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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My qualifying exams are this week. Any exam~ma directed my way for Monday, Wednesday, and Friday would be very much appreciated.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Ooops. Wrong thread. Transfering to Natter.

I was fine when existence had no meaning. Meaninglessness in a universe that has no meaning -- that I get. But meaninglessness in a universe with
meaning? What does that mean?
I have five gmail invitations and no one left to give them to (I've got 26 in total since signing up for gmail!), so if anyone here would like one, e-mail me at cranamy AT savewonderfalls.com.
ETA: Looks like I really had seven, or else gmail just now gave me a couple more. I have two left now; they're still up for grabs.
ETA again: All gone now. Hope those of you who got one enjoy gmail.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Hola. Bay-istas, I am headed your way. Will be in SF 8/28 - 9/1 and Oakland 9/1 - 9/4. I've got two conferences and a bunch of stuff planned, but very much want to do dinner and possibly toodle around the city with whoever is interested. My ticket back is currently for 9/4, but if some kind person wants to host me, I will probably change my ticket home to 9/6 so I actually have time to see the city. Deb returns Monday so dinner would probably be Tues - Friday. I currently have free time Monday morning and Saturday all day until I leave, and may ditch a couple of sessions (if I don't stay longer).
(I know there's a Bay-ista list but am slammed at work and freaking and can't find how to join it.)
Lodging offers and suggestions for dinner, etc., entertained at my profile addy. I know you can't tell from my tone, but I am sooo looking forward to this trip. I'd be swouncing if I had the energy.

move out and draw fire
Hi. I'm still alive, sort of, but I'm going an even darker shade of dark, if that's possible. We're leaving for Oregon tomorrow to deal with the stubborn grandfather, visit family before leaving the country, and hopefully buy property. After getting back, we will be packed out and living in a hotel until we depart for Greece...so most likely the next time you see me, I'll be in Greece!
