I'd like to reclaim hugs for good times as well, starting right now.

Tacklehugs shir.

I think the worst problem of the world today is that not enough people are watching good tv)

I believe that Shir has uncovered an essential truth. The corollary is that the world is going to hell because of reality shows and bad writing.

UPS is still on The List. I talked to them on the phone last night and they are completely helpless without a tracking number. I'm still at a loss as to how they can have a computer call at 8 a.m. and expect someone to be able to be at home all day that day. For more than 20 years, I had to be at work at 8 a.m., so I would have already been at work. Mainly, I think the robot should at least give people a phone number or a second chance at the tracking number. I called the shipper and they're looking into it. I want my new arm things. I don't want to spend all day here twitching every time the dog barks.

I just finished my first commissioned craft project--hats for my chiropractor's twins. They turned out even cuter than even I had imagined. I can't wait to get a picture of them wearing it. Now to package them up and get ready to say goodbye...

Thanks, everyone. I'm trying not to think about it right now. There's nothing I can do until we know more, and we won't know more until Tuesday or Wednesday.

Unfortunately, I'm also feeling spectacularly unmotivated at the moment. I have a solid few hours to work this morning before I teach three classes, and I'm just sitting here staring at my computer instead. I think leaving the house before the sun goes up, getting home long after it's gone down, and then having several MORE hours of work before bed for the past five days is a lot of the problem. ND and I made a date for dinner tonight since we haven't really seen each other since last weekend.

The Sonic Screwdriver is an authentic replica through Think Geek.

Is it really a replica if the show used it as a base for the revised prop?

Precision of terminology is important! Plus, it's cool.

Is there such a thing as a preplica?

Precision of terminology is important!

Yeah, it's like when I was on the cruise and people were calling me a cougar because this 23 year old had a little crush, and I debated because I thought that a key component of being a cougar was that they were doing the chasing, and since I was just minding my own business, I was not a cougar.

Is there such a thing as a preplica?

If not, there should be.
