Oh, okay. I agree, I was just afraid I was missing something. I don't always focus my whole brain on every episode.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
On the Amtrak thing from a while back, I take the train between DC and NJ fairly often, and it's definitely faster than driving. When my father drives me from our house in NJ to my apartment in DC, it generally takes around 5 hours, more if there's a lot of traffic. It takes 45 minutes to drive from our house to the train station in NJ, then 2 1/2 - 3 hours on the train, and maybe 15 minutes from the train station to my apartment.
I sometimes take a plane, but once I factor in the extra time to get to the airport, get though security, wait at the gate, get to the exit of Newark Airport, spend 20 minutes on cell phones with my mom as she drives in circles around the airport trying to find me (not allowed to just park outside and wait), and drive to the house from the airport, it takes just about as long as a train. Plus, way more hassle, IMO.

Damn it. I think I just tripped a circuit or something by trying to use my microwave and George Forman grill at the same time. Or, at any rate, something happened and they both lost power. (Nothing else lost power. They were plugged into the same outlet.) I think maybe the grill overheated -- there was a bit of a burned plastic smell.
Guess I need to talk to the super about it. I'll do that tomorrow morning -- dinner's done, so I don't really need the microwave until tomorrow.

I've been working at this university for 13 years. Yikes!
Not at the same job - but still.

As you all no doubt are waiting on the next installment in the Ongoing Saga of My Feet, I can now report that Yes, Virginia, there was indeed a shard of glass in My Left Foot. I have extracted the wee beast, and now I shall take a celebratory nap free of migrating splinter anxiety dreams.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Am I the only person here watching Top Design? I think Kelly Wearstler may have outdone herself with her clothes and hair this time!

Weird, I thought I hit edit but I am going to leave the more complete post.

You know, I watched but wasn't paying much attention to the judges.
ION, I just found that I have a Kara Dalkey book that I would have sworn I didn't even know existed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I'm watching, but I haven't seen the most recent one yet. I think overall these may be my favorite panel of judges among the Top/Project set, though -- they're so deliciously catty!

Thrive to spite them
I started working at my current place in March 2004 so it's an anniversary for me! Since I've worked here I've had three different employers due to the temp issue. But I like the job but unless they make me permanent (which doesn't seem likely) I won't be here in 2008.
Allyson - congrats on the new job!
