I think I have plans to go for drinks with at least 3 different groups of people today. Alcoholiday!

yo, flea! There's someone giving out free locopops in front of my building right now.

So who (besides brenda) gets half or all the day off today as a holiday?

Me me me!!!! Woot!!!

I'm mostly excited b/c I *finally* got enough sleep last night! And it's a gorgeous day here, so for the rest of the day I will loaf around and also play outside.

He used to scare students and others into doing what he wanted by always leaving it unclear whether he was "the Dean" or not.

That's so awesome.

I am trying to write a case-study. So far, I have typed up my notes for my other group-mates, in hopes that they will help me. I think I picked the wrong organization to write up.

So, I'm trying to put together the summer semester schedule and I have adjuncts who told me not two weeks ago "Yes, I want to teach this summer. Yes, I want this course at this time on this day." And now that I've sent out my final, "You're confirmed to teach this course at this time on this day and it's going out in the registration bulletin today" they are backing out. Arrrggh. Why are people so flaky? Biscuit-heads.

My father the astronomer hates hates hates the automatic headlights. Why? Because you can't turn them off when approaching an observatory at night, thus risking ruining someone's observation (I spent many evenings in childhood creeping slowly in a dark car up iffy roads towards open domes. ) They finally had to put in a parking lot down the hill after several of the university vehicles came with this feature. It's a rare complaint, I suppose.

People, have you been captivated? The following seems, I dunno, an overstatement? [link]

And so it was on Hudson Street in Greenwich Village yesterday, where the fate of a little cat named Molly has captivated New York and much of America.

Although Roger Clark did make me laugh this morning with a characteristically cheesy "Cat Trapped Fever" joke.

ION, I meant to take some Tylenol on my way out the door this morning, but forgot in the rush. The left side of my body is apparently rebelling or something. My shoulder has been acting up for over a week, I have no idea what's wrong, it just sometimes is sore and sometimes it hurts a lot when I move a certain way, but other times it's fine. I strained a muscle in my thigh sparring in sword class last night and I've got a blister on my heel from my shoes coming untied while walking around the city last weekend. But my right side is completely fine, other than some minor bruising and general soreness from sparring last night.

I was thinking it sounded like a lost Due South ep, especially after the cat therapist and the owner got in a fight.

I was unaware there was that much money to be made in the academic game to be doing that kind of thing, kat. Although, my assumption may be influenced by 2 semesters straight of OMG ACAMDEMIA IN PERIL NO JOBS ANYWHERE AAAIIIEEE discussion.
