In the store here at work they sell sunflower seeds. But not the kind I expect to buy (roasted and salted out of the shell). They sell the in-the-shell kind. Okay, we’re in an office building, not a dugout. I can’t just spit all these shells on the floor. Actually yesterday I noticed that they finally got the “good” kind on the shelf. Whew. Crisis averted.

[added later] Ooh, hey, if you accidently drop some on the floor you may as well be in a dugout.

I just wrote a giant entry to put in the main Dump and accidently posted it here. Yes, that’s right, I’m updating the dump.

I’m considering taking my NaNoWriMo novel from last November and turning it into a screenplay for the new Project Greenlight. The plot of the novel screamed screenplay anyway. If I was going to be working for the next few weeks, I’d pick up a copy of Movie Magic Screenwriter 2000 but facing only 5 more days of employment makes me hang on a bit tighter to my cash. You know, for the little stuff. Like the 400 pounds of bananas I’m forced to buy Junior each week.

Because the bossman here said he thinks he’ll be calling me back in 6-8 weeks I may try to just find a parttime job to combine with unemployment. Well, obviously I’ll still try to get contracts via BirchBark, or, heaven forbid, a full-time position. But I wouldn’t mind coming back here for another contract.

Yesterday’s Lunch lasted well into last night.

And I invented a new phrase today. “Mental Meatball” Please use it often.

I should sent this over to “In Passing” (see link on the right) but I didn’t hear it in San Francisco so it probably doesn’t count.

While waiting in line for my beef and shitake mushroom lo mein (which was gross, by the way. Maybe get some meat that humans can chew, wouldja?) a woman looked at the sign to see what they were serving at that station and said “Shit-take mushrooms? Shit take? What’s that?”

I should have said “Two steps down from a spit take.”
