this new invasion in conversation it leaves me waiting

I think I should make this a weblog. Mostly because I am envious of Rubytrax's delightful bloguey goodness, but also because I feel like I can't come up with more than one paragraph most days. Yeah, I guess that was said before and better by Rubytrax as well. I should just outright copy her and do the blogue thing on my own site and run away from Diaryland, but I have this lovely SuperGold membership for another six months. Also, the DigsRing, the wonderful buddy list feature (so that people can read it the minute it is updated, before I proofread it and change everything, yay!) free D-Land ads, etc. It's hard to leave. So I think that I stay, but completely redo. I need to find a way to make The Modern Log (because you know I can't go into "blog" territory. Web LOG, right? Modern Log. Easy. And tempting. Oh ho!

So yes, that is my next project. In case you wanted to keep track, here are my current outstanding projects (Internet-related only, don't even get me started on the other ones.)

- Ever put my Best of 2003s up at DDYWNYC
- Ever start adding links and capitalizing on the fact that I am currently partnered with BlueDoor.com, Amazon.com and DVDUniverse.com.
- Get playlists and a new Secret Fun Club up
- Implement P.Phone's genius From Jane's Kitchen menu feature
- Redo Diaryland layout/format.

See, I'm pretty busy.

I applied the other day for a job which sounded like my dream job. It was a mid-level editorial position with a parenting magazine where I would be dealing with the readers, the only aspect of editing I have ever liked. Yes, dealing with readers and maintaining the magazine's cumulative index. I love that junk. So far, my resume has been marked submitted but not read or approved or rejected. The form letter I got said, "It takes us a really long time to get back to you." Yay. Bleh.

In better news, El Fano was working on a new corporate identity for some insurance company and I wrote the little tagline for the cover of their information folder/media kit thing and so I made 1250! I really needed that $1250. I also really need more jobs where I come up with four words and earn $1250 a shot. Two of those a week, I'd be doing very well.

OH! Maybe if I make Jane Says a weblog? This is something to consider. See how disjointed my thinking is? This is why I need to work in short bits. Like Modern Log and 4-word jobs. The end.
