helpful reminder

kelly | July 31, 2005

i think this post by gabe on PA, where he makes observations about life after 60 on WOW does a really good job of elaborating on the boredom/ennui that hits on higher levels of these games.
it also reminded me that i really don’t want to get involved in another one.
thanks, gabe

“We just got word from **** that the requirements definition
on the project has changed and they are no longer in need of a
developer”
i was expecting a “not interested” response anyway, since it’s been a month since the interview, but still. lame.
i’m bummed.

green is the new purple

kelly | July 26, 2005

if you asked me what my favorite color i’d say purple, without even thinking.
but as i sit here, writing on my green blog, in my green shirt, listening to my green ipod that i pulled from my green messenger bag, i’m thinking maybe it’s green.

kate the goddess

kelly | July 25, 2005

someone once asked me to tell them about my friend kate and i simply said, “she is a goddess.” i then went on and tried to do her justice and to explain why i said that, but it didn’t really impress. then he met her and agreed. she is a goddess.
she came [...]

the island

kelly | July 24, 2005

it’s better than you might think, but like most action flicks requires a hearty helping of suspension of disbelief. also, they made this scene just for me.
and it made me very, very happy.

congrats!

mc and joe welcomed their daughter into the world earlier today. third parties report that she ultimately weighed in at a very hearty 10lbs, 10oz and 23 inches and that mamma, pappa, and baby girl are all doing great.
in related news, i’ll be dining with a very pregnant woman and 3 children all under the [...]

yeesh

kelly | July 20, 2005

my favorite co-worker is giving notice in the next 48 hours. on the one hand, i’m very happy for him, on the other, i’m really, really unhappy. i’d never been used as a reference before this, so i’m glad i didn’t break his opportunity by saying the wrong things.
i very selfishly wish he’d [...]

quasi spoilers

kelly | July 19, 2005

in the comments of this post lie vague references to harry potter and the half-blood prince. minor talking around the plot, but no specific names or anything. much more emotional response-y.

so that crossroads…
k. not so much a crossroads, as a fundamental potential redefinition [...]

dead muse

kelly | July 19, 2005

apparently, my muse is also reading harry potter. i haven’t been able to write a thing since finishing the book. i keep looking for pictures inside my head to write down, but it’s a huge blank. i’ve gone through older outlines and half-started story attempts in the hopes that something will get triggered, [...]

crazy weekend

kelly | July 17, 2005

so many things happened in the last few days that deserve their own essay-length posts.
we picked up will and gina from the airport so late on thursday that it was actually friday morning.
friday afternoon was spent socializing, hanging up flags in a hall for saturday’s party, and visiting the soon-to-be spectacular workspace for a company [...]
