GeeCee's Not-Entirely-Original Miscellany

Today is Setting Orange, day 11 in the season of Bureaucracy, 3271.

Seen in today's email subject lines:
[fairfaxfreecycle] OFFER: S & M Turtlenecks

*blink* I'm sure it means something that my first thought was "some weird variety of posture collar?" rather than "turtlenecks in sizes small and medium". No, I wouldn't have been able to resist using that subject line either if it had been me.


Signed first editions of Anansi Boys are available for pre-order at Powells.


Ack, I leave in less than two days! See geekchick run around like a chicken with its head cut off. Stuff I gotta get done:

• Laundry
  
• Sorting out what to take and what not to take, and packing it all. Lucky for me that I checked the weather forecast, because Taos will be in the mid-40s at night.
  
• Reload the iPod.
  
• Leave a rent check or cash, so I make sure to have that set aside for when I get back.
  
• Email a list of imps I have at home that can be traded.
  
• Remember to print out rental car reservation confirmation, hotel reservation confirmations, eticket confirmation, Fringe Festival tickets.
  
• Bitch loudly because the one festival act I really had my heart set on seeing, Melinda Dickson, has been rescheduled from Sunday night to the Thursday before and the Friday after I'll be in the area.
  
• Check on status of net access for Monday night so I can check in on something for work. Excellent, free wireless in all rooms in the hotel.
  
• Finish up eight different small projects at work between now and Friday at 5 PM, leave notes about how to handle possible editorial issues that might come up next week.
  
• Remember that my flight is at 9:40 AM, not 10:30 like I thought it was. Oops.
  

Okay. Break time's over, back on my head.
