day off!

With apologies to Brad Delong, I'll stop referring to this administration as 'Orwellian' when they stop using '1984' as an operations manual. (see also dglenn, here.)

To balance that out, there's Cute Overload ;), which is exactly what it sounds like only with more OMG and *squee* involved.

Yesterday was rather pleasant. Thanks to the ice on the roads rendering Sage Lane nigh-undriveable*, I got a day Off. Sat around and vegged, read some of Zilpha Keatley Snyder's Green-Sky trilogy (Below the Root, And All Between, Until the Celebration; YA sci-fi books that I adored in about the sixth grade and are still pretty neat), played Runebound with J. and Maureen. Ran almost entirely out of food (I think I still have a handful of goldfish, a pack of pop-tarts for breakfast, and some peanut butter. Oh, and a Cadbury egg), so a big thankyou to Maureen for feeding me dinner.

Applied for an associate developer position at Fantasy Flight Games. I've got roughly no experience designing games so the chances of my getting the job are slightly less than those of a Certain Individual at work behaving like a human being. Still, it felt good to apply. Made me realise that yeah, I can do this whole jobsearch thing if I have to, I can write coverletters and tweak my resume for each individual opening.

for some reason, i was never able to find the third book in that trilogy, just the first two. i had the same problem with phyllis reynolds naylor's york trilogy - i found shadows on the wall and faces in the water but could never find footprints at the window. it's a neat YA series - dan's dad has huntington's disease, and dan keeps seeing people from the decline of the roman empire in york, and isn't quite sure if he's showing dementia symptoms because *he* has huntington's too, or if something truly weird is going on.

re: cute overload - do dormouse ever uncurl? i had no idea that sugar gliders were that cute. also, dog covered in chicks!

oh, and snopes says dogs and squirrels are friends. well, sometimes.

You too? I've had the first two for, oh, years now. I finally got fed up with it a couple weeks ago and ordered the third one used off of Amazon. (It's actually in better shape than the second. Go figure.)

The York trilogy sounds rather interesting. Will have to look into.
