    I'm becoming a sports widow. I'm not happy about this. T. has watched something like eight straight games of basketball today. If I see one more 7 foot behemoth take a jumpshot with two seconds left on the clock I'm going to... to... kill my television.

    I have to admit, I don't find much value in sports. Occasionally, I like to watch a game of this or that but I can't watch it constantly and I can't bring myself to really care. And, seeing how this is America I feel somewhat pressured to qualify that. But, I'm not gonna. Well, maybe later.

    The last few days have been hectic and hellish. I feel I'm being pulled in three different directions by the temp agencies I'm signed up with. Granted, it could be worse. I could be being pulled in no directions. The end result is an interview with a company that sounds like a good thing. A good starting point for me. A good break. I'm supposed to hear by Monday. Cross your fingers.

    T. and I went to see Election the other day. The great thing about being unemployed is all the matinees. It was hilarious in a dark, creepy, vengeful way. I laughed through the whole thing. I couldn't help myself. The tiny references, the truth to so much of it, the innate humor just in having Broderick be the teacher. It's the maniacal transformation of Ferris Beuller into Ed Rooney. Go see it.

    And, I really am falling asleep on my keyboard. Time for sleepy. I will try to update again soon. There's just too much going on that's not for this forum and right now I'm too tense and fretful to be light about it in public. How'd you like that Flash animation, though? For my first real thing I think it turned out okay.
