Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

How long would your commute be, Sophia?

Another factor is how often the buses are late. And do you ever have to deal with drunken passengers that fall asleep and lean on your shoulder....

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sophia, are you still doing the theater? In my mind there was some discussion where you had decided headache vs. income was not worth it.

I'd say try out the bus for a while, while still having the car.

Of course long-term I'd say/suggest looking for jobs at universities in warmer climates and possibly with better transportation.

PS, Could Geologist V. Astronomer be the next Caveman V. Astronaut?

They could have a big fight and throw plutons at each other, while on a Pluton....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Could Geologist V. Astronomer be the next Caveman V. Astronaut?

Aha. I thought you meant that like Workbook G. Cunts or something. Spam has ruined my brain.

Yesterday was migraine-free, although not pre-migraine free. So the upped meds may be some use.

This morning I'm squarely pre-migraine, and my day is 4 meetings deep, three before lunch. Which means no rest inbetween.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

If the astronomers get to throw their plutons, I don't see the geologists lasting very long. On the other hand, geologists can actually throw their plutons without the aid of specialized technology.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Ha! It's real-life Caveman v. Astronaut!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Would you be allowed to use University buses?

Yes I can. And they haven't announced the routes for the school year yet, so there may be even more options once that happens.

Of course long-term I'd say/suggest looking for jobs at universities in warmer climates and possibly with better transportation.

Of course, I am thinking-- Alaska! I actually love the cold, but Rochester, as Tom can attest, is just particularly nasty and gross.

I think the thought will be to try this for a month and see what the what is. In that time, I should pray my car doesn't break, and in fact, I might save enough money to fix it up, since I won't be randomly stopping for dinner on my way home, etc. I was also thinking of taking a trip to the ginourmous food store and buying a lot of non-perishable groceries to tide me over.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

sounds like a good plan Sophia - and if it snows before you decide - dig out your car so it oesn't become an ice lump. and start it every so often ( once a week?) to make sure it keeps running.

The evil is this way?

"In celebration of your life-change"?

Of course, that sounds like it's for a Wookie....

Hee. It sounds a little to me like she's entering a convent. Which she's not.

Narrator-- how about Best Wishes?

Oh, I like that!

How about AU REVOIR!?

Without the ?.

This, too!

Narrator, you could say Congatulations or We'll miss you (or don't pop any corn).

Hee. "Enjoy your new job. Stay away from the micowave."

Off to do work. And then order cake.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Anyone watch Prison Break last night? I'm pleased they killed off Robin Tunney and liking the Fichtner.
