I just got back

Posted by jackie blue on April 30th, 2002

I just got back from a job interview for an actual full time job (yes, I guess there are one or two left in this city) and I’m not sure of the outcome, but I’d be really happy right now if I can just get some more freelance work. So if anyone knows anyone who needs design work…

I’m looking VERY forward to Stitch n Bitch tonight, it’s the most work I get done on these projects at any one sitting and the socializing is fun as well. I hope to get this sweater done in the next week or two so I can wear it while it’s still cool enough and I can move onto to something else! That’s ADD for you, I have to have a new thing to do every 5 minutes.

I’m working on getting more links up here (Marney is emailing them in droves) but I haven’t had enough time to go through them yet. I’m also working on getting Comments up, since YACCS is no longer accepting new users (damn them) I have to do some CGI scripting and I’m waiting for my ISP to do some configuration on my server directory. My ISP is actually a friend, so I might have to bug her some more.

Many thanks to my friend Marney, who is helping me find some cool links to build up this page. I’m working at a newspaper today (my Monday gig) and don’t have a lot of time to post and update, but every little bit counts. Marney is new to to the knitting addiction, having learned when she was a small child but not picking it up again till a visit to my place about 4 months ago. Since then, she’s made about a thousand things, leaving me in her dust. She’ll probably make some guest appearances here soon.

Back later, I promise!

As a former employee of The Mouse, I’m not sure if this fascinates me, or horrifies me, or both. Tempted to bid.

It’s a bleak and very rainy day so my usual weekend Central Park walk with my friends has been cancelled. Along with that goes brunch, so now I have to think of what to eat. But it’s a great day for staying in and knitting, which I plan to do. I need to find some mindless movie on TV and get going with the front of this mohair sweater. Time is not waiting for me.

Last night I saw “Into the Woods” on Broadway (second row, which awarded me a lot of detail) and I knew I was an addict when I paid great attention to the crocheted shawl on Little Red Riding Hood’s grandmother.

Speaking of crocheting, look what my mother made for me. It’s out of Rowan 4 ply cotton, and will be great for the beach. If only I can find myself a strapping young stud as this girl in the picture has.
