Thanks, guys! That was some lovely TAR whitefont. I had to leave for class, or I would have said so earlier.
ETA: TAR--
Wow. The preview for next week looks way intense. It's not so much who's going to finish first or who might be eliminated, but who might survive this next leg of... The Amazing Race. Also, I love Rob and Amber, so I was very happy that they won. I even like that they got a prize. Lynn and Alex's prize last week was, obviously, beating Rob and Amber. It's what they wanted more than anything else in the world. Clearly.
I just looked at the syllabus, and there is like no explanation of what we're supposed to do, so I feel free to throw some bullshit together and hand it in.
This has been the case (for me) for a large chunk of my academic career. So far, so good. For some reason, that method tends to work better than actually sweating it out and killing yourself over writing the best paper that you can. I don't know why.
So I saw Elvis. And he was grand. I tend to forget that even though I think of him primarily as a songwriter/singer/arranger, he's also a kickass performer. Great show. He had sparkly shoes: Hecubus would have approved.
But the surprising thing was that the opening act was Tift Merritt! Whom I remembered Nutty saying she knew. And she was very good indeed; I may go looking for her album.
A fun time was had by all, in the lovely Paramount Theater, which many Buffistas will remember.
Skipping and poking head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Raquel's birthday (what an amazing present she gave to herself a couple of days ago, ha?). Happy birthday, Raquel! With lots of wishes for a wonderful year.
Happy Birthday, Raquel!
And I'm going to sleep very soon, but: hi, Nilly!
What did the TAR preview show? My Tivo cut it off like a muhfuck.
Happy Birthday Raquel!
And Hi, Nilly and Alibelle!
And I'm off to bed too. Reading bad SG-1 shmoop is not a good reason to stay up late.
Night, Ali! Night, Suela!
Rio, obviously, I have no answer to your question. Only "hi, Rio!".
Will it be annoying to ask how your wedding plans are coming along (oh, and when is your date, now that I mention it?).
