Hi, bug. I'm here for just a few before leaving.

waves

I'm up!

In a work-has-finished kinda way. It's ten to five in the afternoon, my little darlings scampered off home (or to ECAs) at 2.30 and I'm busy marking and cutting and mounting (but, you know, not in a dodgy way).

How much do I love Bangkok? VERY much. It is So. Frigging. Cool. to be able to decide, after a couple of hours, to put the marking on hold for 15 minutes while I nip out of school and buy a Gingerbread Latte and a creamcheese chocolate cookie from Starbucks.

Couldn't do that in Egypt.

Mmmmmmmmmm gingerbread latte!

My sister has a dog named Dude. Is it wrong of me to rename him Deuteronomy in my head?

Because I don't think the nephlet named him, I think the less than brilliant bro-in-law did, and even a flopsy Golden deserves more respect than that.

Still haven't figured out how to butch up their other dog, Kona's name yet.

'Conan' springs to mind. If you want to go the Uberbutch Barbarian route.

Or, if you prefer something a trifle more literary, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

But not Conan O'Brian.

I hate PMS. I had to actually pick music on my nano rather than letting it shuffle, because the songs it was picking kept making me cry. Like Voltaire songs, for example.

I think that MM is going to get a very fun, very well-paying job for Christmas, one that encourages him to use his humor and wit. This was just the necessary karmic setup.

Fay, how is Cairo in January? I think we are going for a week (since we aren't going to get the job there).

Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

Or, should I feel especially punny, Sir Arthur Kona Doyle.

But not Conan O'Brian.

Heh. And get some sleepies now, and get better.

Happy Birthday, Hil!!!

Yes, and I want Aimee to stumble into a job with an agency that regulates whatever industry of the company that just let MM go. There will, of course, be podcasts.

And popcorn.

Oh, Raq. Here's to riding out this hormonal wave.

There's always His Dudeness, or Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

Hee.
