I don't look that good
BWAH!!! You are So. Wrong.
Sean, I'm glad the surgery went well. Crossing fingers everything continues to improve.
I finished ten papers! I love Panera so damned much. There was a jazz duet playing live music, too, so it was pretty much my ideal grading environment. I'm going to try to do a few more papers tonight (I'd hoped to do twenty today, but I think 13 may be it), but I'm proud of myself for buckling down and completing at least that much.
I still have 28 more of these suckers, 58 final exams, and 4 creative writing portfolios. Sigh. But these essays are the hardest. Once I finish them, I'll be in good shape.
I know I read the Narnia books, but I don't remember them at all. Weird.
I remember the bit about the turkish delight. I was so disappointed when I actually had some and it was disgusting.
I had Turkish Delight from a Turkish camper (back when I was a camp counselor) brought that month from Turkey, and I thought it was de-lish. It might have just been that particular kind, though. The kid's dad was loaded and sent her with all kinds of luxuries.
I'm sure that I had some cheap mass produced crap. I suspect that real turkish delight is quite nice.
I finally had the real stuff and it was MUCH better than prior domestic versions.
Not quite the ambrosia Edmund adores, but I suppose it could be pretty exotic to a war-time English kid.
Yeah, I've never tried any other kind. I'm sure I'd be disappointed after having "My Father Owns Oil Fields" Turkish Delight.
ETA: This lolcat makes me miss my Shepherds SO MUCH.

I should be wrapping gifts and setting to box a bunch for shipping tomorrow. Instead I'm snoozing on the couch watching tv. Ugg. I did the shopping, can't someone else do the other stuff?

Sean, backflung.
Hi. I've had a max of three hours of uninterrupted sleep in the last two nights. I've barely eaten today. But I finished and uploaded my Yuletide story, toddler with earache thwarting bedamned.
I wanted to comment on the religion discussion from the perspective of one raised by atheists, but sadly, was too braindead/Yuletide addled. Someone remind me in the morning, because it's something I've been thinking about a lot.
I read a bunch. I drank wine. I feel the need to repeat this:
Also, that way we got live-action Legolas and Aragorn and Borimir and Farimir and Eomer and NOMNOMNOM.
Your timing is kind of funny, beth, as I was going to say...
Also, that way we got live-action Legolas and Aragorn and Borimir and Farimir and Eomer and NOMNOMNOM.
And Boromir! I loved the books, but he was such an ass in them, and just all conflicted and wonderful in the movies. Peter Jackson totally turned me into a Sean Bean fangurl, and the Sharpe movies finished the job.
eta: Oops. I totally missed, every single time, that the original had Boromir in it. I guess I just really, really wanted to share about my Sean Bean fanaticism.
