OK NOBODY ELSE DIE TODAY BECAUSE SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS THIS IS GETTING RIDICULOUS.


It must be aprilfoolsday because they told me I could get unemployment until four thirty and I went at four and they said no they meant three thirty hahaha and then I tried to call and get health insurance and they said to wait and someone would call me maybe by the end of the week but maybe on Monday and I thought maybe I need it right now do you see the way people are dropping today? Maybe I will go home and hide in bed that way nothing can fall on me (don't) and there is nothing for me to fall into and I am very tired anyways because my sleep was interrupted by thunder and The Arcade Fire and GNR and Herbie Hancock very loudly on repeat at 6am and I dunno if that is a good replacement for the internet because for the love of god it's 6am.
Toco Hills is one of the best places in Atlanta because where else can you get unemployment, the best thai food in atlanta, the new beck album and thousands of dance studios all under one clearly-designed-in-the-early-80's mini mall!

(oh and the new beck album is so much better than the downloaded version and also it comes in a book with a dvd yes i am in love and have been since freshman year of high school, loser baby)


oh man the news just said the pope has a high fever!

This easter I have decided to honor one of christianity's unsung heroes- someone who too often gets left out of easter baskets and brunches alike. And even though most of us are too busy scarfing down peeps and hiding/disposing the eggs/evidence to make the pilgramidge down to the movieplex 16 for the traditional Viewing Of The Cut Of The Director Of The Passion Of The Christ, here's hoping each and every one of us keeps a little Mel Gibson in our-
fuck it, here are some easter pics I made based on the aforementioned theme:


happy easter!

egg decorating ideas:


and this:

similes, smilies, simians, similar (italicized, yep)

It is Saturday night, I am spending Saturday night with an internet, must be the storm that already sent one of my lighters to a watery grave. Must be.
Last night I was the type of girl who would pee in front of a boy but not go home with one cause: basically let's face it going home with a boy does little to expedite the bathroom line. Oh man I just remembered there was a bottle of crisco oil in the bathroom totally without context not even the faint smell of fried shampoo and also that I was trying to remember what it was called when you see some stripes from far away and the stripes start to fuck with your eyes like sun on midday pavement. And also something with rami about not gurus but what? My night= a series of unanswered questions.
I drove some people home two of whom were named erin and on the way to my car I said "help I am being followed by a gang of erins" and I thought it was hilarious but no one else did, this is probably why I do not go home with boys it's all becoming so clear like hindsight on a windex kick. And then brian played traffic director to my thirty six point turn.
Oh, and pics.















(It's really fucking funny when scene kid 1 is wearing white with black stripes and scene kid 2 is wearing black with white stripes and then they stand next to each other and then you find yourself referencing "the english patient". Because who references that it would be like pointing out that the theme song from "bosom buddies" sounds familiar in a way that has absolutely nothing to do with tom hanks.)

I have two phone interviews sort of at agencies in the midwest. Um, yeah. The midwest, that giant expanse of land I have only ever read about in books. I guess I will actually get to see whether or not it actually exists.

Here is more spam nonsense- I promise to eventually stop posting this stuff but this one starts and ends with sandwich references to I felt it was calling out to me or maybe I just want a sandwich:

save my occasional foray into the bed and breakfast industry- breakfast will consist of cigarettes and an all-you-can-eat-from-my-collection-of-expired-condiments-buffet. It will be served promptly at 4pm.

this is a rather depressing industry my apartment is such a whore.

I just compared ed harris to a pringle. In an i-chat conversation I just did that.
The amazing part is this: this is not the first time tonight ed harris has weaseled his way into unrelated conversation. It's the second.

*I have officially fufilled my ed harris mention quota for the year ever. Which was twice, can you believe it??!!!*










I am going to lay in my bed and cry about 2005 and maybe this time I will actually attatch the clean sheets to my mattress, but I will probably fall asleep before I see the point being the only one who ever sees them-

Friday was not at all as bad as I thought it would be, as I thought half-sleeping some alcohol off, I thought I would be thirsty and hungover and the headache would last all day like it has good god. But the sun was agreeable this time and even driving to lagrange was not all that bad. Of course eventually my mother started an argument she refused to take credit for, but that's bound to happen and I said I was gonna drive my car into a ditch but I guess nobody was listening.
I didn't actually drive my car into a ditch but I did wash it today. It once again looks like an egg, and the best thing about my car is that it looks like an egg.

Here is a picture I found on my mother's computer. The only explanation I have is that she teaches preschool, you take it from there:

Ok, so I'm not going to SXSW. Because well let's face it, it's 2005. And 2005 is not the year of Jill.

Oh, and also cause the driver's car needs a new timing belt and you know what they say about Austin and timing belts: "you need one to get there".

Here's more semi-literature from my junk mail- this time our protagonist has a run-in with the master of magicians david copperfield!

Today was slightly Tennessee Williams, a boring Tennessee Williams reality show and I think it was just the weather. Everything smelled like unexpected sweat, then the sky turned dark and storm-electric dark even though it never really stormed. Maybe it was that the threat of storm= threat of melodrama and nope, none of that either. I've felt a notch off today, feverish? but my themometer's broken so I guess I can't confirm anything. I'm gonna go home and have a glass of seet tea* and rest and then tomorrow the job hunt is go.


