I was so planning on staying here and grading the last of my portfolios only the student turned in a paper that didn't print out properly and consequently I can't read it. Oh well. Guess that means I get to go home, right?
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
OMG, this is the funniest thread title since, well, the last one.Right there with you.
Sonofabitch. Just realized that my new insurance replacement phone will be here sometime tomorrow and will need to be signed for. Which doesn't so much mesh with my being in Orange County tomorrow.
As much as Verizon's customer service has shockingly improved and made me much less cranky about cell stuff, the insurance company they use sucks stinky feet.
Let this be a lesson, equipment failure is okay but murdering your phone is going to cost you actual money and will take your last bit of patience. So, when in doubt, let the phone die naturally because the evangelicals are just not going to be happy about the mercy kill.

Y'all. Seriously, snow. in. Texas.
Poor little Ozymandias (spelling it out so as not to confuse with similarly named buffista pets). His belly is so close to the ground he got a nasty shock when I let him out. Also...Home early!!! Because of SNOW. IN. TEXAS.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Aargh! As if the amount of overtime G's been doing over the last few months isn't bad enough, he's been ordered to work this weekend. We're supposed to go to Philcon this weekend. I can still go, but that means I'd have to drive to Philadelphia and back by myself. Not to mention that I'm unsure if I would enjoy myself much without him. Yes, there will be a bunch of people I know there, but it's not the same.(Not to mention that unless he puts something in his LJ explaining the situation I'm gonna end up having to answer the question "Where's G?" a lot) If I don't go, I'm out the cost of the membership, and G says he'd feel guilty if I didn't go. Aargh, what to do...

Can you find anybody to rideshare up there? Or go by train or something?

Can you find anybody to rideshare up there? Or go by train or something?Train's kinda expensive, plus I'll have my guitar with me. Unfortunately, the only folks i know of who I reading up there from the DC-area aren't going directly back.(Visiting relatives)

Neat address I just came across when putting someone in our database. I'm utterly charmed:
Person's Name
Organization
High Lighthouse, Tayport, Fife, Scotland
I think I must someday live there, just to go around telling people my address.
Also - the other address I have for him is C/O Project Atlantis!

I should have taken a picture of my cat watching me wrap retirement gifts this morning. After I kicked her out of lying on top of the wrapping paper and pulled the paper from her teeth, she jumped up to her usual "hanging out" platform on her condo (about 5 1/2 feet up) and hung her head off the edge watching me wrap. Her ears were perked up in complete fascination and her eyes were huge in excitement, and her paws and tail were dangling over the edge.
When I put up the Christmas tree tomorrow, she's going to flip out.
