Drama at my old house

I recently recieved an email from my old roommate about the ongoing drama at my old rock-n-roll triple decker. Turns out Ice Pick Man doesn't even really live there. He just shacks up there for the icepicking opportunities. And now that there is no ice, his relationship with Cinderella (thanks to Kate for the nicknames) is on the rocks. You know what, instead of me telling the story second-hand (really third-hand if you trace it back to its origins--my other former roommate), just go to Kate's blog and read it yourself. She also shows off some of her artwork, which is fabulous.

Other news: Tuesday night Jon and I had free tickets to see Chevalier and Me, which was a lovely one-man musical review of Maurice Chevalier (probably best known in the U.S. for his performance in Gigi--"Thank Heavens for Little Girls.") The show wasn't bad, although I thought Tony Sandler--the one-man of the one-man show--seemed a bit uncomfortable with some of his props. And I also probably would have appreciated it more if I was 70 instead of 25, as the CEEH residents who went did really seem to enjoy themselves.

On the work front, I had IT-Man give me a lesson about webpage upkeep, and so I'm slowly making changes to www.ceeh.org. So far the changes are probably not too noticable to the general public, but soon I hope great things will happen. Unfortunately, I'm stuck using Microsoft FrontPage (motto: "Helping you make lame webpages since 1995") and to make things worse, our webpage template is table-based which I find frustrating as it seems to limit what I can do with it. But I'm dealing. And if I have some spare cash in the next month I might try and find a book about webpage design, html, etc because I think expanding my html knowledge will help a lot (what I currently know about html is the bits that are left from my original high school webpage-before Geocities was taken over by Yahoo, and before there were all these fancy web design programs).

This morning AOD (my supervisor) and I are going to go to this art shingding and pick out three pieces of art. I assume their for Bishop Street, but I can't be certain about that. Poor AOD is totally stressed out with grant writing. Most foundations work on a quarterly system, and most of them space out their quarters the same, so May 1st is a huge deadline. And every foundation wants something different, which makes it even harder.

I got an email from Hostelling International. I'm still on their AmeriCorp list, and I've been invited again for a weekend on Martha's Vineyard. If only had the money. Whoa is me. It would be so nice! Not that it's expensive--probably $100 for the whole weekend--but currently it's out of reach for me. Maybe in the fall.... that would be nice.
