Thanks! It neatly sums up how I'm feeling right about now.

In related news, I just learned the ASL sign for "lesbian." I'm not sure if I should be offended or not. You make an "L" with your right hand and put the webbing between your thumb and forefinger under your lower lip, palm on chin.

They do say the best signs are easy to remember.

HA! I so did this!

(now pictures about half of them wiggling their tongues)

Of course I did this, too.

My throat is hurty this morning. Feh. However, since the boy slept for 8 hours straight, that makes up for it.

Deena and Perkins, insent.

Cash, I so did that too.

Anne, I feel the same way right now, which is probably why I like it.

Question for Jen and/or Val: what's the name of the owner type person at Judy Jetson that does such fabulous work? I needs me a haircut.

Nora, I don't go to Judy Jetson's, I go to Liquid (in the South End). The owner there is Camille, and she rocks.

Nora, I also go to Liquid and see Camille. And as Jen said, she truly rocks. Their website is here: [link]

Timelies! Today is curtains day. Yay!

But first? Coffee.

The accounting firm I used to work for was doing an audit of the NSF, and one of our partners got to go on a site visit to the Antarctica research statement. Jealous.

We are so predictable. I learned the alphabet when I was a child to communicate with deaf parents of my girlfriend. They have told me I am very easy to lip read, and this is much faster than my slow signing. They told me this as an adult of course. They were always praising my bad signing as a child.

Fast access quick for Raquel!

Health~ma to bitches in need.

Gyeeargh.

I'm going to be taking ASL this summer at school. I'm really looking forward to it. At UMass Boston, you can take ASL as your language. And since I want to work with autistic kids, it's something I'll probably actually use. Of course, they don't offer a full two years of it, so to make up for that I have to take calculus, which is a strange way to make up for the last semester of a required language, but whatever. I was planning on taking calculus anyway.

Srgh, the South End, eh? Is it close to the T? Would it be easy to get to if, say, someone who worked on the Red line wanted to work before and after the appointment? Camille probably can't see me on a Saturday anyway on such short notice. Maybe I can get slip out of work tomorrow or Friday and then come back.

Also, I'm starting to suspect that the whole community here is in on an elaborate practical joke that involves hidden cameras and waiting for me to provide a payoff of an entertaining nervous breakdown.

I just want to walk out, blow everything off, go get my hair cut and treat myself to lunch.

I read the website and have a good idea where they are, so never mind my public transportation query. I'll try to remember to call them later and see if I can get in.
