potpourri

the automatic teller machine ate my bank card yesterday after i somehow managed to enter the incorrect PIN not one, not two, but three times in a row. i couldn't figure out what i was doing wrong, but when i called the soperton news this morning (which is bizarrely not in our local calling area) i realized i had been trying to use my four-digit long distance code at the ATM. with all these numbers floating around in my head, it's a wonder i can remember anything.

we acquired another weekly newspaper last week, once again expanding the courier-herald's media empire. so now i'm managing seven papers instead of six. i've had to switch into hyperproductivity mode at work to bring the new paper up to speed, but it's actually pretty cool.

the weekend was quite productive. made it up to atlanta late friday night and saw tech lose to georgia at russ chandler on saturday. went to the atlanta film festival sat night with j, but i had to get back to macon because i was playing the piano at north macon presbyterian on sunday morning. the music director there was my sixth grade teacher and we're still in touch; she asked me to fill in.

i just asked myself why i include these rather mundane details in my posts, but i've decided they're as much for me as for anybody. so when i look back ten years from now (assuming i preserve this content in some way) i'll remember what i was up to.
