One year ago: I was busy. I recycled a picture of me wearing my Tomato Nation t-shirt, because Sarah linked to me and I got a bunch of hits from it.

Yeah, so much for more frequent updates. Well, you never know. It was less than a week! Last time I waited like 2 weeks to update. So I guess technically that is more frequent.

I've been working on my portfolio to put on my other website so I can try to get a job, since I'm done with school in like 3 weeks. However, I do have some exciting news...I got a consulting job!

Mary works with a guy, and his wife works for a credit union. The credit union is looking to add a website so that people can do online banking and online bill payment. Obviously, that's all a little above and beyond what I can do, so they're hiring other companies and looking at packaged solutions that other credit unions have used. But the woman wants someone to be like the liaison between her and the vendors, because she doesn't feel like she knows enough about the web to know if she's getting ripped off or what. So she wants me to translate what the vendors are telling her and let her know if they're on the level. I think it sounds like a pretty cool job! I start next week. So that's pretty exciting.

In other news, Jim is back from San Diego and he had a great time. He sent in his film to be developed yesterday, so hopefully I can post some of the pictures here. He said he couldn't live there because the people are too vain and they drink too much. No offense to any readers in San Diego. Maybe it was just the people that Jim hung out with or something.

supergush is releasing their new CD this weekend. They were on the local music show last night (which I forgot to listen to, but it's archived on the web! Look for the April 16th show). Actually, looking at my entry a year ago, they were on the same show this time last year! That's funny. They are doing one morning show on Thursday and another on Friday. Then they have a CD release party on Saturday at the Hotel Syracuse. If you live in the area, come on down! I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. They're also premiering their new video for "Sally Hayes".

Tonight is the full moon, so expect weirdness. Usually, my cats are crazy around this time. Actually, my cats are crazy all the time. Grendel has developed a habit of chewing on one of my snow globes. What's up with that?

Okay, I have to go do my Party of Five recap. The producers were nice enough to schedule two new episodes this week. Thanks, producers! As if the two-hour season finale weren't enough.
