I beat the appointment by less than a week. God, I'm grateful to have been spared that.

Lucky.

yes, I'm still bitter. My gyn played soccer with my dad's grad students. Yeah, NOT WHAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS.

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

God, that's horrific. Reminds me of when my sister showed up to work at the Jamaican Foreign Service and was greeted by women who'd babysat her. Boundaries!

There's a krav birthday party tonight. Cool guy--he assists me twice a week, and he was adamant I book time.

But I've been kravving all day (till almost 7) and I'm tired and grumpy and it's RAINING.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

and dinner was very tasty tonight. Did a spicy cabbage stir fy ( out of the latest fine cooking) to go with our thai yellow curry chiken ( sauce out of a package) and it was a very tasty dinner. Chcolate cake later.

Last night we had the buffista dinner of choice- wine and cheese. DH was dissapointed we couldn't have it again , until we had dinner.

God, that's horrific.

Given I had a crush on one of the students at the time and she freaking mentioned him and how crushworthy he was...yeah. Although my attitude was more WTF, OUCH and UHG. It's more in retrospect that I'm disturbed. At least I was of an age to take these things more in stride, right?

(FTR, said student left the field, became a magician and the rejoined the field in museums. I only know this cause the 'rents told me. Not googling.)

OK, I just googled said student because I couldn't recall what position he'd taken and, um...hey, wow, he hasn't aged well. And his position is way more woohoo than I'd thought.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I'm watching the most ridiculous L&O:SVU ever. The victim is a Tibetan torture victim, now in the US in an immigration marriage to a gay man, but it turns out she got killed by a foot fetishist whose house she went to by accident, whose defense is brain injury, which I think I'm about to find out was actually caused by his mother.

Seriously.

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

Apparently the writers got into the good monkey crack....

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I was watching that same SVU, Jesse. It wasn't quite as bad as the one from a few years ago, where they kids whose father had been killed in Iraq and mother disappeared in Katrina were kidnapped by a pedophile who soon therafter died from anthrax, but pretty close.

Now I'm watching skating. How come only the womens' long program is on a broadcast channel, and everything else is over on ESPN2? It's Nationals! At least also put the mens' long program on a regular channel.

(And, ooh. Never seen Scott Smith before, but he's really cute. He hasn't started his program yet, so I don't know how well he skates.)

How wrong is it that this shit just makes me laugh and laugh?
