It's Not Exactly Denial, But...

When I sent mail to my family about our impending move, with the congratulations came two mentions that 14 days was a really short time between jobs. I giggled and aswered that I haven't taken 14 days off consecutively in eight years or so. I have been really enjoying doing nearly nothing. We staged the house a little, which means some ordering and culling of posessions -- textiletart is getting a ton of technical books for her library -- and touch-ups on the paint. I go to the gym. I see some people. I sleep. I go through some relocation forms. I sleep.

And try to stop myself from taking it all too seriously lest I forget that I am actually ready for this.

I fly Friday at 6.35 PM, land at 9.30. Temporary housing has been arranged, as has the rental car. Since the package falls under benefits I cannot discuss it too much, but let's just say the company has its act together.

I am sorry; I am Dutch and lived in Amsterdam. We Do Not Gawk At Celebrities.

I thought it was a federal mandate to strip and cold-store your dignity at the border. What's up with the immigration policy nowadays? Jeez.

At the very least go "LINDSAYYYYYY!!! WHOOOOOO!!!!!" if you see her.

I didn't realize that "not gawking" was limited to the Dutch or those who've lived in Amsterdam. Even some born-and-raised-in-America people are trivially able to Not Gawk at celebrities.

The easiest implementation of this is to not recognize them in the first place. I might be doing that, but how would I know?

I just looked up this Lindsay Lohan person.

She is so overproduced-bland, I don't think I could recognize her if I did meet her on the street.

But she's America's Cokehead Next Top Babe Sweetheart. She is the creamy stupid center of Planet Hott.

I'm going to miss you! I hope you have a wonderful life in Los Angeles. I loved living there.
