I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Sorry, went to bed last night. I'm going in mid-July. I realize, that in addition to my other excuses, I can call it a belated 40th birthday gift.

Iceland! How much daylight are you getting?

Have a great time in London, Zen.

I am excited for all you Hamilton folk, not that I have any desire to go, but my trip to London has really fired my desire to see more live theatre. Would love to see the revival of the Crucible in the Spring, and the director who did the amazing Oresteia that I saw (and Consuela) last fall is now doing Uncle Vanya. (And Lady Sybil is in this one too.) I'd kill to see that.

Sigh. I need to be a lady of leisure.

it was pouring rain, then it was sleeting on our side of the street and raining on the other, then we turned a corner and it was snowing! This place is nuts!

What are you doing in Utah? (I say as I delay going out in yet another snow storm during the morning commute)

Coding and Sleeping

As I'm getting ready to put my book Cog out there, I'm revamping my website. I'm going WordPress even though it's not just going to be a blog because WordPress is awesome and I'm used to it.

After checking out a few themes (and dismissing many, many more) I have a couple I kinda like that are also phone friendly.

Look Number 1

Look Number 2

What do y'all think?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think I like the second one better. I don't have much of a critical eye for website design, though.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Look Number 2.

In other news, an arrest warrant has been issued for Bill Cosby.

Because books.

I like the second one better, too. They're both striking, though.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Look 2 is easier to read on my phone, FYI.

Hamilton tix! I have to see if I know anyone working on the show in Chicago in hopes of some preview comps.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

HAMILTON TIX!!!! I would probably faint if I saw Hamilton.

I like the second one, Gud.

I am about to explodiate with rage at work for a very simple thing. I have been asked to prepare incomplete contracts for a few students on behalf of the professor. The professor is not in town. The students are not in town. The form is a locked pdf which does not allow me to a) send for real electronic signature b) insert a jpg of the person's signature (which is what people at my work call an electronic signature) or c) TYPE IN WHAT THE STUDENT NEED TO DO TO MEET THE TERMS OF THE CONTRACT!!!

So, I have to prepare these by a) filling in the student's name and contact information on the form b) printing c) handwriting the work the student needs to do d) printing the jpg of the professors signature and shrinking it on the copier and e) GLUEING THE SIGNATURE TO THE FORM so I can scan and email to the student!!!!!

Praise all gods, they've actually salted the hill up to my office! It's like someone in the roads department actually took notice that there was a death trap in their jurisdiction. The fact that there was a wreck yesterday that clogged up a major intersection may have made a difference. They probably don't want stranded semis blocking traffic again, either. And the sun is kind of out.

It's wonderful how uplifting sunlight and not risking your life to get to work are.
