oops!
I am wasting - wasting, I tell you - fifty cents to dial out from my hotel again just to note that my last two entries were chronologically reversed. I posted them in the right order, but I suppose "postmistress" got there first.
For those wondering, it is my 56K modem outlet that is screwed up; I don't use ethernet (tho I might configure this machine to use the hotel's ethernet, if I can figure out HOW). Right now I am getting online by jamming the cord into the computer and holding it there with my version of brute force, which is more like, um, china-doll force, since there is little "brute" in me. But it doesn't last long and I can't do it often, which is why I have been writing posts offline and posting a few at a time every couple of days. After I find a place, and have unpacked my computer stuff and can burn a cd from this computer, this one will go in for repair, but I can't do without it until then.
I'm going to go read Baudolino or Quicksilver until I fall asleep.
Keep your fingers crossed for me to find a nice house to rent before the end of the week!
Also - insult to injury, (save)Karyn has a BOOK out. (Damn it, I'm a writer and I'm in debt. Donnez-moi un bookdeal, s'il vous plait.)
Finally - forgot to mention today's trip to Petsmart! Did not get "Husher muzzle" we wanted (which is this elastic mouthpiece that makes it physically tiring for a dog to bark), but did get the fabulous Buster Puzzle Cube (kind of like an uberKong), and SPRAYABLE LIVER-FLAVORED GOO (like CheezWhiz!) that's actually put out by Kong!!! It's true! Buying weird crap for my dog is one of the joys in my life.
