i'm a pixel here, myself

In the light of (very late) morning, things didn't look quite so bad. Thank you, all of you, for your words of encouragement and sympathy.

Part of why things didn't look so bad this morning:
* I didn't wake up until almost 9:30 (after going to bed super-early last night; damn, I was tired!)
* I had a wonderfully absurd information request in my inbox from a person who will remain nameless :)
* my RSS reader contained, among other things, [this], which not only amused me, but actually made me *grin* (Washington State people, this pertains to you)
* life is not terrible, etc. etc. yadda yadda yadda.

I have now lunched and come back to my desk to attempt doing Actual Work this afternoon. We shall see how that goes.

So, okay, I know a good number of you are Veronica Mars fans. From what I understand, it's generally a very good show, with some very pretty people. But in an upcoming *tonight's* episode ( cut for spoilers ). Misinformation in this case, as promoted by a major network, is a huge step backward.

If you want more information, see ThinkProgress [here] (I ran it through TinyURL because the title of the post contains spoilers).

The community info for rpfremix has been updated, somewhat. Go, take a look at the tentative schedule, and see if it makes sense for this whole thing. I will *definitely* be recruiting help for this, as the story due date is... two days after the show's performances start. Heh. I'm giving myself a week, therefore, to post the stories. With help from others, that should be totally doable. I'm thinking this will be a post-stories-to-the-comm thing, but it may make more sense to have a website. Downside of the website: more coding. Downside of the comm: LJ's formatting. Upside of the website: can post all at once, can make everything look perfect. Upside of the comm: tags and memories make for easy fandom differentiation. Thoughts? (And, speaking of tags, my new remix one: [the same only different]. I wanted a comma, but they use that as a differentiator, so that's a no-go.)

Applied for three more jobs at Google. A's just started there, but already has Connections, and is working them for me to the best of her ability. My friends win! Of course, having applied to Google jobs before, I highly suspect I will be ignored AGAIN, but having people on the inside poking around for me is helpful. It doesn't help that Google was named the best place to work in the country; that means they get just that many more applications. But they ARE growing at an insane rate, so.

There are Conversation Hearts in the kitchen. This does not bode well for my waistline, but YUM.
