at full speed

So I finally gave in and made a twitter. Le sigh. Obviously I do not INTEND to become a fulltime twit, but I had to make one to follow other people's, and there's this tempting text box sitting RIGHT THERE and ohhh this never ends well. You guys what should I use as my twitter icon?

My interview today went well - unpaid internship, but it's low maintenance and largely web-based, so I figure why not. I get references that are not my math teacher out of it! Not so much helping on the earn-enough-to-move-out front but my mum has been unusually tolerable lately. And also I am making surprising amounts from the online tutoring thing, I had not realised I worked 60 hours this month until I looked at the little ~approximate billing pop-up. I cannot figure out how that thing works, there is always a discrepancy between "scheduled hours" and "hours online" with the former being higher even when I have worked MORE HOURS THAN I SCHEDULED (due to "floating" which is where excess traffic gets dumped onto people who don't get paid to wait for it because they're not on the schedule. When it's super busy there is next to no difference.) Anyway, I'm told not to worry about the weirdness because those are not the numbers they use to calculate our pay, but I just don't understand how it's even POSSIBLE to get those numbers in the first place.

I should get to bed, rehearsals tomorrow! I don't think I posted here about the TROUTS play beyond auditions - it's called Opening a Fuzzwollop’s Frame of Mind by Daniel Evans and I'm playing Wilma, this batty old lady type. :D Short Play night is on April 8th, so Sydney folks should come along!

I always thought the pic of you in DethFlu mask gave you a pretty even balance of the intriguing and the sinister.

But you can't read it at that crop/scale.

But surely the intrigue will lead one to view the image larger....

Okay, barring that, zombie!Maggie?

Ah. You unleashed the Power of Twitter Email Matching, didn't you.

If you want to actually follow *me*, you want to follow http://twitter.com/drjon

The linkfrenzy twitter is currently inactive--although not forever!

COME TO THE DARK SIDE!

(I made this icon specifically for twitter to downsize well. Also I think it sums up my entire being fairly aptly.)

[maggiebloome.livejournal.com]

China China China using the same excuse for us not to lead. China is acatlluy starting to see the error in their ways due to climate change showing itself there through droughts, floods, desertification, etc. (though they have much more to do) Also, as their economy is still growing their amount of CO2 emissions per person are still not as high as ours. This is why we must work out a way for developing countries like China and India to reap the economic benefits we did while working to preserve the climate. What they do is no excuse for the U.S. to sit back and do nothing. Matter of fact, it is the very reason why we shouldn't be sitting back. Also, nuclear energy is not renewable nor green. You are relying on a toxic energy source that requires uranium mining and Co2 intensive construction, not to mention the pollution of waterways, killing of fish, threat of downtime during heatwaves and droughts, security threats, and continued toxic waste issues. Why some continue to want to cater to the very status quo that keeps us standing still instead of moving into truly renewable enrgy sources is beyond my comprehension. Enough sun falls on this Earth in 45 minutes that could power us for a year. We need to stop wasting our money on nuclear subsidies in a dead energy source, and provide much more incentive and support of solar energy. The strides being made in cell efficiency, nighttime efficiency and capability, and price parity are what we don't hear much about. But nevertheless, solar in my view is a power source we must turn to in order to not only stimulate economic growth, but climate and environmental stability.
