Carbon Leafery

We have an update out of Google, folks. It seems that since they don't have the people up here in Kirkland to interview me (which we'd already suspected here at MurkNorth), and since I would specifically be non-local to the main Google office, they need to do a second phone screen with me to make absolutely sure they want to bring me down for an interview on-site (which would still count for a Kirkland position). I can deal with that, and it's good to know what's going on now. So I get to talk to another Google type on Monday morning. Wish me luck, folks!

No word yet out of Volt about the current contract nibble on the line, though. I'd been given to understand that I should have heard something today, but so far nothing.

In the meantime, although I have been trying to write all day, mostly this has amounted to the following exchange between me and my brain:

Me: "Heeeeeeeeeeeeere words! Here word word words!"
My brain: *sound of crickets chirping*

I've barely written a couple hundred words today. This vexes me.

On the other hand, I have at least amused myself by downloading all of the available tracks off Carbon Leaf's official media downloads page. A scattering of songs on all of their albums may be downloaded for free; I approve! So this gives me a partial sampling of all the rest of their albums that I don't have yet, and hopefully this'll give me an idea of which one I want to buy next.
