Jeff (of tinmanic.com) notes that today is the anniversary of his first date with Matt. As I noted in my congratulatory comment, the two of them are terrific people individually, and terrifically suited to one another as well. Jeff writes: I’ve never met anyone else with whom I’ve clicked so well. We don’t even need […]
Last week was a doozy. It started on Monday with the terrible interview, and continued with some general ongoing uncertainty at work, with some of our contractors being let go while there are rumors that there could even be significant changes or even job losses on the government direct-hire side over the coming year (a […]
I had a job interview today with another agency. I was pretty confident walking in, not too nervous–generally a very competent and comfortable interviewee, I typically find it even easier and less stressful when, as in this case, I have the luxury of not strictly needing the job for which I’m interviewing–and thought I was […]
What is it with the influx of Christian-focused spam I’ve been seeing in my inbox recently? I’m getting flooded with information about Christian online dating services and Christian mortgage companies, among others. Today, for example, an email with the subject line “Jesus Loves You. Refinance Now” informs me that ChristianMortgageUSA.com, “Your Leading Advisor With Biblical […]
There’s apparently no movie, no matter how classic or celebrated, for which the experience of watching can’t be improved by doing so alfresco, in a park, in the company of a few dozen queens and their friends. Last night, Jeff and I went to the Washington DC GLBT Center (actually, DC has no physical GLBT […]
Just as I was starting to become bored with my springtime gaming addiction, City of Heroes, The Sims 2 was released about a week ago. This remake of the best-selling PC game of all time, The Sims, offers pretty much the same gameplay as the original, with a few updates–Sims now age and eventually die, […]
Arlington County has issued a press release entitled “Arlington Encourages 20 and 30-Somethings to Get Involved with Youth.” ARLINGTON, VA. — Are you a 20/30-something looking for ways to get more involved in Arlington? To engage and inspire local youth? To participate in social and community activities that don’t require a commute to DC? The […]
While lately I haven’t been doing as much personal blogging here on elf-reflection, I’ve been doing a better job of continuing to post items to my quicklink blogs over at Dude, Check This Out! In addition to the two from which I include headlines on the elf-reflection home page–serendipity, my primary Dude blog [XML], and […]
Back in March, I’d posted about other Thom Watsons I’d heard or learned about. On Monday I followed a link from one of the progressive political blogs I read to a blog I’d never before seen, by a Tom Watson (without the h) in New York. From his biographic information I discovered that he and […]
This morning the alarm clock woke me from a series of dreams I was having in which old classic TV shows were somehow skewed. I can’t recall the specifics of the other shows about which I was dreaming–I do remember that they included The Flintstones, which I think had some sort of Queer Eye crossover […]
