Best coffeeshop, not-so-great job day

Well, yesterday I went to one of the most wonderful coffee shops I've ever imagined - Jerabek's New Bohemian in St. Paul - 100 years old and all pleasingly funky without being dirty, with food that was interesting and tasty and very cheap. Also it had cool dishes for sale and nifty dresses in a thrift store thing going on. We got two sandwiches, roasted asparagus, a piece of berry-peach pie with granola on top, two iced coffees, all for about 20 with tax. Yum! And they had a pretty garden /patio deal too.

On the down side, I got home and had an email in my box saying I wouldn't be getting an interview for the youth services job I'd applied for. But as my friend S. pointed out - it's better to know so that you don't keep wondering, than to get no response at all. Which is certainly true, but it's also better to be employed than it is to be not employed.

And I really really hate being not employed.

Self-doubt

Met a woman yesterday who loathed Angelina Jolie. And also this woman thought that Maggie Gyllenhaal (sp?) was unattractive. I was a bit confused, sorta hurt.

Don't know why it would cause me pain to learn that one person I've only just met dislikes a pair of other people whom I have in fact never met, but there it is.

Today is a day of self-doubt. Doubt about so many things, which bears no relationship to my actual accomplishments, I suppose. Doubt caused just by the natural flux-state that accompanies transition (oooh, there's a sentence that indicates ponciness if ever there was one. bleh.)

I think the best thing to do would be to unplug the internet, go read some comic books, and try the whole thing again at a later time.

Silly thing, but now I feel better

Apparently Kim Harrison will be in town at Dreamhaven next month. Assuming I'm not working or something then, anyone in the area want to go with me? Yay, vampire novel writers.

Well, if no one else, J. probably wouldn't mind going too. Cool. I definitely feel better now. I suppose all it takes is one thing.
