How to make Cheap "wine" with Kool-Aid.

"It’s drinkable after about 2 weeks, but improves greatly after 3-4 weeks."

Define "drinkable..."

My co-worker says they used to do that with jugs of grape juice as a teen in Idaho. Don't think they used a pin on the balloon, though.

I loved that wedding video. I Have lots of positive vibes for a couple that was willing to work on that together.

If you are as Christian as you say, why do you favor the rich so much? Wasn't there some story about a camel, and a needle eye, and better chances of passing that then a rich man passing the gates into heaven???

Well, that's why they have to favor the rich now - because the rich won't get much favor in the life to come. I really get a sick feeling thinking about someone who brags on her own lack of integrity being so insistent a church-goer, and even worse that she is a Sunday school teacher.

OH! Do y'all know what I saw at the dollar section at Target today? 12 oz glass bottles of Coca Cola. Wayyyyyy too cute.

Ha.

this took me forever to get up on my blog. So everyone must watch the video of an iris plant being yank from my yard by a truck.

I had a little ego boost at work today!!

Background. Our e-mail system SUCKS. Not just because it's Outlook 2000 (or some such). But it has 200 MB space per user. MEGA BYTES. 200! TINY. You get a new script, and a couple revisions. Forget about it. Then, the server is only accessible when you have a hard wire port plugged in to your computer. Fine for the office folk. NSM for the production folk on laptops.

A bunch of us were complaining at lunch one day, and the person who is in charge of the procuring of IT services made a face, and said sternly, and defensively, "look, that shit costs money, and we just don't have that much. Server space is expensive!".

First I was like "dude, get a 1TB drive, and slap it on the server. $150, no problem". Nope, server is off-site, to save $ on maintenance. So, then I researched Google e-mail. If I can get a FREE e-mail account with 25 GB or something, why can't we use their services?!? Turns out we can. $50/user/year. And apparently, it's A LOT cheaper than what we are getting now.

This will open the door to Google Calendars, which import into iCal just fine! And maybe utilize Google Groups to post files that outside artists can access as well as internal employees!

Ahh, my dream of paper free theater is slowly coming to fruition!

OK, now I gotta put the clean sheets on the bed, and go to sleep.

Good for you, omnis! Sweet dreams.

I came across an interesting opportunity today. I had planned on getting a job as an operations manager as quickly as possible since that's where my skills are but I learned in career counseling it's not my ideal job. The problem is it could take months (or forver even) for me to figure out what I really want to be when I grow up.

Then I saw a job ad for grass roots organizers to help overturn prop 8. I'm sure the pay is crap and there are no benefits but I've got COBRA through the end of December and this is something I am extremely passionate about. Is it a crazy idea to put off the "real job" so I can do something that makes a difference while I figure out what my dream job is?

Laga, If you can afford it, and you are free of obligations that would preclude you from being happy while doing the work, I'd say go for it.

Perhaps you will find your ideal job, or at least a much better idea along the way.

beth b, that was a lot of iris. I didn't know it got that big.
