We&#8217;re still being late to everything because of the trouble we have dragging our bodies from one another. I should have left the house already, but the chance at internet is too good to pass up. My evening house, my fairy-tale, it has a computer but no connection. I am cut off when the sun sets. I am directionless, trapped in warmth and white sheets, unable to find purchase in the ether. My fingers tap away on count-tops and tables, asking for information, trying to morse code the air itself. Late at night, I look down into my unemployment and try to wonder what&#8217;s going to happen.<\/p>\n<p>I never heard back from the people who asked me to be their company blogger, Telus didn&#8217;t hire me, though the interview seemed almost perfunctory, but I have extra work again on Monday, a paid focus group on Tuesday evening, and a freelance odd-job coming from RipTown Media. The longest I&#8217;ve been without gainful employment, but somehow I&#8217;m keeping it all together. The utility companies are going to threaten me again soon, but I&#8217;m hoping that I can cover that by taking Robin out and about the town for a little Social Therapy. <\/p>\n<p>To the people who bought mp3&#8217;s off me. Yes, they are coming, and I am most dreadfully sorry it has been taking this long. My microphone died, leaving me with little equipment options. I have been using my mother&#8217;s home-studio, but it&#8217;s all the way across town, which can be literally hours away by bus, and I&#8217;ve been scrabbling so much that I haven&#8217;t had a day to devote. (Some of the work has been finished, but I thought it would only be fair that everyone have to wait together. <i>Think &#8216;according to the principles of Mercerism.&#8217;<\/i>). I&#8217;m planning on going over to her house early Wednesday and not leaving until everything is finished or the busses stop running, whichever comes first. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.yahoo.com\/s\/nm\/20060823\/tc_nm\/apple_creative_dc_3\">Apple said it will pay $100 million for a license to use Creative&#8217;s patented technology in its iPod music player, settling all legal disputes between the two companies.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally uploaded by y0nderboy.
