9. Won't be going straight home
probably will go get a drink at my fave watering hole. One of the bartenders is going to Minnesota for three weeks so I want to say goodbye.

5. Dishes tend to do that...
there have been a few times when I have caught my dishes in the act of plotting against me. They scurried away as soon as I entered the kitchen. Good luck!

6. I'm bored. AND single! But I'm working on my new business card design.
So it's something to do.

7. Hrmm... now what kind of business would HypnoToad be in?
:think: Cat washing?

:think: Professional back scratching?

:think: Gum scraping?

;) Kidding. Good luck... and hey, don't worry about being single. Relish it while you can. Trust me. :)

No pun intended...


and my business? Photography, web design, PC repair, male prostitute. I'm quite versatile (I'm bad at everything!). :spray:

I easily can see all those skills combined. Might appeal to a unique market, you know? :D

21. Only nude photos... and web or graphics work on weekends...
Otherwise I'm fully clothed. :rofl:

Any market I can appeal to; I'll be there.

Except the mass market. I'm a niche guy, but if I am the type that everybody wants, I'll sell. (my work, that is. My body is for one person only.)

26. When you're in a desert, freedom ain't so nice...
There's a lot of mirages, but no water. And you are the proverbial flower, wilting away.


Oh gack, now I sound poetic! And that's an adumbration made from a derivative of a work somebody wrote for a TV show 40 years ago! :wow: (that's why I never went into creative writing... I'm hardly original. Unless it's comedic, but then I learned from the great masters: Woody Allen and Paul Lynde...)

28. Ah... but when you are in a field of many flowers...
freedom becomes vital. You want to polinate a few choice daisies, yet can't reach them. And you are the humble bee, trapped in a spider's web.

15. I'm a'ight!
At least, considering that I'm still at work, and will be for another 2 hours. x(

And I have to go introduce myself to a room full of 1st year law students in about 30 minutes.

And I'm spending the intervening time working on syllabi and calendars.

On second thought, maybe I'm not so alright. Hmm.

31. I am!
I'm teaching first year legal research. Actually, I just got back from meeting my class. I still can't get used to calling myself (or hearing someone else call me) "Professor". So weird.

But yeah, it's my first teaching gig and it's a law school. Talk about trial by fire!

32. Well... what did you think about teaching?
I've never taught before. I am simply neurotic about the idea, especially a lecture-style class. I'm going for my PhD next year (I hope) so let's see how this works :(

35. Well...
I haven't actually taught anything yet. My class doesn't start until October. So far I've just met them, which has generally gone fine.

I'm freaked as hell about actually teaching...but I'm looking forward to it as well. I guess I know that once I get over the initial "OmgWTFAmIDoingIDon'tKnowWhatI'mTalkingAboutAndTheyCanTotallySeeRightThroughMe" feeling, I'll be fine. In other words, I'm sure I'll really enjoy my job by NEXT October. :P

Good luck on the PhD. What subject?

22. I've been better......
.... my wife had major surgery today (open heart) and is in intensive care. She doesn't tolerate opiates well and that is all they have for severe pain. She is in pain, and neausated, and miserable, and there is not a damn thing I can do about it. I'm not happy.

Sorry, but you asked. :(

And for Mrs. Sendero, as well! It sounds like it's a little rough now, but did the surgery itself go well, at least?

27. Yes...
... I have no doubt there will be a full recovery. It's just that the love of my life has to be miserable for 3 more days on the way.

I don't mean to whine, but waiting for the surgeon to come out and tell you it's done and she's in recovery is bad enough. To have to see your wife in such misery is really tough. I'm a mess right now, but like her, I'll get better and this will all be behind us soon. :)

38. Ugh. I'm so sorry!
My body has undergone a state of shock. Got some very strange news last week that completely turned my life upside down. I've lost about 5-7 lbs. because it's been hard to eat. I also contracted Mr. Writer's annoying little cold so I'm somewhat bedbound at the moment. He's better, in front of his computer playing Star Wars. I'm sitting in bed doing research and typing to you! :)

I'm sorry about the job... at least you had the compliment of multiple interviews. :)

37. Since you asked--I could use a hug...
...or a smile, or just some affection and/or encouragement...just a little tired of the world. Feeling almost like a film noir character right now, weird as that sounds...like I'm alone in a great machine of civilization surrounding me, slowly feeding me into its yaw...either that, or it's something I ate...

Life has been surreal for me lately, too. I hope it gets better for you. :) Take care!

42. I'm good
and it's good to see you in good spirits. I just spent about 45 minutes walking up and down my driveway singing Shakira at the top of my lungs. In Spanish, and I don't speak Spanish, lol. I think my cats thought I was going crazy.

48. this was pre-bleach
Ojos Asi was pre-bleach. The bleach happened with Laundry Service. Thank God she's toned it down a bit with Fijacion Oral.
Here is the Ojos Asi video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3b4U-cnIBvM I guess I like the Sandy blond in La Tortura better than the brassy yellow of Laundry Service, and I really don't care for the burgundy but every girl has to have her hair that color at least once...
