Jan 9 03: panic and hedonism
Well, now I really really need a job. With no Games to focus on rather than considering the material world, I’m now realizing how close to the bone I am coming. Scary. But! The never-ending e-commerce project has grown by leaps and bounds of late, and may even be about to let fall a check; and I dropped off a resume with…well, I won’t jinx it, but with a potential source of intensely cool freelance writing work (okay, it’s the AMNH’s education dept…cross your fingers); and heck, even Clever Island has come knocking.
But while I wait for those things to bear fruit, I might as well go drinking with near-strangers. Those crazy Dopers were back in town this weekend. The Dopers being the denizens of the Straight Dope Message Board, and beyond saying that they frequent the message board affiliated with the Straight Dope, you’ll have to do some research for yourself to understand. First weekend in January is the annual NYCDopeFest, which puts a highly eclectic bunch from around the world into a major metropolitan area and shakes well. Dinners, museums, long discussions, hijinks, beer. What’s not to like?

The gallery is now open. It still takes longer than I’d like to get the pictures prepped, because iPhoto exports its jpgs at such lush quality that I have to dial them down using something else until they’re small enough to transmit. But that being said I’m excited at how it’s turning out. There are no photos of the DopeFest, for reasons best left undiscussed.There are two albums in there so far; the one with top billing is a thank-you of sorts. The stars thereof are still in the exact same condition they were on the day they were purchased, which was more than a year ago. I keep them on my desk in the event that I feel like adding to the project.
