Hell, David, you've known me since *SFNet* days. Which is where I assume you developed your fondness for the Orbit Room... Thanks for letting folks know I'm not an axe-murderess. Can't wait 'til you and JZ move over to this side o' the Bay.

Gronk.

Gronklies.

I am so not awake. Must shower and go to class. Even though I feel very comfortable about the topics we're discussing today (circles and symmetry). I should still go.

Shower. Yup. Going. Now. See me go.

Gronk.

Woke up at 6:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I made breakfast, and watched some TV, and still in that sort of "I should be asleep, but I'm not" state.

I'm trying to plan a trip to Vermont [well, I'm thinking about planning, which is the first step]

perks up

Hm! If this trip is a little more easy going than the last (what with the wedding and family madness and all) maybe, just maybe, I can get my ass up to Vermont (oh TWIST MY ARM) and spend a little more time at your bro's place...

hmmmm.

Many, many hairpats for Cindy and Plei.

I woke up and my body hurts too much to stay in bed. still very tired. hope to head to bedagain soon. no work again for me

OK, this is weird. I feel like I'm having an allergic reaction to something -- my lips and tongue are kind of itchy, and my lungs feel congested. But I have no idea what this could be reacting to. I just woke up, and I haven't eaten anything unusual yesterday or today. (Also, I'm fairly certain that my only food allergy is pineapple, which I know I haven't eaten.) But this keeps getting worse, and now my eyes are itchy too.

I think I'll take some Benadryl and see what happens. This is bothersome, though.

Tep, insent to hotmail. Is that a WAY old address?

Need caffeine.

Good morning, my gronkly gorgeous ones.

Nora, she doesn't check that one as often--I have one I can pass on to you if you want to ping me at the profile addy.

I spilled coffee all over myself in the car on the way to work this morning. I am not developing a great track record with morning coffee, am I? But I want to use this great mug amyth gave me, which I do in defiance of spilling.

The idea of a rap about Moby Dick amuses me.

Hairpats and cabana boys for Cindy and Plei.

My car: The fuel pump went kaput. Just wham, stopped working. The DH said he might've noticed a slight drop in power the day before, but only at the outside range of perception, and I didn't notice anything. So, we have to get a new fuel pump, which probably means ordering one from the States, because although the car was built in Germany it's to US specs.

This would all be under warranty if we lived in the States.

Of the good, Captain JetLag was only up until 2:30 last night, rather than 4:00. I'm not nearly as jetlagged as I thought I'd be, maybe because I've basically been lagging for the last year.

P-C, I met a lovely Indian girl about your age on my flight (actually I met 3, but one stood out as being awesome). I totally should've talked you up to her and her parents...except they were on their way back to India, where they live. But that's details; I think I'll carry your photo and email addy with me to give out, just in case.
