You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Posted this in Bitches, but what the hey. I passed my final exam. I am now a Chartered Financial Analyst Charterholder, and once again I have rendered my brand spanking new business cards obsolete within the first three months of receiving them.

And with any luck that's the last one for a few years at least.

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

I'm going to be mostly really dark grey for the next week and a half or so. I'll still be checking email, but won't be on the board much, if at all.

If I only had a brain...

Going dark for a bit; visiting family. Should be back next week.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

a little travel ma headed in matt's direction -- we got to the airport and -- there was some strangeness with his ticket. like it was supposed to be paper , or not in the computer or something. straightened out fairly quickly - but not quite quickly enough to keep all the evil thoughts of what he would have to do if he wet back to work...Let that be the worst of his adventures , please.

I bop to Wittgenstein. -- Nutty

For those of you who are following Am-Chau vs. the education system from home, the latest round: in English, A; in religious studies, B. I fluffed one paper and my coursework could have been better. Details in my lj.

While I'm here, just to let you know I'll be away for the next week-- holiday, not anything to do with the exam results.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.

A bit of low-grade health-ma requested this way. I have been diagnosed with tendonitis, generally, although more testing will nail this down more precisely - my money is on deQuervain's disease, but we shall see.

Anyway, it's fairly advanced, possibly to the point of being permanently disabling. This is going to be a long process, and I don't want to take up all the ~ma, but just a little bit for good luck would be nice.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I'll be going dark (well, darker) over the next week or so, as I'm moving Monday and Tuesday, and Apple still hasn't replaced my friggin' computer. I'll try to check my email, though.

Still more health-ma over here. I seem to have gotten myself a nasty nasty ear infection, bad enough that I CAN'T HEAR ANYTHING in my right ear. Well, except the voices.

Not a good week for the Black-Nosed Wizard, it seems.

My qualifying exams are this week. Any exam~ma directed my way for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday would be very much appreciated.
