Day off. Shopping for colleges (nursing schools to be specific)...looks like Portland is a good place to study.
Key lime pie would taste good today...
Got a cheap ticket to South Carolina today...It'll be hot and muggy in August, but at least I'll get to see Charleston again. I miss the south...maybe I should move back permanently 
Oh well.
Oh well.

You should really consider updating.

Sigh.
I wish I was in Scotland with all the cool people...

The city of Portland has been virtually shut down since Tuesday morning. At first I thought it would be fun to stay home from work...finish some good novels, watch a few movies...but I am going nuts!
Cabin fever has set in, and it's just me, the cat, and hour upon hour of useless TV coverage of rotten weather. If it weren't for coffee and the...

A clever quote for the little Buddhist in all of us:
"To be a human is easy, to live a human life is hard; to desire to be human a second time is even harder. If you want release from the wheel, persevere."

Worrying is so pointless.
I lay in bed last night with dark thoughts tumbling through my head. It usually starts out very simply, thinking about finances and bills and such. Then it progresses to how I'm doing at work, which of course leads to where I am professionally. Of course the next logical step is thinking about WHERE I am in life. How did I...

I responded to your etymology comment in the comment section of my own journal (because it is quite long, doesn't have anything to do with what you've written here in your journal, so I thought it would be better to put it there). Go take a look! Thanks for paying attention.

I could definitely not handle working in an office every day...
Such an exciting Sunday evening...
Watching Doctor Zhivago (the PBS version) with a cat on my shoulder.
This version is a lot grittier than David Lean's. Lean must have cut a lot of the graphic scenes out, omitting whole chapters from Pasternak's novel.
I have a copy of "Crime & Punishment" sitting unread in my nightstand drawer...I'm in a tragic Russian epic sort of mood....

so there is another version (pbs movie?) of doctor zhivago beside the one with omar sharif? wait...i just googled dz and it looks like there's yet another version (remake?) out this year. hmmm. i need to get out more.
yeah, i'm definitely worrying way too hard about the quality of my stupid journal posts. i worry way too hard about most things. right now i'm worried about a little hairy spider that is skittering across my desk towards me.....

I know I'm jinxing (is that a word?) myself, but I really think I had a great interview today. It's not the greatest job in the world, but it pays far better than my current one, and...
Wait for it...
The office is across the street from my apartment. Three minutes from my front door!
How cool is that??

i hope you get it! and about the sad post - it actually replaced a former post that was both sad AND pathetic, so it's an improvement.
"White folks in the South who drive pickup trucks with Confederate flag decals on the back ought to be voting with us, and not [Republicans], because their kids don't have health insurance either, and their kids need better schools too."

Since Tuesday I've been helping a blind man in the office. He's taking a series of classes, and since his computer isn't working and we aren't equipped to provide adequate braile devices, I'm having to sit next to him seven hours a day to read to him from his textbook.
I'm not complaining...far from it! I enjoy spending time with him. He's extrordinarily intelligent...he can...
