Oh my. I hadn't heard that yet. Dick Clark. As if I didn't feel old enough. American Bandstand was the thing when I was a dancing thing. RIP my friend.
eta: I'd give him the highest mark. Easy to dance to with a good beat.
I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Dick Clark was New Year's every year for my entire childhood.
Yeah, I know. The New Year's Eve? No longer Rockin'.

Aimee, Victor got the news b/c he works in a newsroom, but the AP hasn't actually filed the story yet.
We just know b/c Buffistas Know Everything.

Yep, no word yet on my usual news links. Back in the day (over 30 years ago) when I had constant teletype news access I was quite addicted to having news every moment. It is quite the transition now that most of the news I don't want to know. Still sad.

I'm watching Alias and am enjoying the usual Weiss/Vaughn. They make such a damned cute couple. I love that Weiss gets Vaughn's back even when it means withholding from Nadia. Or maybe especially if it means withholding from Nadia. Weiss/Vaughn, there love is so pure.
Okay, got an issue. it's a tiny one... but basically I'm supposed to be at UCLA teaching for two days next month. I've helmed a weekend without my coteacher and I could see me doing what I need for a weekend elsewhere. Scholastic is offering to fly me to New York, put me up in a hotel and feed me to work on their advisory board for a new writing thing on that same weekend.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So Kat, is the issue whether or not to ask the coteacher to fly solo one weekend so you can do the Scholastic project? Because I think that's a totally fair thing to ask of a colleague.

Well, the issue is more that I made a commitment to be there on X weekends and I get paid to do it.
When R couldn't make it, it was because of a funeral. My reasons are far less...serious, I guess.
