Plan for the 11th
2002-09-11 10:361. Avoid all TV and radio news.
2. Avoid most internet news, too, other than scanning headlines.
I'm not interested in watching endless memorials. I'm not interested in NPR-style analyses of the way media will be exploiting the anniversary. And I'm very not interested in watching rebroadcast footage from last September 11.
( Optional quasi-polemical liberal remembrance )
Maybe I'll go out driving with Peroxide. I don't think Linvatec will call to set up an appointment until tomorrow or Friday if they do, and I'm growing a little pessimistic about the potential San José position--I'd have expected at least a response to Monday's email by now if the employer was interested. (Honestly I'd have expected a response by now even if he wasn't. Perhaps there are extenuating circumstances.)
Technically I could--and yeah, probably should--stay here and get going on packing. But I'm feeling somewhat less overwhelmed by that, partially from the simple act of boxing up most of those comics. I chucked out an awful lot, I confess, but I've still ended up with most of a "long box" (which holds about 200), and that's after returning a number of the ones I've found to their original homes in the two short boxes I had my collection in previously.
I'd really like to drive up into the mountains, but that's always problematic in Florida.
