May Day, May Day

Sorry for the late notice. I've been busy. This is your official reminder that Jason Webley lives again, Friday, April 30, 8 pm, at Town Hall. Ticket Info. ($9, no fees, advance tickets still available through Paypal, or pay at the door if there are any left.)

In other news:

• I'm temping a massive multi-user phone system this week (the marketing department of A Major HMO),
• I bought a small chest freezer (A Major Appliance, thus adding another rock-solid Grump point),
• I will be in Clarkston this weekend through Tuesday (hometown gang take note!)
• I start a twelve-week contract with Children's Hospital next week, which will keep me in rent for a goodly long time,
• Ask me to geek out about the new 7th Sea game I'm in! (I'm reprising my Fate Witch from two years ago... And she's all pratchetty...)
• and the Universe, upon my general request to the airwaves, delivered a piece of computer furniture to my front doorstep.

To underscore the giving nature of the Universe right now, on Sunday I was walking with a friend from high school (now in the Navy) when we found a man putting an entire set of nice apartment-quality dining room furniture, including a glass-top table, out on the sidewalk a block from my house. And a computer chair. Thanks to Steve-who-is-in-the-Navy, I could haul it all home.

The computer furniture I asked for was sitting on the lawn of my apartment building. I had decided to spend a little time gawking in the bead store on my way home, which put me at the lawn at exactly the same time my housemate walked up. I had noticed the chair I didn't want, but no other pieces of furniture.

plantae said, "Is that the computer furniture you ordered?" I looked. It's exactly the right size for the computer area in my room, and matches the woodgrain of my bed and shelves. Yep, must be the one I ordered. We hauled it in.

I really really like it when I go with the grain of the Universe. It takes care of me, when I let it.
