Hee. First I've got to finish my dissertation so that I can actually graduate. Lately, I've been getting all sidetracked in other stuff. Though one of my sidetracked-in-other-stuff paths led me to the discovery that my great-grandfather's first cousin was the first person in Trenton to be convicted under Prohibition. So that was a kind of fun discovery. Though completely unproductive, in the "must graduate by May 2009" sense.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[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.
Ok - very belated, but Meara's soon to be ex-bosses really suck.
Oooh, I'm totally qualified for this: [link] Except that it's a pure research job, and I'm pretty sure I'd go nuts.
too cute! [link]
Hee. That kid's adorable. And a tiny bit frightening.
Gronkies
Have been woken up about every 20 minutes with the dog going NUTS barking. Nothing visible out the front window to set him off, so I kept trying to go back to bed.
Gave up on that about a half hour ago. Realized that I kept hearing truck noises, almost like garbage truck, but not. And then there was that beep-beep-beep of a truck in reverse. WTF it is 1am in the morning.
I finally threw on my shoes and a jacket and walked around the corner to see what was going on. There is a full fledged construction site in the middle of the street behind me. Big lights and big trucks from EBMUD (water district). Gah, not like that noise is going to stop soon. And now I'm WIDE FREAKING AWAKE.
Want. Sleep.
Snarl, stooopid trucks and construction still going. still awake. Not cool.
Sox, I may COMM the unravelling line.
awww - thanks Andi.
SuziQ is me, without the dog barking. AUGH. Not enough gronk in the world this morning.
I first thought you were saying you had thrown up on your shoes, Suzi. So, um, could be worse?
GC, I wish you and GF and her family all the best. When members of my DHs family have passed away, the folks arranging the burials were very helpful w/r/t memorial possibilities, and it has always been my DH who felt the need to stand up and say something. You might find there is a family member or a friend willing to take the lead who hasn't made themselves known, yet -- so I'd suggest asking.
{{Suzi}} Are you working from home today? I hope?
Yesterday we got a real diagnosis for the puppy: Giardia has been what's causing all of her GI problems. Fortunately, the antibiotic she's been on for the past week should take care of it.
