Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I forgot to share one thing from my trip up north.
You know what's a bit unsettling? Being in a rental car in the middle of the curvy section of CA-17 south and suddenly realizing, "hey all of those lights and mileage indicators and that stuff on the dash board and radio that used to be lit up aren't there anymore."
Woot! Looks like tomorrow will be the day I finally get together with the Hot Latin Guy that I've been trying to cross schedules with for more than a month now. We talked on the phone tonight, got along very well, and both of us have a free afternoon with no parental obligations later today.
Certainly takes the sting out of the mildly disastrous hook-up I had with a fellow traveller on my day trip to Nashville Wednesday. Though I suppose treating myself to dinner at the Cascades after we parted company already muted the disappointment somewhat.
In other news, it is very odd to eat lunch in a cubbyhole facing a life-size oil painting of Sheriff Bufford T. Pusser with his actual bat hanging on the wall beside it. The vibe was "Clean your plate, boy, or I'll beat the shit out of you!"
Okay, also? Internet is evil. In searching for information on Gauss's Disquisitiones Arithmeticae, I found a listing for a first edition, 1801. 38,000 pounds.
Wow, heavy book.
blah The dog threw up (at least on the tile), and one of my big house plants has mealybugs. I think I should take my coffee cup and go back to bed.
Laura, I second that motion. Can I go home from work now, too? I know it's only 9AM, but I'm really sleepy and grouchy.
Me too. For some reason, I couldn't fall asleep until about 3:30 last night, and I had to get up at 7:15 today.
Hil, I give us both permission to go home. Work. Please. Pshaw. My alarm went off at 5:45, and I actually hit it. I'm not normally that violent.
I've got another class to teach in 10 minutes. At least they've got a quiz today, so it's just 25 minutes of teaching and 25 minutes of reading while they do the quiz.
I enjoyed Eyes.
Much better than the ads would have you believe. It's dark and funny.
and I actually hit it. I'm not normally that violent.
You are more of a morning person than I...
Woke up at some point last night with one of my weird back spasm/cramp thingies. Whatever I did to make it go away seemed to have worked, as it is only a minor twinge when I move funny now. Now if I could just remember what I did to get rid of it, that would be great. Normally I just move carefully and whine for 24 hours.
