Now--Part Two

Alright I had a great post I just wrote, I saved it and Typepad said it was saved. I opened another browser and it wasn't there, so I saved again and it worked fine, so where the hell did it go? How the hell am I supposed to recapture the tone and wit of that first post, especially at this time of night?

And why did this one work? Grrrr.

Anyway, I did really well at my post-doc interview today. I answered all the questions well. I spoke slowly and clearly. I was there for an hour and most of the time was met with nods of approval. One of the Principle Investigators read and liked my dissertation. So it's all great. Now I just have to wait--I'm told I'll know tomorrow. Oddly, I keep thinking of an episode of The Simpsons where Homer wants a handgun and is told there's a three day waiting list: "Aaaaaahhhh, but I'm angry NOW." I say: "Waaaaah! I gotta know already!"

In my first post this evening I mention the non-knitting that's happening: Devan's still on the blocking board, my Onde tank has languished in the knitting bag since we returned from vacation. And I'm apparently sensitive to pink alpaca but not blue. Could be an allergy to the dye, repetitive strain from too much typing and knitting, me sleeping on my hands funny or some other weirdness that can't be explained by science and logic.

So since I don't have much to say, here's some links to some good anti-bush satire sites. The first one is even knit-related, while the last two are my favs--I like some sacrilege with my politics.

This Land is My Land is HILARIOUS, no matter *what* side you're on. If you ask me, it jabs Kerry as much as Bush. So funny. I personally don't like either of them.

My thoughts exactly. That has happened to me also and I'd like to know where the hell it goes!!! Then you have to think about everything you said all over again. I HATE that!
