t whine, again So, if any of you have "you'll finish this, and on time, and words will find ways to tie together to form a sentence that actually has meaning" vibes to spare, could you please direct them over the ocean? Thanks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sending vibes, Nilly, but it's 2:30am where you are. Perhaps writing will be easier after a night's sleep? What time is it due?

Always Anti-fascist!

Skipping cause Nilly's not in Bitches and I thought my tagging her might amuse.

What time is it due?

It's due tomorrow morning. I still need to bind the stuff (4 different batches) and get some necessary signatures. And I TA on 1pm, so everything simply has to be finished until then. Before then, because I have to finish preparing the lesson. Which I couldn't have even tried to prepare before this evening, because that's when I finally got hold of the professor in order to hear what he wants me to do.

OK. Deep breaths. I can do this. In fact, I may take a breal in writing, read a bit from the material for the lesson, make sure I at least know what's the frame of what I want to do for the class, and then return to writing.

[Edited to tell erika that it worked! Amusement (especially self-directed) was indeed achieved. Thanks!]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Sending lots of "you can do this" vibes Nilly-ward.

Thanks, you guys.

It's amazing. Everybody I know here is fast asleep. I can't even go to any building in the university to find a vending machine, they're all locked (the buildings, not the machines. In fact, I don't know what's going on with the machines, because the buildings that have them are locked). And still I know that I'm not fighting uphill alone. You guys are the best.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You can do it, Nilly!

I'm going home now, which means that this #&^$@&$ day is finally over.

Yay.

Steven Spielberg speaks with Der Spiegel [link]

SPIEGEL: With Jaws you, Mr. Spielberg, took the fun out of bathing for millions of people. Did you never feel guilty about that?

Spielberg: Not at all! On the contrary, I was impishly pleased.

And now is the time on Sprockets when we dance...
