You are still older than me? How could that be. I feel like I've aged a
decade in the past couple of years. Yesterday, I was asked for ID when I
stopped to buy a beer. Short hair makes me look like a 20 something person,
I guess. I'm thinking about growing a beard. It will be about 1/3 grey. I
don't think my age will be guessed incorrectly if I do that.
We had our first soccer game today. We won 5 to 1. Yay!
I've had some sort of intestinal virus for a week. It'd be nice if it went
away. It's getting old.

That's my latest site. Should be up ... hmmm ... tomorrow if I get off my

In any case, see you again in a month or two.

just doesn't seem to work for me anymore. time for a blog or something.
vistica can be previewed at inisit.com tonight.
we are filming in atlanta this weekend, in tampa a couple weeks later, and a
bit further west after that.
hung out with electro jack (violetwands.com) last night. He's been talking
about making an instructional video for a while. vistica might do it for
him. We'll see.
heh
vistica should be up tomorrow (didn't get around to changing the name
servers till tonight)
oh, and yes, I am very serious.

how does one practice that anyway? I mean, I didn't have sex for about 5
months last year at one point. hmm.
OK. Let me be honest with myself. July 2000 (hardly celibate), August
2000 (same), September 2000 (stopped after I kicked Maria out), October 2000
(3 times with ... Beverly but she got to be a bitch so ...), November 2000
(usenet chic visited), December (ok, so then too), January (ok, so at least
one or two) .... Feb-May is a blur of too much sex and drugs (don't add
anything here Mr Foster - btw, a guy who is thinking of investing in my corp
has your name - figure it's good karma)
ok, so if you add up 2 weeks here, three weeks there, I might have
approached 3 months in the year Sept 2000 - June 2001 time frame.
> One would imagine.
I guess so. I mean, I really thought that I was being celibate for most of
that time. I suppose this years attempt will to be monogamous. Guess I
won't partake in the after filming free time pursuits that I've heard about
a bit.

>how does one practice that anyway?
Very carefully. I was considering the 440 celebrate, myself. The
neighbors downstairs seem to be gearing up for the MARATHON celebrate, which
evidently involves a great deal of Tejano music - Tejano music with really
loud xylophone and bass. Perhaps they have decided to pretend they are
Jamaican. Tejanos. Or maybe they are avoiding being identified as terrorists.
'NO NO! ET ES ONLY DE ZYLOPHONE, MON!'
>I mean, I didn't have sex for about 5 months last year at one point. hmm.
But were you celebrate?
>OK. Let me be honest with myself.
Why? Nobody else is.
>July 2000 (hardly celibate),
I wasn't celebrate either.
>August 2000 (same), September 2000 (stopped after I kicked Maria out),
Funny. I kicked Maria out too!
>October 2000 (3 times with ... Beverly but she got to be a bitch so ...),
So it doesn't count if your partner(s) at the time are screaming (and
panting!) 'STOP! IT ISN'T VERY GOOD! STOP! IT ISN'T VERY GOOD!'?
>November 2000 (usenet chic visited),
It was chic to be celebrate?
I should pay more attention.
>December (ok, so then too),
Wow. This celebrate stuff is pretty trendy.
>January (ok, so at least one or two) .... Feb-May is a blur of too much sex

So you were celebrating being celebrate?

It does seem that way. I leave here for a while and some of the
oldsters start chatting. I show up and ... they stop. Perhaps I should
watch Barney reruns or something.

This weekend a woman in front of me registered her kid as Ernie
Munster. I think it was Ernie anyway. They had black hair. She wasn't
as thin as morticia but the kid looked like the young Munster boy.

Great. I'm on the opposite. Our company policy states that salaried
employees are expected to work 50-70 hours per week. At my level, 70
hours is expected. Neat thing is that it may all end tomorrow. A board
member got in touch with a guy who funded the company I worked for in
California and ...
I find out in the morning. I'm concerned but,strangely, calm.

Silly Bob. Don't you know I always come prepared? I went back to lurking Angst
about a month ago. I know all about the two jobs in eight weeks, the marriage,
and the sister thing. You've landed on your feet, and I suspect that the
reason why you're feeling calm is because you're realizing that you are the
type to always land on his feet. Adversity? HA! Bob spits in its face!
I'm genuinely happy for you, but if you really want to keep me happy, keep
flaming Johnny Favorite (it means pompous asshole). You do that SO well.

Nope you spell it like everyone else does. However, there is only one N.
It makes no sense.
So why a leave of absence? kids driving you mad?

No, not at all. I had two pretty good reasons. The first reason is that I've
been searching for an administrator's position, and they don't get sabbatical.
I might not get an admin job, but if I do I don't want to look back on my
career and say I never took the time off. After all, it's a pretty good perk in
a pretty perkless profession. Where else do they pay you 75% of your salary to
take classes? The classes are the second reason. This one you can relate to. I
love classes, and I haven't taken an actual literature class since 1979
(undergrad). My two master's were in theater and ed admin, so I wanted to take
some English classes. I'm taking Writers of WWI, English Lit of the 19th
Century, and Creative Writing. I LOVE it!
How close is the dis to completion? Don't give up, J. I know you're close. It
took me eight years to finish the first masters.

i'm sure!
i'm taking my first class in almost 3 years. its tedious as all hell, but i
am enjoying myself!

It
> took me eight years to finish the first masters.
it took me 5 to do my masters. i'm on year 4 with the phd, but i did take 2
years off.
I'm hoping to maybe defend by this time next year. I still don't have a
topic worked out. I'm trying to read like mad, and i am developing some
ideas. HOpefully by may i will be able to sit down and write up a proposal
and outline. Then its just a matter of sitting down for a few months and
writing.
I haven't given up on it, but i am still toying with some other ideas (thus
the other class). I even almost applied for the Teach for America. I
decided not to because i would rather not teach in the high school, but i
still haven't excluded it yet. I just want to get back into the class room.
I miss it.
And my husband wants me working as soon as possible. He completely supports
my phd and has enabled me to give up some cleaning jobs to spend more time
working on the diss. He also supported (and paid for, i might add) the class
i am taking. He's all for me getting where i want to go, but being the dear
he is, he has impossed a time limit. we want a house, so we need two
incomes.

He should support you, that's what spouses are supposed to do for each other.
It sounds as if he's encouraging you, too, which is equally important. The time
limit might be a way to motivate you, and it's fair. A degree, unless there are
distracting circumstances (like a maternity leave) shouldn't take forever.
Fair is fair, after all.
By the way, he didn't pay for you. You're partners. His money is your money,
and your money is his money. That's just a sticking point with me, when it
comes to marriage.
Bonnie
matisse
its actually ALL my money --as i manage it, make sure the bills get paid.
It took him a while to break himself of his old habits of always carrying
cash on him, but i have convinced him that using the bank card IS the only
way to go.
he's great, and we do have an equal marriage thing going on. Except, of
course, i am in charge of the house. But tis alright, i have more time --i
guess.
He is a real sweetheart, and i can't wait to renew our vows in a few months.
This first year was hard at times (we gave up smoking for a while and i
became a complete bitch) but it has been easier than i had thought it would
be. I have heard such horror stories about the first year of marriage. It
hasn't been that bad and i just love him even more. He is my best friend and
i hope to keep it that way.

I just responded to her bf's Dec 24 email once again. It was a one

beat me up or to have others do it.
