Daily affirmations of a word mercenary
Let’s muse upon all the different layers of weirdness of going out to a restaurant to eat a $10 dish called “TV Dinner,” which is 100% vegan, and very good — but looks like your classic frozen meatloaf, mashed pototatoes, and veggies. Does that make sense? Regardless, it tasted great.

Today I took the first step toward securing a monthly telecommuting freelance gig that would pay my rent (and then some).
Today I went to my second African dance class.
Today I drove for 2.5 hours, travelling a grand total of perhaps 15 miles.

Boy, I’m so happy
We have been heaven blessed

Ok, I’ve made friends with my AT&T Wireless service, but for all the wrong reasons. First, I’m in love with my new Mashimaro cell phone face plate. Do you know who Mashimaro is? Neither did I, but I really liked the fact that I could purchase a face plate that featured a grumpy rabbit sitting [...]
