Mud Pies, Anyone?

Blog of the day is Mudpiemarie:

1. How are you planning to spend the summer?
Tough one. I think I'll be at work during July and at work during August... Oh wait, that is the entire summer. Can we say bitter? Anyway, I am taking a dance class this summer and I am going to attempt to take a couple of days off around labor day to go to New York.

2. What was your first summer job?
My first summer job was babysitting the devil child. Devil child was five years old, watched Mtv, had a dog that could jump as high as my head, and invited large quantities of toddlers over to her house when I wasn't looking. She also had one of those Barbie cars that runs on batteries, except her batteries were never charged so I would end up pushing the thing back home. This would always lead to the argument of why I couldn't push her in the car, which would inevitably lead to her having a tantrum and me looking like the devil babysitter. Ahhh, the joys of early employment.

Don't go there expecting lengthy and detailed political analyses (but then, you won't get those here, either). What you get is little slices of Jeanine's life (no, I don't know what happened to Marie) and wonderful photos. Jeanine has a really good eye for composition and colour. The site design is delightfully minimalist too.

She had this to say about Harry Potter:

Friday was pure crazy-stuff at the bookstore. We sold 650 copies of HP5 that night. In the whole scheme of things that may not sound like a lot, but you must keep in mind that every copy had at least two people attached to it (if not more). So according to my calculations, we broke approximately 108 fire codes on Friday night.

I had been fooled into thinking that we were actually going to open the boxes prior to midnight so we could have them ready to sell. I was wrong. We sliced the boxes open at midnight and sold them straight from the boxes. Oh the nerdiness. People were actually taking pictures of the boxes. Oh wait, I did that, too.

And like all right-thinking people, she lusts after the Macintosh G5.
