Hil She thanked him and they kissed, then they showed Lorelai and Rory finishing the packing, and they went to Luke's for coffee and breakfast. Lorelai was wearing the necklace that Luke bought for her.

Thanks, sj.

I finished grading finals today. Nothing more I need to do this semester!

Also, I managed to get a good half the grad students in my department angry at me with a single email. (We're moving to new office space, and we needed to arrange ourselves into offices. I stupidly volunteered to coordinate them. Asked everyone to tell me what their preferences were, and arranged it as well as I could based on all of that. Eleven of the 14 people were either happy with it, or OK enough with it that they said it was fine. Three people sent me emails about how I didn't put them where they wanted to be, and it's not fair that I'm arranging the offices because of course I'll put my own preferences first, and they should have priority because they're fifth-year students (um, one of them is. the other two are third-year), and how it should have been a faculty member rather than a student arranging this (well, the faculty member in charge told us to work it out amongst ourselves.))

After way too many rounds of this with these same three people I gave up and, with another grad student, went to talk to the faculty member in charge of this stuff and told him that it was getting out of hand, and we needed him to just send out a list of what the offices were going to be. We told him what all the contraints were, and we sat down and worked out an arrangement together. It's not really anyone's ideal arrangement, but at least now, if people are going to bitch about it, it won't be to me.

I just drove like 30 miles with a new jogging stroller (in the box) on the Miata. Fear me.

I also have acquired a copy of several of Shakespeare's plays done as role-playing games for d20.

I haven't done the dishes, but whatever.

Bye bye Gilmore Girls. I liked your last episode, it was nicely bookendy.

Did anyone else mention SF/Fantasy author David Eddings accidentally set fire to his garage and office back in January? [link]

GG gave me some allergies, too. V. sweet ending.

I had an interview today for a summer gig as a dogwalker. It could be fun, but I don't know if it could give me the number of hours I'd really need. I have another interview tomorrow with a temp agency. Blech.

I also registered for a class for this summer: Teaching Speech in College. I thought it could be handy for high school as well. But, I got a call from the prof today. Classes start on Monday, and she called to assign homework today so that we can have a productive first day. Homework. BEFORE class starts. What. Ev.

Man, that wedding of yours feels like it was just yesterday!

This is THREE years???

Holy crap! I swear I was JUST AT the wedding! How can it be three?

Apparently this person used inappropriate language (repeatedly) in her classroom.

So they fired her right before the end of the year?? That's really weird. I mean, how inappropriate are we TALKING?? (OK, sixth grade is a little more sense-making, I was thinking high school. But STILL!)

The bad guys shot the roommate in the head, and slashed his daughter's throat.

Oh my GOD, that's scary.

Keep your journalling in easily-identifiable books

OK, I totally read this and thought you were still talking about the robbers, adn was like "Why would the robbers want to read my journal??" Also, I don't keep a paper one anymore--I did on and off for years, but ever since I started LJ like, five years ago, that's all I do.

I got to be reminded of why I love living in LA.

I went down to the local market to get a couple of things, and wound up parking right next to Jonathan Woodward, sitting in his beat up old silver Beemer. He was desperately rummaging through his car looking for something. I went in, made my purchases and came out, and he was still looking.

Turns out he was looking for his car keys. Which were still sticking out of his trunk.

So, I have added yet another ME alum I've just casually run into on the street. Nick Brendon is still my favorite, though.

One of my tutoring students today paid me with a $100 bill. I can't remember the last time I saw one of those. I generally just don't have more than about $60 in cash at once.

Hmm. The next place I'm going to be spending cash will be the farmers market. Probably a good idea to get to the bank and get some change first.

Raq, my gods. Tons of ~ma for your co-worker and those women.

My tattoo, he is done. Except for the part where I will need about two hours of retouching in a month or so, for the drawback to having soft skin is that the elasticity of same makes it not want to accept ink. Am now lightheaded on Perc and endorphins. Still need to write up my trip - it was quite profound in many ways. Yes.
