I am not Normal
But then, you knew that.
I don't remember the last time this happened - I did not watch the Super Bowl. I work in advertising and I did not see the Ultimate Ad Showdown. Good thing I don't work in teevee ads.
I'm glad Pittsburgh won - I have a soft spot for that town after working there for about four months one year.
I did not see the Big Game because I was travelling between Portland, Oregon and Chicago. I had a nice time starting to read Empire Falls by Richard Russo which I picked up at Powell's bookstore.
I spent most of my time in PDX hangin with my sister WCUSP l.t. members, sleepin on the top bunk in a hostel, and getting to know a few Oregon members of Women's International League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF).
I should be asleep, but I recently downloaded Thunderbird to help me get a handle on my activist email. So far, it's download 5400 messages, the most recent from November, 2005. I'm a little obsessive and want to try to get all my email downloaded before I go to sleep, even though I don't have time to sort it or create folders or anything. Having folders again will be such a blessing - I really hate that about Gmail. Labels just don't work with this much chatter.
Now I know why I haven't had time to blog - between email, being on the national board of WILPF and the WCUSP leadership team, looking for a new job, and doing my current job, I simply haven't made the time for this activity which is near and dear to my heart. I'll try harder in the future...
