I'm off to Hawaii, where I plan to leave the TV off as much as possible. See y'all in a week!

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm back from my long weekend. Jane Espenson is FUCKING BRILLIANT!! And adorable. She talks purty, too ;) There's a picture of us if I can ever get it uploaded.

brillig
jobma, please, for me tomorrow as I go over to the hospital's library and inquire about a job there. The young man who's called me mom for over a decade and whose children call me Grandma knows the woman in charge of that library, and she's retiring and looking for a replacement. I'm about to print up my resume, and I'm taking the day off tomorrow to go investigate.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I'm leaving tomorrow morning for an NC Writer's Residency. No net access, but I will try to check email at the library. I should be back Friday evening. Wish me inspiration and concentration in equal measure.

Going mostly gray for I am not sure how long. Email will be the best way to communicate with me. Profile address is good.

The last of my college letters arrived today. I got in to Franklin & Marshall; waitlisted by Muhlenberg and Dickinson. I'm kind of annoyed at Dickinson, since they already deferred me once. Since I didn't love F&M and really kind of applied just to apply, I guess the choice is between Gettysburg and Washington. I like them both a lot, but Washington has the better creative writing program and wants to give me money. On the other hand, it's in the middle of freaking nowhere. Decisions, decisions...

If I only had a brain...
Mail from the legendary Brian T., author of the Vampire Ecology paper:
I've been out of sight for a while, but I'm finally done with grad school, and I really ought to start lurking again. I've dropped by the Phoenix board, and it is as gorgeous as I thought it would be.
I'd be delighted to have someone host the vampire ecology thing. Stanford canned all of my pages when they caught on to the fact that I'd graduated. Ironically, they did this about a week after the vampire ecology piece got mentioned at the top of the Slashdot's front page. I had never received 1400 emails in two days, and I don't care to ever again:)
So, I'm attaching the essay as a .pdf file (I haven't found any other way to let everyone see the equations reliably) for you to host and/or distribute. I fixed a typo. Typos in text can be trivial, but a typo in an equation confuses a lot of people, 1400 of whom appear to be professionally grumpy and read Slashdot. So I changed the plus sign to a minus sign, and now all seems well. I also added an exciting analogy to the beloved Fisher Price "Weebles" toys of my youth!
Let me know if there's anything else I can help with, and if there are any folks who remember me, pass this along and let them know I said "hi", by which I mean "porn".
(I'm going to ask in BBaBB about the best place to host the PDF.)

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated
I am being admitted to the hospital today for my back injury -- partially for pain management, and partially for treatment of the back injury. I have no idea how long I'll be there, but I will call a handful of Buffistas with updates and let them know what's going on, so they can pass it on to all 'yall.
So, back-fixy vibes would be most appreciated.
