Psst. Emily teaches math!

Gah. Have a drink, Emily. I have some Amaretto if you'd like to share.

SFO's not so much with the efficient. Or are you in Oakland?

I was in SFO. Wow. That was unbelievable.

Now I'm in a grogeous painted lady with one of my fellow presenters (who is a doll). We've planned it all out, and it looks good. I'm happy I'm not carrying the whole 90 minutes on my own. Going to seek food and hotel shortly.

Home from Seattle and now I miss my peeps. A lot.

But I picked up Kittenish from the cattery, unpacked and am now flopped on the couch verging on comatose. Well, luggage unpacked. There are still some things in the car. Like candles cause I picked up a few.

And Cass went the same color as my pants, which just makes it funnier.

I don't acknowledge vermilion. Like a life without clicky fire, doesn't exist.

Really I'm just deciding whether or not to give them any credit if they got absolutely everything wrong, and all their graphs look the same. It's about 30 seconds per page -- there are just so many of them, and they're so, so wrong.

Anyway, I'm off to go do it with company. Later!

Oh Emily, I'm so sorry. How frustrating.

Good luck getting everything done, Emily! You will get through this year.

I'm right there with you, Emily, although my drama is not with grading. If it helps to know you're not alone in it.

Eep, Em, that sucks. Good luck. But you're what, 3/4ths of the way through the year, right?

Running List of Favorite Words Encountered Since Studying Gender Theory: heteronormative, homosociability

OK, I know from heteronormative, but what is "homosociabilty" about?

libkitty, telling us you have MORE SNOW THAT ANYBODY is really not the best way to have most of us visit, I'm thinking....me, I'm anxiously awaiting spring here...cherry blossoms in a few weeks! Of course, I'm supposed to be in LA the weekend they're lovely, but...(maybe it's just me? I don't ski, so....but see, you should come HERE, I have no futon, but I do have a couch! And cherry blossoms!!)

MORE SNOW THAT ANYBODY

No, no, no. The ski resort has more snow than any other ski resort. Down here near sea level, we have a fair amount, but not more than anybody else. Truly. We've gotten lots here, but lots has also melted, so we're near a record, but we don't have amazing quantities on the ground in town. And today, absolutely gorgeous, with the sun out and glinting on the remaining melting snow.

We won't mention the storm that's supposed to come through tonight and maybe take us over the record. No, we'll keep that quiet.

eta: On the other hand, visiting meara...hmmmm. Cherry blossoms, nice; couch, good; meara, fantabulous!

So, how much snow did you get overnight, libkitty?

Toto is acting better (more energetic) this morning, but still won't eat (or do some other important things). I'm calling his regular vet in an hour. Actually, one of the techs might be there now. Maybe I'll call now.
