… in telecommunications and before I left to start my own company I worked in the telecommunications department of one of the biggest companies in the world.

And yet, minutes ago, I super-glued a bunch of Bounty paper towels to my fingers.

I found this picture while searching for that other picture I mentioned before. It’s graduation day at NYU. Once again, I was so proud. You can see it even in this fuzzy, old photograph. It seems like yesterday I was drawn to pictures depicting things that made proud.

I came across this picture while looking for the photograph I sent my mother from my first job after college.  It’s me in my twenties.  A typewriter!  I remember that typewriter. I was so proud. Sigh.  The olden days.  I made the poor crack because apparently I couldn’t afford book shelves. But the cigarettes, oh God the cigarettes. Camel nonfilter no less.  I quit smoking when I was 33 and I’m crossing my fingers that I quit soon enough.

I’ve been working on a film to promote my book on YouTube. It’s okay, but really, I’m not a filmmaker, so it’s just okay. I wish I knew more, had better tools, etc.

I’ve noticed some problems after the fact, but I just don’t have the energy to fix them.  I say “thousands” too many times, for instance.  Groan.  And I wanted to have music playing quietly in the background, but I couldn’t figure out how to get that to work.  If I lowered the sound so that it wasn’t distracting it was too quiet, but if I tried raising it at all it was annoying. How do they do that in movies and make it work??

I plan to do interviews, and movies of places.  I think those will work better.

This is a picture from that show about the paranormal at the Met.  I used it in the video.

I was immediately drawn to this dress although on second thought, why?  Not that it isn’t a beautiful dress.    

I just don’t think it would look good on me.

I think it’s the sleeves.

I also like the … not sure what they would be called — pleats?  The maybe-called-pleats down the front.

That bow is a mistake though.

The blue tights are a nice touch.

And they work well next to that mauve bag.

I think

we need

a close-up.

Yeah, it’s definitely the sleeves, and that bow is a mistake.

Didn’t go to the gym yet.  How can I leave with this sweetie pie all curled up with me while I fake work?
