Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?  

[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.

All is well that ends in pizza.

For the teachers and others among us:

Construction workers spent this month finishing up with flooring and stairwells in the brand-new, $16.8 million school. But as thousands of Minnesota students head to school, the already crowded Prior Lake-Savage district isn't getting ready to open Redtail Ridge. They're closing it.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

Happiest of Birthdays, Fay!

Sigh. I managed to go to the library and check out a bunch of books...and then FORGET to pack them for my trip. DOH! Also, ARGGH. So I only have one book with me. Which if any of you have seen me read? Is really only enough for like...take off. Luckily, they showed a movie on the plane ("Made of Honor") that I actually wanted to watch.

Still wanting to smack myself though.

Back in LA again. And the plane landed early...but then I ended up with ridiculousness at the rental car place. Am currently at the hotel...and there's some sort of weird screetching noise (I'd think the fire alarm? But it's gone off for a second or two, three times now, but stopped?) and if it goes off one more time, I may hurt someone.

In other words, I have my Cranky Pants firmly ON.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Felicitations, Fay! Wishing a very Happy Birthday for a very lovely, inspiring, sexy, intelligent AND smart, hot, snarky, GORgeous, and winsome person.

ETA: Eeek, meara. Sorry about the need for the cranky pants. May things smooth out, soonest.

meara! I didn't know you were back in LA. Yay you in LA! BOO cranky pants. Or, more accurately, boo circumstances creating the need for cranky couture.

Coffee:

I meant to say thanks to Omnis for asking about the day. I got nowhere near as much done today as I had hoped because most of my stuff hadn't been moved from my old room to my new room yet (argh), so I couldn't unpack as I'd planned. I did get some odds and ends done, however, including taking a look at my agenda for tomorrow and having a quiet little panic attack about the fact that I'm running an orientation for the next two days that I feel extremely unprepared for. This is the downside of having played hooky last week. Eep. When I saw Karen today (the person who's run this for the last eight years and who, in theory, is still running it this year), she basically said that she's happy to help, but she's so swamped with new middle school director responsibilities that she doesn't think she'll be around as much as she'd hoped. Which...is fine, really, I know it is. But ack! So not prepared! And nsm sidekick as main course, apparently! (How's that for mixed metaphors?)

P.S. I have changed my tag to my favorite Owen quote because I need to giggle. Also because it may have to be a mantra this week.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

OK, my calming via SG-1 has resulted in me finishing Season 7. Of course the cliff hanger is OMG! Which leads to 2 questions. 1) even though it is 1:15 am and I have to work in the morning, do I start on season 8 (probably shouldn't). and 2) is this when I need to start watching Stargate Atlantis? Or is it plainly clear in SG-1 when that happens?

And, now for my listening pleasures, more famous Texas Thunder. I love it!

ETA: Well I started on Season 8. 30 minutes into the double feature season premier, instead of getting up for snacks, I've decided to head for bed. Oh, how I hate being responsible! Why wasn't I born into a life of leisure as I must have been in my past life?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Happy birthday, Fay!!!

No cranky pants for meara! I think tomorrow, you should just be pantless.

Kristin, good luck with the orientation. I know you'll do well.

I've been away for the weekend (Iowa State Fair! Woot!), and spent today finishing up curriculum stuff. Well, finishing up what I plan on finishing up before school starts. Tomorrow, I need to go by school and work on my room some.

I think I'm about to start a conversation I won't have time to monitor tomorrow when y'all wake up...

Has anyone seen/heard about this poll from MSNBC? [link]

It's about "should we remove 'in god we trust' from our currency".

What? I'm going to bed now, I promise. had to wait for iPhone to finish updating itself.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, FAY!

Good luck with orientation, Kristin. I'm sure you will do and amazing job.
