Today's Motley Updates
- My job search news: I have an interview on Friday for a part-time job at a non-profit in Oakland that does educational research. It meets most of my criteria, so I hope it goes well.
- Other peoples' job search news: Huge congrats to JF who landed an entry-level, full-time-with-benefits job in her field! Way to go! There may be hope for the rest of us.
- Ice cream: Yesterday after lunch I was treated to ice cream at my suggestion (and since the Baskin Robbins was on the way back to work anyway). I had a single scoop of Mocha Almond Fudge in a sugar cone, which I haven't had in ages. I wasn't sure they even still had that flavor. It was good. However, I observed as I tried to eat my cone while walking back to work that either the server didn't firmly lodge the ice cream in the cone or my tongue is much stronger now than it was when I ate ice cream cones more regularly, since the scoop had a tendency to be pushed off the cone. In fact, disaster was narrowly averted twice when the scoop tried to jump off altogether, but I reflexively caught it with my other hand and smacked it back on the cone. My had was messy, but I washed it when I got back to work, and I by George I ate my whole scoop. Lots of almonds. Yummy.
- GG 5K plans: I will be playing in the band at an international sporting event in July and I think I have decided to participate in the 5K race as well, to give myself a fitness goal. The nice thing is that runner's world magazine online has some 6- and 8-week 5K training plans for beginners. I have also figured out how to fit the runs into my schedule (more on that later)

- Billy bait: Started watching the movie version o f"Rent" on DVD last night. SOme surprising changes in the order of songs, but overall I can't say I have any major qualms. I think the material's being handled well and I know all the songs by heart, so it was fun. WIll probably watch the rest tomorrow night. Am leaning to agreeing with Roger Ebert's review.
