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.
