Schoolwork is finished for the night. I really had to force myself through it because I'm feeling depressed tonight. I'm trying to convince myself that I am not depressed about a haircut, but I think I really am that vain.
Some people juggle geese!

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh no! David, what happened to Emmet?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
HEC - I have Ativan and Valium (And Percocet, and Vicodin...), and I'll be up for a bit. Lemme know if your boy needs any.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh no! David, what happened to Emmet?
I just put him to bed. He was in pretty good spirits and we'll try school again tomorrow.
There's no damage to his gear according to his reflexes and the ultrasound.
They think it was a pinched nerve caused by an improperly fitted cup. So, they're basically saying no cup for a week and we'll see.
We've already got him a new cup that fits better. We don't have a playoff game until Tuesday (more than a week since the tourney) and I would use him sparingly at catcher and have the cup out in between.
The thing is, not only did he catch during parts of six different games over the weekend, but he wore his cup and uniform all day long because he was playing two games a day. And we were just out at the fields in between games. So he had it on about 7-8 hours a day. It's never been an issue before, but I'll be more mindful of that in the future.
He was less ouchy tonight than last night. We'll take it easy over the weekend and see where we are.

eek!
You know, some injuries you just don't think about before they occur.
[edited to add that I am clearly a girl, and that a boy might well have considered the possibility.]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
How unfair! Cups are supposed to protect the junk, not cause injury. Poor Emmett.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I'm so glad there's no permanent injury (as I'm sure you are, too), and I hope Emmett is back to his cup-wearing, baseball-playing self soon.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
There are worse things than needing a bigger cup...
What? I have a certain reputation to uphold!
(I'm glad he's going to be ok)

Ohhhhhh, Aimee....... Harry Potter theme park to open in Orlando in 2009
Hmmm, I think I need to follow up with my Universal contacts and see if there's any work on that project I can score.

YAY!
I woke up to my final grade being posted online. It's a B. My inner grade whore is pleased about this, even though it's not an A. It was a difficult semester, and in this particular class there were a few assignments I ultimately decided to never turned in. So, an A was out of the question. But, it was a B- or above, so it counts towards Honors, and so that's going in the win pile.
