Nonsense! They carry Swiss Army knives! Big ones! The Tick would never lie.

But Steph, the Swiss Industrial Spies' actions in no way reflect those of the government of Switzerland.

Here's the book I'm currently reading:

I think it's pretty good. I was looking for something about cosmology that deals with accelerating expansion of the Universe and this really doesn't hit that mark, but is still pretty interesting. I had covered a lot of the quantum stuff back in college in a lot more detail, but I forget just how weird it is.

Congrats, Jesse! Could you say something to your boss like, "I'm happy to stay on for two weeks while you find a replacement--do you have anyone lined up?" or something? Offer the two weeks so he knows you're not leaving him in the lurch, but also give him the chance to tell you that he's already hired your replacement, and thus let you leave.

Meanwhile, I have THREE WEEKS left at my job, and it is kinda weird. I have a ton of schoolwork to get through in that time, so it's gonna be a whirlwind few weeks until the 17th (last day of class), and then nothing until Feb. 2nd, when my next semester starts. I got my financial aid package, and it'll cover my living expenses, so I don't even need to get a job. I'll try to pick up some freelance editorial work, but otherwise I've got nothing to do for a month and a half. woo!

ita, that reminds me to pitch Colin to Popgurls.

Also, cough. sniffle. cough

That's AWESOME, Kate.

NOBODY IS SICK. I decree it.

Thanks for the Peeps links! That's the new thing I learned today, and it's far more fun than anything that was mentioned in the lecture I had to listen to in the morning.

Also, Jesse, I Yayed you in my previous post's Edit, and I pretty much said what Kate just said.

otherwise I've got nothing to do for a month and a half. woo!

To me, this means: a 9000-at-least-pieces jigsaw puzzle. But, yay, Kate! Do you have anything specific you want to do in that time, other than the obvious relaxing you deserve?

Oh, Nilly, I was thinking of you over the weekend while trying to do a jigsaw puzzle.

Yay me! How big was it? What was the picture?

Currently I'm doing a 9000-pieces puzzle of the tower of Babel which belongs to a friend. I have to do it in halves, because my whole room isn't big enough for the full size one. Luckily, the manufactors thought about it and sold it in two seperate bags for each half.

I have decided to give notice at my hated job on Thursday.

Yay!

I went back to sleep! Yay me.

Still ignoring my sore throat. Sounds like Allyson should join me in ignoring.

Also, cough. sniffle. cough

NOOOO.

A puppy just rubbed his face all over my wet hair. It was cute. But it's dry now and so I'm being ignored again.
