storming... again

it’s storming outside, again. there’s something spectacular about a storm in the city. the already bright lights – building, street lights, businesses – are illuminated by the lightning, dangerous but beautiful in its own way. the thunder vibrates the windows like a gentle massage to the old, massive buildings.

the rain, sweet in smell, washes away the dirt and grime left behind by us careless humans. it’s wonderful.

i finally got my resume off. at one point, it’s almost embarassing to say to whom – or for what, really – but on the other hand i’m really excited.

it’s for mosquito magnet! ever heard of it? haha. i hadn’t either but an advertising agency out of rhode island, which is also where the company is located, I’ve learned, is seeking people for a new promotional campaign. according to the ad, applicants must send head shots and a resume. if nothing else, at least they have my picture: if no mosquito magnet, maybe they’ll have some other opportunities.

anyway, it’s a new promotional campaign where, to the best of my knowledge, i would travel the nation in a hummer promoting this new product. I’m not certain if it’s going to be to fairs and farm shows or to home improvement stores or what. but, it offers a generous wage, commission and meal stipends. we’ll see what happens. zzzzzzzzzz.

in other news... I’ll be heading back to work Sunday after having two weeks off. i was actually supposed to work last weekend, actually, but was in the bed for two days with a tooth ache. a terrible tooth ache.

jennifer and miss rhonda came to see me the other day! that was nice. we went to eat at eintstein’s after their having come by to see my new loft. jennifer said that the living room looked like a mexican restaurant in thomasville. thanks. first kassy said it looked like the crayola room. guess i did well. haha.

actually, to defend myself... it’s tennis-court green, antique red and saphron. kind of a tennis theme: the court, a clay court and the ball. once i get the awesome art piece on the wall, it will all come together.

my bedroom still is unfinished. all my stuff is in it but i have half a wall and the enormous column to paint and need to finish trimming out the last two walls. i haven’t even started on the bathroom and kitchen. those can wait.
