Nilly! Guess what? In a couple of summers, I'm going to be in Israel! The school that just hired me out in LA is a private Jewish high school, and they send any of the their faculty who are interested over to Israel to expand their understanding of Jewish history and culture. It's a ways off, yet, but I'm excited!
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Kristin! Go you! That's wonderful news.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Big crazy move, Kristin! Congratulations!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Congratulations, Kristin!
Eek, you just reminded me that I have about seventy things to do before I go to Israel that I haven't done yet.
Today, I am continuing my quest for a dress to wear to a friend's wedding. My plan was, if I couldn't find something that was modest enough on it's own, I'd find a dress that was long enough and with a high enough neckline, but sleeveless, and then wear a sweater or a jacket over it, but just about everything in the stores this season is way too low-cut.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Congrats, Kristin!

Awesome news, Kristin, even if you'll be far away from the Somervillains.

Swouncing
The last couple of hours were like River in "Ariel" when they were running away from the blue-gloved meanies - "almost there, almost there, almost there" - TAing, with hard-working students who kept me for nearly an hour after the lesson for questions about the material - "almost there, almost there - " - - - "there".
I handed it in. I didn't proofread it at all. My brain finished its transformation into goo when I exploited my last bits of energy on the students. I just couldn't proofread anything. Couldn't read. The thought of reading anything right now seems like an effort, including my own post (reading? an effort? is it actually me, or was I really kidnapped by aliens? For my defence, I've been working on this for a few weeks, and straight with hardly any sleep since Sunday, but still, reading - an effort?).
I just had to post to y'all that it's handed in and done. Tomorrow I will probably not understand how it's possible to hand something in without proofreading it. But I won't do it then, even though - or because - I'm pretty sure I'll find at least a few ugly typos. But it's done now, anyway, so no point in - oh, insert cliche here, I don't think I remember any right now.
Going home to sleep. Will catch up tomorrow - Kristin, I'll definitely re-read what you had to say, it looks like something good.
Thanks for all the support, you guys. Day and Night and Day. Natter well without me!

Congrats on the job Kristin.
Hope-ma that Nilly finally got some sleep.
Jon Stewart was back on TV with a new episode of The Daily Show last night, so all is better in my little world....
Also, according to my TV guide, there's a new GOOD EATS at 10 pm tonight. New Jon and Alton. Woohoo! Now if only THE INSIDE started this week instead.
