This and that

As I was typing up this entry, I went to my file for the Jennworks Home page and realized I hadn’t post the entry below, the one for September 30th. Though it’s “out of date” I decided to post it anyway as I had already typed it up and since this log has become a convient way for friends and family to keep track of my doings.

This weekend wasn’t quite as eventful as last one, though I did manage to keep myself busy.

Friday I went to see Dave Eggers (of McSweeney’s fame) read from his assorted works—my favorite, at least from a performance angle, being the letters from an Irish Setter named Steven to various CEOs. I went with some co-workers, and we learned that Dave’s favorite thing to write are the pirate bios he created to be printed on paper he’s burnt himself for the McSweeney’s Pirate Supply Store in the Mission in San Francisco.

Kip and I began Saturday with a trip to the hazardous waste dump—not as exciting as the first time we went about a year ago, carting a 5 gallon jug of ethyl alchol and three car battries that the previous tenants had let behind. Then there was more cleaning and organizing of the basement before attending Mim’s Intellectual Love-in and then a now ex-coworker’s dinner party. Very low key, very fun.

Sunday there was more mellow socializing and, for me, much drawing. I’ve hopes of posting the first page of Chapter 2 of Dicebox by Friday, though I seem to have finalized the pencils for page 2 first. Ah well.
