When someone kind of important at work friendsters you on LinkedIn, and you're like, "OMG, you know who I am? Or did you just send invites to EVERYONE from work? Can I say hi to you in the hall now?"

I was feeling a little bummed out today, but then I was flipping through some books and wouldn't you know it, Carl Jung knows exactly how to cheer me up. From the introduction to Symbols of Transformation:

Today I punched a Muni bus so hard my hand swelled up. It's currently iced and elevated, and I'm typing like a one-handed stroke victim.

Until this month, our phone was on the Lifeline program -- intended for the very poor, but we were able to take advantage because of how the Academy of Art paid me (or, more accurately, didn't).

Thirty dollars for slow DSL, and another thirty just for a dial tone? Seriously?

All Orkut seems to be good for is getting spam from Brazilians -- or so I thought until this gem arrived today in my "scrapbook," whatever the hell that is:
