Thursday, June 12, 2003 The Pitch: It's like The Thing meets The Neverending Story! So Jackie's friend Sandwich apparently got hired on to go to Antarctica and work."Did she pass all the tests?" "Well, some doctor was giving her crap about her asthma, but she was like, 'What do I have to worry about that for? It's Antarctica!' And then they made her blow into this tube, and...." "No, I mean, like the psychological tests. Don't they give you a battery of psychological tests to see if you can handle Antarctica?" "What, you don't think Sandwich could pass a psychological test?" "Dude, I don't think I could pass a psychological test." "Jeff, you could pass a psychological test." I'd like to think that's true, but this is the sixth or seventh day in a row I've lifted the windowshade and seen sunless sky. And it's pretty damn depressing. I can only imagine what it would be like to be in Antarctica and only get four hours of daylight and have those hours be worse than this. There are a lot of reasons I'm looking forward to next week's cross-country trip, but the instant I lifted the shade this morning the whole sun and heat thing just jumped another few places up the list. Mmm, and I'm on page 159 of Ratner's Star. Nothing new to report, other than it's striking to me how much less reading and writing (unless I'm on assignment) I do on my weeks off. posted by Jeff Lester | 9:33 AM | |
