Some one does in fact live in this house. No, they are not having a garage sale, that's just how they like to decorate their front yard.
An attempt at being artistic.
Dairy Queen!!! This place is generally packed.
My week has been pretty fun. I wrote a short promo-article for the MSU extension adult food class happening here this summer, and the lady teaching it called to thank me for writing such a good article. I thought that was really nice. I've never been thanked for an article before. I spent all day yesterday hanging out with developmentally disabled adults for a story on Annie, a well-known woman in town with downs syndrome. But I also got a story assignment for Apostrophe, a Montana magazine about developmental disabilities. Who knew that doing the kind-of-cliche story on a local outgoing disabled person would lead to an opportunity to write another one for a different publication for more money? I guess that's why it's a cliche, right?
I don't know what to say when people ask me how I'm liking Malta. Do I like it here? Not particularly, there's not much to do and I'm going to have to order styling products for my hair online, along with pretty much anything else I want, beyond a shake at Dairy Queen. Do I like the people? Yes, very much. I am having fun meeting people out here, everyone is friendly and down-to-earth which makes it easy for me. Do I like the work? Yes, yes, yes, especially finally get paid to write something. I'm an official word prostitute and I like the way it feels.
Finally, is it wrong to use my position as a fake member of the Montana Newspaper Association to stalk a local Ph.D student/very cute bird scientist?
