We’re going away for a long weekend. I’ll be back posting Monday, probably. Comments have been disabled while I’m gone, so things don’t get out of hand like they did yesterday. Here’s your last Halloween Link – 2004′s Scariest Costumes.

If any of you, like me, were wondering why the hell Jimmy Fallon was on the field with the Red Soxs last night making out with Drew Barrymore, wonder no more. [via tv tattle]

Remember I told you about my friends who have been creating and renting anti-Bush billboards and painting banners? A particular friend’s parents have had two of those banners stolen and/or SET ON FIRE. This is bullshit, people, this kind of violence and theft. Please spread this story around, because we shouldn’t live in a world where someone expresses opinion on private property and wakes up to see a fire in their yard.

Everyone is talking about Eminem’s new video, “Mosh.” Watch it here, or here. It honestly blew me away. An amazing and inspiring piece of work by Ian Inaba and Eminem.

Also, in case you’re interested, here is the quintessential picture of me on my wedding day. Don’t ever say that I’m not the definition of elegant femininity.

So I’m back from the interview (it was only five minutes down the road). Um, yeah, I’ll be shocked and awed if they give me this project. Not because I’m not qualified, but it was kind of odd. I already knew a bit about the project, so no surprises there. I met with four people on the team, all of whom seemed quite nice (and one who looked just like Debra Messing). I asked a lot of questions, I quizzed each person on their responsibility in the project, I offered opinions on how to work with the client, and I showed them samples of some work I’ve done and explained why I would do a creative and professional job. I felt like Emilio Estevez in St. Elmo’s Fire: “I’m your man, Mr. Kim. Mr. Kim, I’m your man.” The PM asked twice, “Does anyone have any questions,” and when his team didn’t respond, I asked some small ones just so he knew I was still listening. When I had taken two pages of notes, he asked one more time, “Any questions?” and the team all went, “No,” and he said, “All right then,” and they all got up, shook my hand and basically fled from the room. Hi, did I fart or something? Is my boob hanging out? What? WHAT? At least the PM had the decency to say, “We’ll be in touch,” even though we all know that means, “Don’t even think about coming back here.” Ah well. Bummer. The conference room had a pinball machine and everything.

I had a terrible nightmare last night that involved jumping off a collapsing bridge into water, and realizing right before I hit the water that it was electrified from the bridge collapsing. It was very real and I can still see the other people who fell off the bridge slowly sinking to the bottom like I was, being electrocuted and struggling to get back up to the top. When I woke up (I actually was able to wake myself up), my fingers and hands were tingling. Ca-razy. I wonder if this has anything to do with the fact that I have to go to an interview in an hour to try and land a temporary freelance project. Even though I am 36 years old and fully capable of dealing with leading a meeting and finding out client expectations, when I walk into an unfamiliar conference room, I feel fresh out of college and not worthy of being asked for my opinion. Today, I will try to be confident. I know I can do this work, so I should stop acting like such a pussy, yah? Also, I never, ever want to have that dream again.
