heeyyyyyyyy... looks like I got an A on my exam and my spring class! Thanks for y'all's encouragement, and to Ginger and Deena, thanks for rescuing my papers from the crazy birdsnests of random thought they tend to be.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Yikes, Cashmere.
I need some advice. A guy that I'm kind of friendly with, who I haven't seen in about a year, is going to be in town next weekend, and he sent out an email to a bunch of his DC friends, asking if people wanted to get together sometime. I'd like to see him, but I'm just about positive that one of the other people he asked is this guy that I was seeing for a little while, and I really don't want to see him. (Not that I don't like him, just that it would be incredibly awkward.) It would probably be just like four or five people, so not a group size where I could avoid him. Any suggestions? I'm leaning toward just going and dealing with the awkwardness, but it'll be REALLY awkward.

Cashmere, I am so relieved that you and your family are safe.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Go, Hil. if you have mutual friends, it is better to face him sooner , rather than later. Just think of a really good excuse to leave if it gets/stays awkward

Of course you did.
(It was great to meet you.)
I skipped a million posts and I have the F2F crud. There's a giant snotmonster in my sinuses.

All is well that ends in pizza.
I have the F2F crud
Wow, it's like a mini version of the "new workplace" crud, or the spread of bugs with the advances of travel that led to the whole "never trust strangers" attitude among.....
Okay, I over extrapolated again. I think I hurt something this time.
Maybe it's time for steak. I wonder if the winds have died down enough for the grill...

Artificial sweeteners speed alcohol into blood
LOS ANGELES (Reuters Health) - Alcoholic drinks made with artificial sweeteners lead to a high rate of alcohol absorption, resulting in a greater blood alcohol peak and concentration than from drinks made with sugar-based mixers.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Huh. I almost always drink diet soda, except I can't stand the tast of diet soda mixed with booze and must use the sugared kind.

Go, Aimee! Learn!
Congrats on your A, Nora!
Cashmere, I'm so glad you and yours are safe. Very scary.
Hil, I would advise you not to miss out on seeing someone whose company you enjoy, and whose presence will only be fleeting. The older I've gotten (and the longer I am out of school) the more my friends have scattered, and I wish it didn't happen that way. Grab the opportunity. (Guess who is missing the F2F crowd and sorry she didn't spend more time with people?)
Work is going to kil me ded tomorrow. Too many meetings, and too much work likely to result from those meetings. Please stop the clock now, while I am home in my comfy clothes, please.