*sweet tea.

this is my favorite one, damn good:

I get postcards from my travelin' friends, I finally scanned them in. They must be shared.
The files are pretty large, so I'm only gonna post one right now and maybe more later.

(housekeeping)


Last night around 3am I wrote: I HATE CARRYING PEOPLE AROUND LIKE A LUMP IN MY THROAT AND I AM JUST WAITING FOR THE HAT TO DROP.

And also:

I should be doing exactly what I want to do right now but then again I should not be doing exactly what I want to do right now. Not right now.

Besides, I have PDFs eternal to organize into a portfolio. A "portfolio": my entire damn life into a portfolio, I will be sad to move. I think maybe the thing I want to do right now is to move but it will make me sad. Then again I'm sad right now so what the hell, what the hell.

That was last night, I have since e-mailed an assembled PDF, so at least that's done. Now I just sit back and wait for the calls to roll in. Or just fall asleep. I'm pretty open, what with having nothing to do and all.

(here to there is better, scream it like conduit!)

Meaning to say, almost all recent computer opportunities have been spent moving files this way and that, glaring at tiny spinning rainbows on different screens and wondering how much longer can this possibly take. Everything's living in transit, impatient/bored and wondering if that stomach acid is dread or excitement or both comingandgoingandrepeat.
Today I cleaned out my cubicle and lemme tell you I cleaned out my cubicle. Two years worth of kitch covering up all that grey, had you seen my coworker (or former, I suppose) and I transporting said decor to my car you most likely would have noticed that, among other things, we were carrying the seacatch game (with kevin costner action figure inside the game- the player is now the playeeee...), a glass lamp with a fringed shade, a string of hula-girl lights, a giant laquered unicorn clock straight outta the 70's (acquired prior unicorn fad explosion thankyouverymuch) and my autographed Fabian pic left over from my mom's fanclub dayz. I wanted to be finished, to not have to deal with everyone asking me if I was ok, I am ok ok, I will nod and smile and please just let me finish cleaning. There was an eerie flat sadness to that particular space and to that space's occupants. I'm not sure if everyone's reacting to recent events, or if it's always been there and I have just never noticed because of all my decor and because of all my life outside the office- a reason to jump on the interstate, to drive goddammit.
I drove home and the weather was grey here too, one little melodrama of one. Setting: weather.

Anyways, here are some pics from the enon show on saturday and from other things that were not the enon show:

So, um...as much as I hate revealing this via internet- as of today (or tomorrow I suppose) I am unemployed. It's a long story. Ok not really but it only makes sense if you knew what was going on at the agency. Meaning to say it wasn't just me. Damn, I love some corporate america.
Anyways, I probably won't be updating near as often (or on i-chat) since the laptop belonged to the office and is no longer in my possesion. Even though I'm going to be broke as fuck for a bit, I'm not worried too terribly much about finding another job- time to call those headhunters that keep calling me...and collect those freelance checks...it seems like I have both a million things and nothing to do at the same time. This year is officially sucking again.
Trying to think of this as a "mental vacation" is not going so well. The fact that I was about to have a mental breakdown there is currently being overridden (is that a word?) by, you know...bills and shit. I need to contact the people I started at the agency with, my friends there who have been telling me to get out for months, but first I am going to do some heavy drinking. (which for me involves no more than two glasses of wine) Oh and I need to go pick my car up from the shop and pay the $900 repair bill. Right, that then drinking.

I'm probably going to look in a different city. My lease is up and so is my patience with atlanta. And sobriety, that's definitely in order too considering the whole no income thing...starting tomorrow.

I reaaallly don't want to tell my parents about this.

I think I could be perfectly happy spending a better portion of each day arranging, dissassembling and rearranging hairpins into variations on the same upsweep, hair piled around my head as though I woke up with an infrastructure of small metal placeholders jabbing this way and that, victorian bedhead plus one for the bangs. It seems fitting that my nervous habit would be one that includes so many damn acoutrements, sentinent ones I think because where are they all? On the office floor, causing severe toilet clogs, flying out the car window onto the connector, blending in with everything and yes, everything. The evolution of the accessory maybe they are trying to be something bigger than their parts.
It does make for an interesting (and accessable) catatonic state, should I ever completely forget that there is life beyond preparing to face the outside world. It will be noon, 5pm, 3am, the following morning and it still won't be right, and they will ask where to find me and it's easy I'll be the one winding the already incomprehensible into an even bigger mess than my hair. My eyes will be the ones more determined than ever, my eyes will be mad I will turn around and greet visitors with mad eyes asking them did they find one pin. I can see my eyes go insane as my hair refuses to cooperate, my entire life falls into place around the fact that my hair will not.

My imaginary future= my imaginary institution.

If your life seems to be spiraling out of control but you are not sure exactly how fast, or rather you don't know the exact rate of the spiraling, measure it thus:
If you are spiraling at a greater or equal rate to the latter half of any episode of vh1's "behind the music" then you should probably seek help. If slower, then rock a little more dude cause your headshot is not going to turn all minor-key inverted right before cutting to commercial on it's own.



the drugs got harder...the music got sloppier...the years got college-ier...
