BWAH! Has anyone else seen the commercial that TBS is running for LotR, where it's a Sam N Frodo 4EvaH!!1! montage set to the song "Secret Lovers"? I swear to you this is real: [link]

And -- ahahahaha!!! -- TBS is also running a "Studs of Middle Earth" commercial: [link]

And -- ::snerk:: -- "It Sucks to Be Frodo": [link]

Looks I'll be picking ND up at LAX around 2AM. I get on a bus to go camping/canoeing with 135 freshmen at 6:30AM. I'm going to feel lucky if I get a nap before then.

ka-thump

Kristin, do you want the link to the flight tracker?

eta: I see from Beep Me I was too late.

dcp, thanks, but at the moment I am sitting in LAX. He got in at 3AM. His bag did not. He is now standing in a line of about 70 people to file a claim. At this point I'm just hoping I get home in time to catch the bus. Sucks for him, too—he's got a huge install at a school tomorrow and Tuesday that can't be canceled (he has a crew of 6 already there), so he's got a two-hour drive to look forward to in about five hours.

My dark time begins as soon as I leave the house (assuming I get back to the house) at 6.

Oh, poor Gloomcookie and ND and Kristin with the airport waitage.

Also, you probably won't see this, but good luck, Kristin! I hope you're able to catch some zzzzzzs on the bus. (I know...yeah, right!)

Teppy and Jars and flea are all too sweet for words. Oh, and billytea too! I'm so glad that the meeting with foster mom went so well.

Poor Daniel and ChiKat with the late workage. Craziness. It's been a rough time here in Bitches, and I declare that things get better for everyone.

My Emily is so cute. She's trying to get out the door to school, and she just asked me to do her "a big favor." That big favor was fixing her a to-go cup of coffee. Silly girl. I get up in the morning to help her get out the door. I certainly don't get up at this time for my health!

And, she's off!

ION, I was gonna go to school today to accomplish three things: 1) start talking my way up the food chain in Financial Aid; 2) pass things off at work and give my boss his baby present; 3) go to math. But, what I forgot is that I have a 2:20pm appointment with my doctor, and before that, J and I are taking my DigiTrace equipment back to the DigiTrace office in Braintree. So, no school today. Maybe I'll go by tomorrow. Or maybe I'll just wait till Wednesday. We'll see. I want to get all of this started, though.

Good morning vw. When will you hear something about the DigiTrace?

I have a frantic Monday planned. Brendon heads to Detroit 6:50pm flight and we have about 5 days worth of stuff that has to be done before he leaves. Eeeeeeeek!

When will you hear something about the DigiTrace?

I'm guessing at least a week. I'll ask when I drop stuff off today.

Gronklies.

I just taught a class, where every time I turned around to write something on the board, I'd hear a few students giggling. As soon as I turned back, they stopped. Extremely disconcerting.

Oh, Hil, that's awful. Bad students. No cookies.

It is decided! Wallybee and I are going to stay a night in the Dandenongs over Easter. We'll be staying at a B&B that promises 5 acres of landscaped gardens, a national park as a backdrop, and the possibility of kookaburras visiting your balcony.

I'm looking forward to it very much. I rather think that WB is too.
