DJ, your office sounds fabulous. We stay in McKinney when we're there. I have no idea where that is in relation to you.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

McKinney is Northwest I believe. If you look at the metroplex as a bicycle with Ft. Worth as the back wheel and Dallas as the front wheel with Grand Prarie and Arlington being that bar in the middle, McKinney would be at the top leftish of the front wheel. Where I work is near the middle of the upright spoke that is I 75 on the Dallas wheel.

You'd think if he was in fact fundamentalist, he'd be all over this.
You'd think! I even gave him a great book (ok...great is contextual here) about the history of fundamentalism in America that was published by Bob Jones University Press! HELLO! Golden!
Loser.
In not loser news, I stopped by to see my second reader of my thesis to thank him for his comments. Um...some warning that he is young, adorable (curly blond hair and green eyes!), and Irish (with adorable accent) would have been good. I was a pile of wibble goo. I couldn't say anything intelligent. And, it didn't help when he said, "Well, I hope I got this across in my comments, but if not, I'll say it now. Your thesis was much more what I would expect of a respected published scholarly article, not a senior thesis. It was an ambitious topic, and you engaged me, even when I disagreed."
At one point he asked how I received the comments...where they typed by someone and e-mailed to me? I said, no. I got the original comments that he wrote. He was like, "So, in my green pen? Oh, dear. I thought someone would type them."
My wibble response? "I liked the green pen."
I am hopeless.

Nah. Just human. Though there's too much overlap.

The status is NOT quo.
Hi all. I'm skipping to the end just to wave weakly and say that I was feeling better until about an hour ago, and now I'm totally worn out and headachey again. Tomorrow is Career Day, which means the girls will be off at job sites. It's a PD day for the faculty, and we've been told that we are going to the beach to participate in a beach clean-up and then hang out and play games. Normally that would be just peachy, but man is it not looking appealing right now. As it is, I'm going to miss tonight's professional Shakespeare on the Green performance at my school of Twelfth Night, which I'm very bummed about, but missing tomorrow would look very bad. Dammit. Stupid day. Why do you have to be so stupid?
Oh, and I postponed my tutoring student yesterday, so I have to meet with her after school today. It's been a month since we've met due to vacation and various other reasons, and I really need the check. Argh.

um. remember that head-splodey info I couldn't share a few weeks ago. Well... I found out more... and still can't share... maybe I can next week. Still under the cone of silence. Which doesn't seem to contain exploding head. And just when I thought the walls were duly painted with grey matter, said person laid on an even MORE head-splodey thought. So. Um. Ya. Like shakey OMGOMGOMGOMG. I dunno know. I wanna say more to explain. Sorry so cryptic. but. like. HOLY FUCK!!!

Can we have more code?takes too damn long to write it out in my simple code. Need to make some auto crypter thingie.
Someone get omnis some water and a fan!some crazy glue for the head repair might not be a bad idea.
{{{KT}}} Ick! Rest. Sunshine/beach with headache doesn't sound appetizing. I hope the boys aren't too loud when you get home.

Back-reading mini-meara:
I read the hot new teenlit vampire sensation Twilight' a couple of months ago, and it just about made my head explode.I also had this reaction. I read all three anyway, but I am utterly disgusted by the utter passivity of the heroine. The second two were better than the first, as Jilli said (and there's got to be something to them since I still bought and read the suckers), but I'm not proud of myself.
vw, I'm glad the webcast went well but sorry about asshat group member. Your Irish reader sound quite tasty, however.
Omnis, you are killing me. I am going to come breathe infection on you until you tell me WTF is going on!
sj, sounds like it was still pretty good despite minor annoyances, yes?
I am SO TIRED of being sick.This, a thousand times this. I am sitting at my desk bundled into my winter jacket to fend off the chills. I waited too long to take the next dose of ibuprofen, apparently. I still have to stay for my tutoring student, but I got permission to stay home tomorrow since I'm so obviously sick. This is a very good thing. Sleep will most definitely be on tomorrow's menu to finally shake this thing.
Jilli, I hope you heal quickly and are no longer a poor wee sick!goth.
