Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

Yeah, that's what my brother has. It ain't a lot (for a family of 4) but...

Holy hell, I just got a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Apparently walking to work in the wind and rain means my hair is a total disaster. And has been all day. Nice.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Seriously. I can't be a secretary for much longer. Or I'll end up being a "See Also:" under Sean Penn's Dickipedia entry.

Hey strega. Where you been? I got a crappy xmas present for you.

Oo, awesome! And I have a thing for you that I can mail now that you'r'e back home. Maybe I will remember to do that tomorrow. ...Maybe.

I think I would follow megan walker's advice and try for a PhD program, even if you stop at the masters level.

I agree. The success that you have already had in this rapidly emerging new area makes you a good candidate for a funded position in a doctoral program. If you don't thrive there, you can always negotiate a terminal masters and leave without a big debt.

You might also check around for conveniently located programs with names likeTelecommunications or Communication and Culture or something like that, because they are often very similar to the kind of program you are looking at. There also are similar programs that are subspecialites within English departments.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Holy hell, I just got a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Apparently walking to work in the wind and rain means my hair is a total disaster. And has been all day. Nice.

This is why I try to make a point of going to the bathroom relatively early in the morning -- hair check!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Taking my self portrait before leaving home takes care of that. Almost left home with those hanger loops of the dress showing.

I meant to ask you (and anyone else doing the daily portrait thing): are you just setting the camera on a handy shelf and using the timer function? Because I want to get in the habit of taking wardrobe documentation photos.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Your Emo Tears or someone else's Emo Tears?

We always talk about lunch -- what's everyone having for dinner? I have leftover chicken parmesan and spaghetti from yesterday. YUM. I've been dreaming of it all day.
