Hi there, blog reader.
Wordpress is a good little spam catcher. I actually love scanning spam before it gets deleted, as it often has a sublimely random, non-sequitor quality to it. (Is that how you spell non-sequitor? Don’t feel like checking). I got spammed in Cyrillic today. The commie Ruskies are after my blog. You can pry it from my cold dead hands, Comrades. Das ve danya, biotches.
I’m back in LA. Have a data colloquium, post-doc interview and faculty position interview tomorrow. So there will be long stretches of time tomorrow wherein I shall feel relaxed and as though I were back on a hawaiian vacation. Or, I’m gonna end the day wondering, even more than I do now, why I scheduled all this in one day. Did I mention I have to drive to Pasadena and Fullerton? I never overdo things.
I can’t find some of my shoes. I’ve packed and unpacked 3 times in the last 2 weeks and I can’t find a bunch of stuff, particularly a bunch of shoes. I don’t know what you’re supposed to do about it. Just read this, and feel sorry for me I guess.
Gotta get ready for tomorrow morning.

I got a lot of porn spam on my site so be glad it gets caught. I also had a pretty random one: hundreds of links to various leather products. Anyone want a “leather log holder”, “leather crotch high boots”, or “leather puerto rico flag jacket”?

crotch-high boots, you say?

Did interview at Hope. I’m probably gonna accept a clinical post-doc, probably in the SD area, so I can’t take a position with them (which they aren’t 100% sure they’re actually offering), but nice to meet with the folks and talk about coming and teaching part-time some day, which is what I’d really like to do.
And yes, maybe the commies took my shoes. The lines at the Government Shoe and Cheese Shop are probably out the door and anyway, two old babushkas are probably wrestling over the last pair of newspaper/rag sandals.
I love Crotch-High Boots — they’re playing Acoustic Christmas this year.

Did you interview at Rancho too? What’s the SD job?

I put your shoes on top of the fireplace, next to the cuckoo cuckoo clock.

Nathan: I did interview at Rancho–will tell you about that Wed. on the blog, but maybe I’ll see you before.
Lindsay: What?

Since we’re not telling the name I’ve joked that the baby’s name is “Skip” or “Skippy.” I also like Ace. None of these are the actual name of course, but people can have fun calling the baby those nicknames until it’s revealed.

Judy-thanks. Problem fixed. I was writing from your computer, so it put the comment as being from you. I also erased your comment as it contained reference to my super-secret identity. Haha. My secret identity is my real identity. It’s like I don’t want anyone to know I’m Clark Kent.

OK, Clark. . . I mean Superman. I’ll be more careful in the future. As for your shoes, I think we should ask Art (Raymond’s surfer buddy and protector of the keys) where they are.
