It's a hobbitty approach to birthdays--what's not to love as long as you don't get two years older?

I just did some ironing so I'd feel a bit better about my clothing. The idea I don't have enough is sheer delusion, even if too much of it doesn't fit right (I need longer tops, for real) and I can certainly make do.

Happy Hebrew date!

Thank you very much!

Oh, but I love the way you put this.

A friend of mine claims that it's supposed to be your birthday for the entire time between the two dates (which can range from no time at all when the dates coincide to around a month because there every now and then the Hebrew year has 13 months).

Last night I actually went to sleep, not just fell asleep while working/fighting-with-the-computer. That's what I did with the extra-day delay bureaucracy gave to my deadline. Now my body is all "wait, what was that? This thing that you just gave me? This sleep thing. Yeah, I like that. More of that, please. NOW.". Silly thing.

Also, I was just reprimanded for not handing in grades of exams which took place two weeks ago. Now, the time limit for grading is two weeks. Which are not yet over by today, so I'm not even late on that yet. And still.

So to anybody who's wondering what I may be doing on Sunday, after the deadline? That's the answer. Grading.

(Which, strangely enough, being not-in-front-of-the-computer, with nothing which may refuse to work and compile and file-corrupt and all, seems like a really fun thing to do, from where I'm sitting now, yes-in-front-of-the-computer.)

Wow, this was a meMeME post.

Shir, I hope you have a great day today. I wish I could share it with you, but I'm sure the company will be lovely, the chocolate yummy and all good things.

Yay! I'm glad you slept like a normal person!

I hope you have a great day today

Thank you! I wish you could be there too, but hey, we already have another date for this.

ooof. Just completed chapter two.

I'm going to regret this when I have to get up in five hours.

But chapter two is done!

Chapter three is vampire bats!!!!

BTW, I have decided that vampire bats are the biggest gossips in the rain forest. And they are feasting on a sleeping capybara when they meet Sam.

SHOUT OUT!

I'm glad you slept like a normal person!

Yeah, but now I'm feel more tired than I did yesterday (it's like Newton's first law - if you're already in motion, the natural thing is to continue to move in that direction. Once you need to change your pace or direction - that's what requires acceleration, and force).

Then again, maybe it's just that everything goes with the what-can-I-whine-about train.

Just completed chapter two.

Yay!

Oh, that's such a great shout-out.

The drilling om the roof of my building is back. If it's anything like yesterday, it'll last for few hours.

... shoot me now.

Oh, that's such a great shout-out.

I agree!

Cabybaras, yay.

Shir, could you go work somewhere else? Even if your computer is not a lap-top, just take the files you need and go to some library or university room?

You know, you could even come to my place, if you anyway need to come to the area later today - my home computer would love some company.

Nilly, I can't move anywhere. I'm on vpn connection to a backoffice, and they don't like the idea of using wireless connection while using the vpn thing.

I have earplugs which I use for noise rock shows I go to. It helps, somewhat.

Also, not sure I'm posting it in the right thread, but you guys seen this?
