I have been watching Bleak House. Many of the names are still gibberish to me (did authors contemporary to Dickens make names up the way he did? I assume they're made up, or that most of the people whose names he stole died out rather than breed), but the faces and relationships are good enough for me to keep track.

Judy---shake me up.

Kat -- I had to make a recording choice against Everwood. I'm not sure now what show that was in favor of, because I'm not sure what night Everwood is on, anymore.

I distinctly recall thinking "I am over teen angst. Give me something new."

Kat, I still watch Everwood every week, but I haven't seen the recent one yet. It's sitting on my Tivo, all lonesome.

Board time is nigh 2AM on a Sunday. K-T might still be awake.

The Aussies are just now drinking tea and wondering if coherence is a possible thing.

I am still awake. I spent the past five hours getting my books in order (finance books, not the fun kind), paying bills, and taking care of some address changes and school emails.

I was very productive, but now I'm utterly exhausted. Not really looking forward to packing up my entire apartment tomorrow.

How are you?

Sleepless.

I missed the part where you had to move. Man, that sucks! What is that about?

Oh Gus, so much more of a story than I can even tell right now. Short version is a zoning violation. Owner's ripping out my bathroom to avoid huge city fines, so I had to go. New place will be nice, but it's not quite ready yet. Limbo.

Sorry you're sleepless too.

Everyone is sleeping but me, which means I have full license to vent.

OK.

I weep for our earnest young men who are losing their innocence in Iraq.

Oh yes. Very much so. Many of my former students are over there now. I hate it.

ETA: And on that note, time to try to get some sleep. Goodnight all.

Thanks, Kritstin, for making some sense of my post.

Outliving your students is just wrong.

Crimeny, I can be a gloomy dude, when I put my mind to it, can't I?
