How am I going to keep myself from giggling?

I have an interview tomorrow with a guy named Lance Leasure. Seriously. Pretty good porn star name, but not so much for a director of project management! How am I going to keep a straight face?

Damn Horoscopes!

Today's Cancer Horoscope: Feb 08, 2008
It is never very agreeable to have to question oneself, dear Cancer. But this is the main objective of today's planetary energies, here to launch you into new adventures. So, take advantage of the configuration to look inside yourself and find the source of some of your failures. This is not an easy exercise, to be sure, but it will do you an enormous amount of good. Just be honest with yourself.

Well, shit, this makes me resentful. Have I be doing much of anything else than pondering, sifting, probing the source of my failures? It may appear that I'm reading a book, or watching a movie, or taking a bath, or surfing the internet, or applying for jobs, or having a conversation, or taking a walking, or driving from here to there, or brushing my teeth, or bowling, or writing a post, or eating my supper but behind all that I am constantly picking away and asking why, why, why?

I find this irritating to no end. "Do it some more!" this horoscope mocks. Or do it better. Or do it differently. Argh! Not only have I failed, but I'm failing at determining why I failed or how I failed and why I'm failing still. Take cover. Today I want to growl at someone.

How I Feel Today

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah! Blah blah blah blah blah -- blah. Blah, blah, and blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, blah blah blah blah. No word on the job yet. Blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah blah. "Blah blah blah blah blah."

Blah blah blah blah! Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah.

Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah, blah blah. Time for a nap. Blah blah blah blah blah. Blah! Blah blah blah blah.

My Monster learns to Bowl.

My Monster tries to Hide.

My Monster likes to Climb.

My Monster plays on the Slide.

That's all for now. My Monster wore me out today!

Other People's Blogs

Of course, since starting my own, I've been randomly surfing other people's blogs. A lot of people are doing some really creative stuff out there. And a lot of people are not.

At first I was really, really struck by how many Brazilians have blogs. Who knew? Page after page with 'de Janeiro' on it somewhere as I was skimming along. One page finally caught my eye with some cool photography and I realized it was the DATE (of January), not the place. '31 de Janeiro 2008' and I somehow kept thinking Rio.

I'm feeling sheepish.

Isn't it interesting how some things can embarrass us, even when we are all alone and know one knows?

The other I noticed is that a lot of people have a lot more pictures and many of them are quite good. And many of them are not. So, here's a pic I like, just because.

The mural on the stairway of Karolyn's apartment in Prague.

Imagine getting to see that every day when you get home!

I admit to some laziness and anti-climax feelings today after the big round of job interviews -- despite applying for a couple of new things this morning, I'm pretty much feeling as if I'm just waiting around hoping to hear and it's vaguely irritating. I'm pretty much just killing time this morning. Blech. I'm going to go read a book.
