I got into grad school!
Come this fall, I'll be enrolled in the Master of Liberal Arts program at the University of St. Thomas. Whoo!
That's my girl... That's my good girl.

Yay, Dana!
I'm going dark for a week for a vacation to the Grand Canyon. Also, I have a job interview the day after I get back, so if you have any vibes you were going to toss anyway. . .

All is well that ends in pizza.
Moving from Press:
Both my neice (neck) and my friend (back) have had successful surguries and are already out of the hospital, recovering at home. The neck I expected, sending home a back patient? Not so much.
It will be a while before my friend with the back surgury knows if the walking part is going to happen.

Not to burden anyone with down news but merely to explain in case I vanish for a bit: Joanne's father has been very ill for several years, and critically ill since February. 18 days ago Joanne made the decision to have his feeding tube stopped, but though we expected death to follow rapidly, amazingly (and really, unfortunately) he continues to hang on. However the end is clearly near, and it is quite possible he'll die on Tuesday (in which case I'll catch a taped version of the final Buffy as soon as I'm able). So if I don't chime in on the last episode Tuesday or Wednesday, that will be why.
If the Buffistas care to send any vibes, vibe that he doesn't die next Friday, which is J's birthday. It would be a shitty thing for her to have to think of his dying every birthday from here on.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Going dark for the next four days. While DH is doing actuarial convention stuff, I'll be lying on the beach drinking rum drinks and net access is an unknown factor.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Grayer than expected -- so if some one needs to get a hold of me ( say Kat about F2F money) email is best

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Anyone feeling like giving constructive criticism on my resume, I have it in pdf format at this web page:
Click on "resume in pdf format."
Or the resume in word .doc format can be found if you copy the link and change .pdf to.doc.
I just don't put a link straight to my .doc file for a semi-secure-don't-want-editable-version-being-circulated-maliciously reason.
Call me paranoid.

I am desperately looking for an .mp3 accompaniment track for Petula Clark's "Downtown". For my boss's retirement part we would like to sing a 'filk' she wrote to that tune about our department, but I am a little scared of lots of tuneless people trying to sing downtown without anything keeping us together! I don't even know where to begin. If anyone has any hints, please e-mail me a ntlr at rochester dot edu.
Thanks!
