Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Emily! I thought maybe they didn't have the internets in your neighborhood, any more.

Oh, they have it (intermittently); I just don't get around to the posting very much. I've been checking in from time to time, just often so braindead that I don't have much to say. But I miss, you know, people!

How is your place? Your job? What did you do for the holidays?

My place is crowded and very messy -- a combination of no time and really not much inclination to clean. My neighborhood seems to be essentially Mos Eisley without the fun aliens. My school... god, don't even go there. Not a good week for it. And I went to Paris over Christmas! So that was nice. Spent Christmas even trying to explain in broken, drunken French why my students have to take two math classes and two language arts classes and are still way below grade level. Also about what it means not to have nationalized health care. This was not in my high school French classes! "Si nous n'avons pas l'insurance, et il faut que nous allons a l'hopital, nous devons payer -- payer? yeah? -- depuis nous n'avons rien d'argent. Rien! Alors, le gouvernement payent." I'm not sure it made sense even in English, but hey -- drunk!

If I knew that, I'd forgotten. How wonderful. Wait. Did you go with your dad?

Aye. I didn't take French, but I see your French is just about where my Spanish is -- I still know many words that resemble English words!

Oh and that reference? Whoooooooooooooooooshed over my head.

Yup!

"You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious." It's from Star Wars. I'm a big geek.

Okay, I did know. Maybe you mentioned it in a brief stop-in here, or in LJ.
A wretched hive of scum and villainy.
In SF, or fiction, or Somerville, Paris, or where?

Luckily, the body count is so very high from season to season on 24, you barely have to know anything about what's happened with the characters previously to be able to follow a new season....
