Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
I wonder if the people who live in our old house now have any idea that both yards are the cemetaries for three dogs, three hamsters and assorted gerbils.
There are, along with a variety of cats and dogs, two horses buried in front of my old house.
In less morbid news, I need advice. I am utterly exhausted and would really like to go to sleep. I had planned to try to grade ten more essays, and I suppose if I really focused and pushed through, I could do that. I don't have to get up early; I'm not going into school until late morning since I'm not giving any exams tomorrow. If I do try to push through, though, I'm a little worried that 1) the quality of my grading will suffer and 2) I'll wake up and be insomnia girl for the remainder of the night (which would obviously suck). I've been up and working steadily since six this morning, and I'm pretty wiped. If I don't push through, though, I'm going to have to be a grading demon tomorrow to make up for it. Since I don't have anything else to do
but
grade tomorrow, that might be the better option. Then again, on Wednesday morning, I get 58 final exams to add to the ever-growing pile, so I'm really screwed if I don't finish at least 20 (preferably 25) of these suckers tomorrow. Then again again, my grades aren't due until after winter break, so the pressure to finish all this crap by Friday is purely of my own making. Then again again again, I really don't want a crapload of grading to do over the break.
Clearly, I have issues. Welcome to my brain.
We also all ate some of his ashes.
At least you didn't snort them. My BFF wants to be cremated, and have some of her ashes put into the punch, then have everyone do a toast with the punch. I told her that I am not eating or drinking anything at her funeral that did not come out of a sealed package.
Kristen, go to sleep. You'll do a better (and faster) job of grading after you've slept.
I told her that I am not eating or drinking anything at her funeral that did not come out of a sealed package.
Heh. Yeah, I would do the same, in your shoes.
I think I have decided that I need to sleep.
x-post: Thanks, aurelia. Great minds, and all.
Once is not too much to ask, erika.
Sleep well, Kristin. You'll get all the grading done in good time.
At least you didn't snort them.
I didn't. I'm not sure nobody did.
Got and backflung. Cashmere, you know the train goes right under the airport, right? It comes out near baggage claim. I'd come get you but I'm betting that's in the midst of getting people off to school/work time.
I know I'm missing stuff. I tried to catch up but I'm so tired these days I fell asleep at 1500 posts left to go. I am reading when I can and sending lots of vibes and yays, though.
Yeah, that's it---The Body of An American.
Real highlight of Season(Is it two or three?) Ray Cole's wake.
The real producer died, so the mourning was real.
So I just finished Slings and Arrows.
Sigh. I meant to get to sleep. But my schedule has been getting all skewed (when I don't have set times I need to be awake, I always end up sleeping something like three AM until noon), and Exodus is on TV.
I don't even like this movie. It took a novel with a rather simplistic message to begin with a removed every tiny bit of nuance it had. Also, Paul Newman? Jill Haworth? Really? (There was just a scene were Paul Newman's character sneaks through an Arab neighborhood by simply putting on a kaffiyeh and "blending in." In the book, the character in that scene was an Arab Jew.)
The locations are brilliantly gorgeous, though.
what a long freaky day. First WAY overslept. Next, iPhone was like FROZEN for 2 min, then just worked fine. Then my CAR gets all warning lights.. then is fine (AFTER getting it to the dealership, of course... always works for the repair man). Company party was ok. After that, a lil knitting party where I learned to cast off and add tassels. Its official, my mom's scarf is DONE! New knitting has been restarted.
OK, time to pull a lil meara before heading to bed:
Does anyone else have songs picked out? Or am I the only morbid one?
When I was an intern, my boss had a D.A.T. of music in his desk. Occasionally he'd pull it out to add a new song. I think it was more for the wake than the funeral. I've been thinking about a playlist in my iTunes for awhile, but too morbid to actually do it. And I agree, funeral stuff is for the living. I also agree, do what ya want, as long as it's cheap. No use wasting money on a dead body.
So, L.A. people...specifically NoiseDesign, whose idea it was for a Rock Band party in the first place: all signs seem to be pointing to Sunday, Dec. 30. Is that good? Timing is whenever. I was also thinking Laga and omnis and I could do the Museum of Jurassic Technology that morning/afternoon. I don't know how long one needs.
Count me in! My day is cleared. If your staying at Laga's, I'd be more than happy to play chauffeur.
I feel like someone filled my sinuses with that expandable foam insulation.
Or, maybe a beach in Australia:

OK, that's it for me. Must get to sleep. Boss kinda chewed me out for being late. It's not like we had anything doing today. Pfft.
