    The West Wing #1.05:

    I understand that today was another one of Leo's 'big block of cheese' days! You all start out so cynical, but it never fails. By the end of the day, there's always one or two converts, right? And today was no exception. C.J. Cregg is gonna be up all night writing a position paper for the Interior department on the necessity of wildlife protection. C.J., I don't mind the cost of this wolves-only highway. It's the segregation. The ACLU is gonna file a petition on behalf of some reindeer and then we're all screwed! Sam Seaborn had a guy who spotted a UFO today, am I right? Sam laughed him out of his office, but you've been thinking about it ever since. But you can rest assured, Sam. It was not a spaceship from another planet, just another time. A long since abandoned Soviet satellite, one of its booster rockets didn't fire and it couldn't escape the earth's orbit. A sad reminder of a time when two powerful nations challenged each other and then boldly raced into outer space. What will be the next thing that challenges us, Toby? That makes us work harder and go farther? You know, when smallpox was eradicated, it was considered the single greatest humanitarian achievement of this century. Surely, we can do it again. As we did in the time when our eyes looked towards the heavens, and with outstretched fingers, we touched the face of God. Here's to absent friends, and the ones that are here now.

    The West Wing #1.05: "The Crackpots and These Women," written by Aaron Sorkin.

Knight Commander: Chapter Twelve

Posted by jetblack on October 17th, 2005

So, Chapter Twelve is done! I start working on Chapter Thirteen tomorrow and I’m excited at how quickly the writing is coming. I think I might actually meet my weekend goal of completing this novel and beginning character sketches and prep work for NaNoWriMo next month.

Weird, Part III

Posted by jetblack on October 17th, 2005

Okay, just got a /fourth/ call about a job… not the same one, this one is in San Rafael. Wow. Did my resume get posted somewhere all of a sudden and I didn’t know about it or what?

I just got a third call, but this is for a position in Mountain View… oh, and yes, I got called by two firms for the same job in Oakland. Yay.

Weird…

Posted by jetblack on October 17th, 2005

I got two calls about jobs in Oakland.. and they sound eerily similiar. I wonder if someone’s got two contract agencies shopping the same gig and both got my resume… :/ I hope it’s not the same, but the details are just too dead-on to be different, but then again, it wouldn’t be the first time I thought that and was proven wrong.
