The exploits of Dawn Eden

Cash from the Past: My editor liked the headline I wrote last night for a story in today's paper: "From blue notes to C-notes: a jazz widow's windfall."

Anatomy of a Winner: The prize for wittiest team name at last night's Tuesday Night Trivia [which Caren Lissner and I host every Tuesday, 7:30 p.m., at the Baggot Inn] went to the team called "Show me on the doll where he touched you."

Love Connexion: An overdue check of my P.O. box yesterday brought a CD-R of the Twinn Connexion's lone LP [plus unreleased bonus cuts!], courtesy of Twinn Gerry Hopkins himself. I'll have more to write about this when I have more time [am doing a brief and, I regret to admit, illicit blog at my Red Cross temp job right now], but I will share one observation. The album has an unusual feel, simultaneously New York neurotic and java-juice joyous, that I can best describe as Tony Romeo-esque. Picture an entire album of creative variations on the verse of "I Think I Love You"--only the verse, mind you, not the chorus. You'd have something at once brilliant, enticing, and maddening. That, my friend, plus two gorgeous lookalike blonde mod cover boys [the former Imperial Margarine twins!], is the Twinn Connexion in a nutshell.

Todd's on Target: Todd was talking to me about the threat of new terrorist attacks, and I'm sorry to say that I rather depressedly replied that, should such attacks happen, my temporary workplace at the Greater New York Red Cross headquarters could be a prime target.

Todd didn't miss a beat: "So you could go work for the Red Crescent instead."

I Ain't Workin' Here No More: I am very sad to report that the job offer I wrote about in an earlier entry has been rescinded. Before I was to start, the person who would have been my boss was hospitalized with brain cancer. The organization then fired him--out of budgetary concerns, they tell me--and informed me that new budgetary revelations required that they fire me as well. This is the first time in my life that I have been fired from a job before I even started.

At least I have a full-time income for the time being--I'm working a temp job at the Red Cross, plus doing a day at the newspaper and a night at Tuesday Night Trivia (every week at the Baggot Inn--e-mail me for details). Still, the loss of what I thought would be a dream job is a terrible disappointment (and the illness of my would-be supervisor a tragedy), and I long for a full-time job in my chosen field. This is a time when I am extremely thankful for the good things in my life, like you, my friend, who are reading this, and, of course, My Boyfriend Todd™.

Hot Flash: Check out these stellar pix from Jamie Foehl's friend Hiro Oshima's Halloween party at Cibar on Irving Place. Above, from left, is me as Dale Arden with My Boyfriend Todd™ as Flash Gordon, and Jamie with Her Boyfriend Kyle Smith as themselves. Note Todd's reading matter: Fodor's Guide to Mongo.
Todd and I regaled Jamie's friend Ben (far left) with tales of Mongo's Hawkmen, whom Todd observed inspired the similarly-named DC Comics character.








And here are the real cinematic Flash and Dale, in their earthly garb. I think Todd and I captured the look, don't you?

She's a Real Screen: The drug screening I mentioned the other day was in advance of a temp job at the Red Cross. I volunteered there after the September 11 attacks, and they recently contacted me to ask if I would return as a paid temporary supervisor on a project to update their Siebel database. I accepted, as it wouldn't interfere with my part-time gig. Sadly, the dream job I mentioned a few weeks ago is currently in limbo, due to tragic circumstances beyond my control.

The E-Name Above All E-Names: I should be in bed right now, as I have to take a drug test at the Red Cross tomorrow morning (a lot happens when I don't blog for extended periods), but I have to share this with the world. I just learned about Googlism.com from Tanked Michael's blog and thought I'd give it a try before turning in for the night. First I tried "Dawn Eden", of course. Then I tried "Todd Seavey". Finally, I typed in "Jesus", only I was too tired to capitalize it. Below is what came up. Thank you, Tanked Michael, for blowing my mind:
