My horoscope for the day:

Dear LUCY, This is an important day for you to make valuable connections with others, LUCY. You will find yourself engaged in fast paced, witty conversations and debates from which you can learn a great deal. You are good at seeing both sides of an issue, but the problem is that this can lead to indecisiveness and an inability to make commitments. Choose a path today and stick to it.

I'm trying to figure out if I should cancel the interview I have set up this afternoon. You guys know how I sent out some resumes last week and I met with a headhunter yesterday morning right? Yesterday I get called into the big boss's office and I was wondering what I did wrong because I usually don't have to deal with him. Turns out its time for performance reviews (July 1st) and they're giving me a big raise and they really want me to stay. I don't know what to do now. The headhunter called me this morning and had 2 companies interested in me. I'm such a wimp I'll go on all those interviews because it would be easier than calling and cancelling (because I don't want them to have an unfavorable opinion of me and I wouldn't want that to somehow get around to other companies).

Eileen was on the phone just now and she used the word "snippy". I just started laughing because it just hit me that was one of Al Gore's words during the debates in 2000. Steve and I were talking about those debates last weekend... and the Saturday Night Live parodies of them. Al Gore's sighing, interrupting, "snippy," "lockbox"... George W. Bush's "strategery," "fuzzy math," "Don't mess with Texas!"... Darrell Hammond and Will Ferrell were awesome impersonating the two ("*Cough* That was not a sigh!!" ). I found this site with jokes from the campaign. Good times.

Eileen was cracking me up on Monday. She said she was trying to be nice to the assistant because "it's Monday, it's early and I think I have B.O." Amy and Andy recently saw a picture of Eileen and they were surprised because they said the way I talk about Eileen, they thought she was old, white, ugly and fat. (Amy and Andy don't know each other either, they both told me this though). Do I really give that impression of her? For the record, she is in her 30s, Filipino, pretty and normal sized (Dante says she has thick thighs but I think she's about the same size I am).

Little things - old news, but I just forget to post:

Britney: Not Like a Virgin - well, duh... and besides, who wouldn't want to do it with Justin?? heehee, unless you're a guy, of course. well, some guys... nevermind.

Damon Stoudamire, Darrell Armstrong and Kobe were all arrested recently... What is it, "arrest a NBA player" week? I'm still waiting to hear what Kobe did. And that hospital, DNA story makes me really wonder.

Gary Payton is going to be a Laker, Karl Malone might be next. Welcome to the club... but what bothers me is Gary Payton's agent making a big big deal about his client taking less money to win a championship. I commend and love him for doing that, but Rick Fox had been there, done that (taken less money for a chance to win a championship). Lets just hope Kobe clears up his matter before the season starts so we have no distractions.
