Swouncing

It seems so wrong for you to be having to teach on a Sunday, but then you live in TopsyTurvyLand where Sunday is Very Really Monday

It took me forever to realize that all the "I hate Monday" songs refer to what is known here as "Sunday Bummer-ness" (um, that's a bad translation to a slang word, of course, coming from the military, as so many of the Israeli slang words do).

And it seemed definitely wrong when I had to TA on Fridays (we're not as strict about our Fridays as a weekend day, because we're quite extremely strict about Saturdays).

I spent a full day just running the copier for that badboy

In the I-need-to-do-it-myself-ot-it-won't-get-done-properly spirit, the person who ran the coppier for the proposal did indeed make a mistake. Luckily, it was the easy-to-fix kind of mistake, of photocopying several pages twice (and messing up the order), not the run-to-photocopy-again and risk-being-late kind, so that was not that much of a problem.

When I showed my PhD supervisor the whole thing and he said "so now you're taking it to the Bureaucracy place?" I had to sheepishly admit that my arms are not large enough to carry all the copies, and another student went along with me. I could lift the weight, that was not the problem. But every bag we put the copies in got torn, and I couldn't just wrap my arm around them because, well, not enough arm length.

I need to switch my mind off work before I go out on a blind date tonight. I have about 15 minutes before I have to leave. What should I do? [Edit: Ha! The question answered itself. The time it took me to type this, while not 15 minutes, shortened the time left for anything else, so there you go.]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hi, Nilly!

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

Oh, have a good date, Nilly!

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

The fact that I just scheduled my TiVo online to record that (the TiVo in the next room, on whom I'm going to resume watching Psych just as soon as I take another Imitrex)

I just want to quote this to note I still love Psych! How great is that show!

Today, I spent 5 and a half hours at the hair salon. It was very annoying, but now I have pretty pretty hair.

I want to know more. What takes that long anymore? Multiple dye jobs or perm or straightening or what?

Enjoy your date, Nilly!

Lee, do you have pictures of your pretty pretty hair? Because we want to see.

And Hec - where are the pictures of that freaky cat-thing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, Nilly!

Yeah. Somehow I doubt this is what Lee had going on, but I'm pretty sure it did take that long for my friend to go from long colored brown hair (highlights and lowlights and whatnot) to long blonde hair.

SO LAZY.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And Hec - where are the pictures of that freaky cat-thing?

I'll try to take one today.

It's good fun. Someone on another board said they didn't want to watch it because he's an asshole, but he's not really. He can sure be an ass, though.

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

Oh, I love that show. I keep meaning to set up a season pass but I'm awful at remembering that stuff.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I have a cat in my lap. That is all.
