Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But he was marinading in the vodka sauce at the time

The next day, hungover, he still agreed. Except he kept making noises about a movie version.

Allyson, I love your tagline. I've only noticed it because both Tom and ita's taglines looked like they're not in English, right there one after the other, so then my eyes sort-of automatically checked yours, and I thought it's lovely and true.So, thanks, foreign languages, I guess.

For posterity:

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots. -Thurgood Marshall

I need to get out of bed. Don't want to.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I think I am ordering an iBook today. MEEP!

Yay! I fully endorse the purchase of iBooks.

As do I! msbelle, do is your new job at another school? (I can't remember -- sorry.) Because if it is, you're likely eligible to Apple's education discount.

is not, it at a for-profit start-up. I sold out to the man. Turns out the man, not that bad.

The whole package that I want is less than $1500 from Apple, so that's not bad.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I went to the post office to find out why I haven't been getting my proper mail after the hold was put on (probably about four pieces, all told, in a week), and they told me to call my carrier. Turns out my regular carrier was on vacation last week, but she's back now, and will make sure I get my mail.

What the hell sort of system is that, where I need to talk to the carrier, and her replacement can't get me my fucking mail? Hell, I went to a dinner yesterday whose invitation I have not yet received. That's crap.

I thought the loss of three month's worth of mail when I moved from MI (including cheques) was a one-off thing, but this is two mail holds in a row where service got fucked.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Teppy, any dad news?

He's having an angiogram at this very moment (angiogram #2 in less than 1 week), to see what's what. Hopefully they can figure out what the "some things" are that are "in the back" of his heart. I'm going over there (the hospital is 10 minutes from my office) in about half an hour.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

ita, when I was in NYC for one summer and moved back to A2, they held my mail for weeks and claimed it was because they wouldn't deliver to my mailbox without a label on it. The name label had fallen off. WTF kind of policy is that-- they're delivering to my new mailbox with an old label on it ok.
