Now to see how soon the movers can come and transport me, and my clutter, to a new place.

Also, I finally found someone who I can really support for President...

WOw, sounds like things are going great for you!

I'm sorry, I couldn't even watch the video. I saw "hockey mom" and I just ground down my molars.

I live in Vineland, do you still have my number? Give me a call, I lost your number when I took my old phone swimming, ruined the phone and needless to say I couldn't get any of my contacts out of it. So i have a new phone, but the same number... so if you still have it, give me a ring.

I guess this is as good a time for updating as any. It's after 1am, I'm drunk, and it's my birthday tongue

What's new in Howdy's world? Well, I spent a lovely evening with Philly SGs and members, and for a great cause - raising money for the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society (PAWS). Sponsored by the sweetest hottest street-hoola-hoopingest and cotton-candy-servingest Suicide Girl on earth...

Hello SG-land!
Someone recently reminded me that I haven't updated in eons.
Upon reflection, I've decided that my life is far too boring.
But rather than make up stuff, here's a sampling of what lazy-ass Howdy has been up to.
Remember, you (or someone you know) asked for it. wink

A friend turned me on to a new (to me) music duo (German and Finnish,...

17th Philadelphia Film Festival April 3-15, 2008

I saw 36 films in 13 days. (Yes, I'm fairly sick of movies for a little while now.) All but three were reasonably good.



I got to meet the director and/or stars of several films; the biggest star...

Oh well, still jobless but not devoid of hope.

I'm treating myself to the Philly Film Fest for the next ten days or so. Let's see how many films I can see before I'm utterly burned out. wink And I sure hope to run into various of you SGs and members there! Come out and support film as an art form, not just as an escape...

Job search update:

numerous phone interviews
one on-site interview in San Francisco
one job offer (San Francisco)
and I'm probably going to turn it down.

Why? It's even more fucking expensive to live there, but they are offering me only about the same pay as I was getting here. Also, there are a couple of other possibilities I'm pursuing.

One company in Wisconsin - where...

I'm doing fine and have thrown myself passionately back into the job market.

And I read a wonderful book that I felt like sharing with you - my SG friends!

Ok I'm confused! First I was Howdy, then I appeared briefly as "Howdy1" - much to my consternation. But now I'm back to my old self. biggrin And all I did was send an irate mail to admin and complain in my blog (and in Monica's). I think she might be a goddess (or at least a very influential SG). shocked

In other news - yesterday...

First of all - thanks to all those really crazy and wonderful people who shared their weirdness with me after being tagged. It's always great fun to find out things about people - some of whom I've know for quite awhile here.

Next - check out the latest sets from some of my old friends: Karma (with Alexis), Vivid, Morrigan; new friends:...

That cheeseburger is sick! hahah. Anyway, yea we should still hangout sometime, but i just want to be done with the city. We'll figure something out. I got your message, last week??? i think. I've been meaning to return your call but i suck at the whole phone thing. And i really have been busy running around, my puppy was sick, accumulated a vet bill of over $1000 and i'm trying to work some overtime to make the money to pay it off as soon as possible. as for Rob, we've been seeing each other for almost two years, by this point most relationships i've been in have gone downhill... but we just keep getting better and it amazes me. I might be headed to philly soon to get a tattoo, when i figure it all out, i'll let you know maybe we can hang then.

i always like given gifts to friends... glad it made your weekend smile
