Hey, Cass! Long time no post-together. How are you doing? Did you have a good holiday?

He's wonderful (okay, in a flawed and tragic way but I like that in a character)

Yup, which makes him a great character, but probably a not-so-great spy.

[Edit: and now, 7+2=8+1 and the math homework got a bit advanced when compared to other post #s.]

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

Ooops. I said it wrong. Tom is the worst ever. Adam is the best ever. I'm not fickle, I'm forgetful.

Nilly, this is my last hour or so here. Back to the real world -- boat to Long Beach, and then straight to krav to assist.

Tom is the worst ever. Adam is the best ever.

Oh, I've just seen Adam introduced (beginning of the 3rd season). I'm glad to read that he's good, and now I hope he's as good a character as he is a spy. Also, that the last sentence was indeed in English.

Back to the real world -- boat to Long Beach, and then straight to krav to assist.

At least the return to the real world starts with the part of it that you like, right?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Doing well. The holiday was really nice with lots of family and not much drama. I seem to have missed out on the leftovers though.

I got flattened by a plague-like cold the next morning but am feeling a little better today. I'm taking it as a sign to catch up on shows like MI-5 and napping with the kitties. Puppycat just crawled onto the heating pad I was going to use for my shoulders. She's quite a happy little thief.

How are you doing? It's been ages since we've posted together. Really nice to "see" you.

I think Adam is a great character. Season 3 rocks -- one of my favourite seasons of TV, really.

Today should be good, true. I have to make sure I don't overdo it, is all.

Oh, that's good to read. Holidays don't need drama in them. They should be the parts that nobody would put in the movies, IMHO.

Also, I hope you feel better soon. Um, unless you want to feel nearly-better by tomorrow and have another day off.

As for me, it's the usual. The beginning of the semester, so the usual crazy-running-around. A new roommate - who is really nice, thankfully - and a sort-of Israeli autumn, which means that we had the one really-rainy day in between quite warm ones.

And thanks for asking - it's good to post with you, too!

Season 3 rocks -- one of my favourite seasons of TV, really.

Oh, I've already been looking forward to it, and now even more.

[Edit: 7=1+3+3. The math lesson shifts itself.]

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I had a dream about you, Nilly. We were on a train, and you were showing me some books you had bought at a used book store. One of them was about nuclear power, and I asked to look at it. Inside, it was almost all long equations. You said, "I like that one because it's so dense."

I had a dream about you

Oh, wow! I want to post "Thank you!", but I should probably direct this to the subconscious part of your share of the hivemind, I guess.

Silly question: what was I wearing, if you remember at all? And what were you? It's not a question about fashion. I'm just wondering - and I don't have many opportunities to check this myself - about the way people have images, of themselves and of other people, in their mind. And dreams seem like a good opportunity to check that, since you mostly can't control them, right?

Also, your dream version of me seems much better than my version of me. Do you think she can help me with the paper I'm supposed to read?

[Edit: and 7+1=3+5. D'you think I'm having so much fun with it because "7" and "1" create "17"?]

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Nilly! Glad to hear that your new roommate is still nice and all is well. How long have you lived there now? Are you one of the original people there, or were you once the new roommate yourself, moving into someone else's place and hoping it'd work out for all of you?

That's an excellent dream, Ginger.

The body hacking is great. My own personal favorite wasn't on the list, though: doing the Valsalva maneuver to stop hiccups. Just plain holding my breath never, ever worked for me, but this? Stops 'em dead.

I'll take getting better as quickly as possible. The sooner I get my body and brain back from the bugs, the better.

I'm glad your new roommate is a good match. I would think that it makes things so much easier.

Inside, it was almost all long equations. You said, "I like that one because it's so dense."
That is a very Nilly dream there, Ginger.
