Don't step on a crack, or you'll fall and break your back.
As promised our next installment of "How to Combat Writer's Block via Blogging about Dinosaurs" features The Land Before Time. Srsly. This movie? It totally changed my elementary school life. My more astute readers will readily recognise today's title as a quote from Ducky. I vividly recall walking home from school with my peepz and looking down at the sidewalk purposely trying to avoid the cracks. Yeah, we were totally cool back in 1988. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Moving along.
I start work on Wednesday. Or something? (Does a day of wage negotiations and getting to know the client base count?) Curious Yellow asked me to "Pray tell" as have many others. I suppose the best way to answer that is I'm going to be paid to be me. There is copious amounts of travel slated, mingling with interesting people and also corporately whore-ish ones. Listening to music and watching movies is necessary along with shopping. I will be paid to shop. Let that sink in kids. I will be PAID TO SHOP.
My homz over here sums up the general nature of what I'll be doing rather neatly "they somehow turned an hour conversation into an hour signifying nothing: a brilliant art, a legerdemain of the mouth, a slight of tongue."
I think it's going to be perfect.

So. Much. Awesome.
When can we change themes? I want to put up trailers of The Last Unicorn.
Well done!
Sounds better than being paid to be someone else.
"Listening to music and watching movies is necessary along with shopping."
Wow, what a gig! Maybe you can press to do a piece on the online Apple Store and you can "try out" and review one of the new Macbook pros (this time I'm not being facetious). Wouldn't that be a nice little starting bonus? I am so buying one before this summer is out. By the way, what do you use at the moment?
psy: I'm not the one who set the theme! I think merks and tez were the ones who arbitrarily decided it would be dinosaurs. I'm up for a bit of unicorn slaggery. My room used to be decorated with pink unicornz when I was wee.
CY: Thanks, but I found out that sometimes things can be a bit *TOO GOOD* to be true. I really shouldn't be complaining though.
Derick: I'm having flashbacks to about 4 years ago in Ohio where you took a look at my ibook and said that you'd be the proud owner of one by the end of the summer. You have subsequently mentioned imminent purchase of said notebook every single bleeding year. Your mac avowals are falling on really cynical ears but I will humour you.
I've got an older straight up Macbook the 1.84GHz one from 2006 but I still have an infinite amount of love for it. Let me know if you actually get your lying paws on one before the end of summer!
