peopled should be a word. IJS.

It is, if you want to say something like "The valley was soon peopled with refugees from the war."

Turns out the UCLA ER received 50 cases from the crash. Going in at 1AM was well worth it, because killing time is better done in the comfort if my own home, if home killing must be done.

Ouch, sumi... :: instead rant about insurance and medical necessity::

Oh, sumi, I meant to say that Roger Federer's dance after the US Open win was terribly cute. It's great to see emotion from him of the gleeful sort--I remember when he used to cry after winning and you couldn't tell he was the victor.

Hated that, what with me being all allergic and all.

Okay, now I gotta go hunt through every CD I own to find my copy of MS Project. I promised an interviewer I could provide them a project plan in that format, but forgot that I hadn't installed it on the new machine yet. I'm amazed and a bit disenchanted that they asked first for a real project plan. That either makes me a nut or a thief--if it happened at work, it's work product. If not, who does project plans in their off duty time?

Indeed. That's... odd.

One of the nicer things about my newish job (I'm at 18 months now) is that I haven't had to use MS Project in all that time. And the only spreadsheets I use have text, no formulas. Yay.

ita, I can't tell you how many times I rewound to watch that throughout the week. We don't often see him that happy.

Man, I just heard on tv that Michelle Obama is going to be on "Paula's Party" next Friday.

I never, ever wanted to watch that show and now I may have to.

Yikes, all the way around.

Shir, that sounds like a nice weekend.

Also, I would like to be on a pub trivia boat cruise!

Shir, I had hair that color for just about 5 years - I went back to black last week b/c I just don't have time to keep up a bright color anymore. But I highly recommend it (and the brand Special Effects)!

but I just know that somewhere along my first year in university I'd feel like a paper/books robot, and I'll have to dye my hair that color, to remind myself I still have some free will and personality. They may be mostly stored in my hair, but there are somewhere there.

A friend of mine who's a corporate lawyer once had a layer of bright pink dyed into the underside of her hair. She could put it in a rubber band, and it was completely invisible. Of course, when it was out, it was still pretty subtle.

Boat quiz was v. Fun, despite the cheating cheaters who cheat who scored our sheet. We came in third once we redid the math. Also, the quiz is run and half populated by Brit soccer players, so the answer I'm hearing for Alyson is that at the start of the tournament they draw for home team status.

I'll seriously look into it now that it's Jessica approved.

And yeah. Umm. The show I wanted to go to tonight? Sold out. Found it out at the entrance to the club.

Not to happy about it, but in fairly good mood all and all.

Health~ma and painless~ma to all those who may need it.

The Weekend So Far:

Matilda's second circus class this morning went very well. Emmett came with us and went very slightly bananas with loving all the circus equipment and desperately wanting to clamber all over it himself; I can already tell she's going to be heartbroken next Saturday when there's no Obbie to accompany her.

Also, we had bonus megan walker! She hung out with us before going to the museum, and cheered Matilda on and laughed herself silly at the class's enthusiastically inept version of the Hokey Pokey.

She's off at the museum now and Matilda is collapsed on the couch, fast asleep, while Hec and Emmett watch Matilda. In an hour and change we'll go to a daycare classmate's birthday party, which hopefully will lead to more tiredness and collapsing.

And I even wrote this morning! Only 400 words and change, but it was genuine by-God writing.

Best Saturday Ever, so far (knock wood).

Shir, you definitely ought to do Jessica's old hair color. It looks fabulous, and it somehow seems exactly right that we should always have at least one Buffista in Special Effects.
