vacay!)

i'm still going to buy a stupid point and shot digi cam, because i mean, c'mon already!

FAF

well, last night was a great success, i feel! it's true, only 3 or 4 items got auctioned, and the $95 cufflinks were stolen from the raffle prize table, but a lot of people came out, and it was a great time! My parents came and so did sylvie and sean and it was just super fun, and hilarious.


The mentalist got me to read his MIND and the pianist took all of our weird requests, and there was free wine and beer, and food and fun!

anyways, i'm just waiting for the Dr.'s Lavin to arrive, so we can go to Disney World already!!!!

"pheromones are just a huge part of it"

My mom and I were talking about my habit that looks remarkably like ADD of just talking about shit forever. A stream of consciousness that is constantly changing and nuts, but I usually never lose track of what I was talking about originally (I use the word usually very loosely here). 


This is one of the things she said "...maybe it's better to filter out things and have a certain percent of your verbal output be intended for actual interaction."

Very funny stuff. 

I spoke to the Florida realtor this morning, and she answered my questions that I posed to her long ago. She was waiting for the owner to get back to her. But anyways, they say they won't let anyone else look at the house as long as I promise to move in by December 1st. So I think I'm going to do that.

A Scholastic Experiment

So...I'm taking the GRE today at 4:30. I am in NO WAY prepared...I have a GRE text book and some practice tests on CD-ROM, and I've read maybe 30 pages out of the book, tops, and have not completed any of the practice tests.


So...I'm still taking the GRE today at 4:30. But let's call this one practice. Stay tuned for when I return home at 9 o' clock tonight with the unofficial Verbal and Math scores.

oy. vey.

Princesse would be Proud

100 Rainbow Hair Ties
nci
There's 2 of Me Here
Look at these great hair ties I bought today!!!!

I was alone in the office almost all day with the kitties! Ok, not all day, but for a few hours with pepper and miso, the kittens. i should get pictures of them!

it was also one of the most stressful days ever, what with

Facebook kid bailing out on me vis a vis subletting

Celia (the pregnant realtor) not writing me back with answers to all my questions on the townhouse next to Dylan even though she told me on the phone that she was writing it up then.

Also: who am I going to live with down there?

Having to change the Lavs resort reservations for higher value Family Holiday Discount packages including the meal plan, during which, my phone dies. 

What the hell was I going to do about the GREs?!?!?!?!?!* 

Knowing that I'm not going to get USC's application in on time, and withdrawing, as well as notifying my recommenders that they don't have to write shit by November 1st. oy.

So i need to organize some stuff, and chill out, and slow things down a bit. I'll go to Disney, see if I get these jobs, and THEN i will worry about subletting my room, and renting down there.

i'm also applying for teaching jobs at Full Sail University? yeah, the don't even require a Bachelor's! just three years of profesh experience...ok ok, so i haven't had 3 FULL years, but for the last 3 years, i'd say i've had a fair amount professional experience for someone my age!



*i'm taking them, kind of as a practice, but shit, will I probably not do good...i'm going to schedule another one in November, but first, i have to find out where the fuck i'm going to be living) (hell no, I wouldn't forget indigo)

kiss my ass, forces of evil in Middle Earth

so i'm pretty much dominating Lord of the Rings Risk right now against Adam, Adam and Thomas. No big deal. 


I probably shouldn't say that...it'll jinx it...although i put it on facebook, and i still kicked ace this evening.

whatever. no autographs, please.

it's a docu-series, not a movie

Hillary: i'm catching up on favourite shoppe!

Auto response from Sylvie: ?

Sylvie: wheeee!

Hillary: that's a nickname for it that i just came up with

Sylvie: hee hee

Hillary: omg so you have to come to the Film Art Function which is the gala benefit for which i am producing, editing, and also apparently writing, shooting and acting in, a short film


Yeah, so that pretty much sums it up. I mean, I'm not the only one writing it, obviously, or the only one shooting it. But yes basically, this is a sweet deal!


still no word from Tom Stamper vis a vis video tech posish in Disney World

BUT i did get word from the DVC* people, saying that I'm still in consideration for the openings that we have so that's good stuff


also, that's what she said...i'm just sayin'





*The Disney Vacation Club is Disney's "best-kept secret," of course! It is a fabulously expensive vacation time share experience that is obviously the balls because sales are rising exponentially. Everyone wants this shit. They're building tons of new condos and rooms for it. Anyways. The position is working in a call center, making reservations at these bombastic rooms and restaurants, etc. Yeah, it's lame, I know, but it starts at $9 an hour, I get to go to disneyworld all the time for free, I get health benefits (which i need when my COBRA kai dies, until grad schoolings), and most importantly, i get to be with DYLAN ALL THE TIME! ooh! sorry, got a little excited

thank you, Catholicism

holy shit. i think i just left my trunk popped all night, and nothing was stolen, or fucked up. there might still be a bomb in it, but i started and drove it and turned it off, so i think we're safe, unless it's time release.


that's how you know you live in a good neighborhood. or that you parked in from of the Roman Catholic diocese of park slope...?
