weirdness on a wednesday

is that what porcupine eggs look like?

: : still laughing about the fact that last week i was told that i didn't get a job i interviewed for because i lacked experience in a multi-national company working across cultures. huh? and even weirder, the woman who told me this had met me and talked to me for nearly two hours. and a lot of the conversation centered on all of the places i had traveled and nationalities i had worked with for my work with two different multi-national companies from 2001-2007. oh, and the past two years where i've worked in a country other than the one in which i live. oh, not to mention that i've had my entire working life outside the country of my birth. cross culture, my ass. note to self: do not speak danish in an interview ever again.

: : trying to convince husband to restage some cute pictures from his childhood, a la this. thus far, i have failed. tho' it wasn't the picture above i was trying to convince him to restage. there's another one of him at about age 3, standing stark naked in the backyard on a quilt. funnily enough, he won't go for an updated version of that one.

: : yesterday, it went from heavy snow to brilliant sunshine in the space of about an hour. i'll take some more of the sunshine, please.

: : my wednesday is only going to get weirder. will undoubtedly share more of that later. it's going to be anthropology, i tell you. observing the natives in their natural habitat. just like a good cross-cultural girl should...
