Gouda's Cheesewheel

"Denny's with Lee" night

This picture was supposed to show up here awhile ago (right around Thanksgiving) and wouldn't. Oh well, here it is. Don't ask.

New prospects

So I finally have something to write about besides suburbia and my pets. "Thank goodness," you all say.

I recently applied for a staff position with Copirg, and then thought better of it once I made it to the "second interview." This was actually a 6-hour series of group exercises and evaluations. Not fun, nor rewarding. If that's what the job would have been like every day, I'm rather glad I didn't get hired. It takes a special kind of person to work for that organization, and I don't think I was it.

On a tip from my cousin Toby, I'm now applying for a part-time library job. If that pans out I think it would be a nice development. I need something worth doing, but not too involved just now. I know I can do library work. I did it for 4 years.

In other news, I'm seeing someone new. It's been fun. He's got a nice sense of humor and he can dance, and we have many silly conversations, and I'm sure I could go on and on but I don't see the need. He makes me happy, and that's all I really needed to get across.

More to say later, I hope.

Beautiful Day by U2

The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town

You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere

You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace

It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination

You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out

It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day

Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day
