Merry Whatever!

So it’s my first day off in several weeks and I find I’m actually kind of bored. It sounds like Jeanne is up to visitors, though, so that’ll get me out of the house. So will the South Valley holiday service tonight.
The internet connection to my computer is broken, so I have to log in [...]

Well, that’s the fourth time in as many days that one of my friends has suggested that what I really need is a boyfriend.

Happy Winter Solstice! (a.k.a. Yule)
So, many things to report and discuss (some of which will have to wait until it’s “legal” to comment on them). Things have been truckin’ along at Bob’s Event and I’m feeling really positive about it. Next week threatens to be a bitch, though, because the graphic design firm we work [...]

A Job Done, Mostly Well.

Saturday, December 17th, 2005

Look! The printed version of the Film Guide came back from Tooele today, too. If anyone wants the inside skinny on any flicks, let me know.
My team, incuding Nick, were really amazing and we only found a few minor errors. We caught a mispelling of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s last name at the last minute (forgive us, [...]
