Very, very long shot
Any chance someone from here knows anyone from that Neo-Victorianism conference?
Purely academic interest.
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I had an anxiety dream about it last night, wherein I and D. and the pastor all had to do a little dance number.
If more Advent services were like that, I might go.
It's two hours before the taxi to the airport gets here. I keep moving little things around between my carryon and checked luggage. This time tomorrow I'll be in Senegal—yay!

Toast and coffee.

Sadly, no. But it looks really interesting—I wish I could go.
ETA: Thanks, Shir!

Bon voyage, Calli -- though I hope by now the taxi's come!
Today I find out if I can keep auditing the 3D class -- they've changed the formatting so it's split into two courses, though when I took it the first time it was a shorter single course that encompassed the same material, so I might be grandfathered in, or not, depending on bureaucratic whim. However, if I can't take it, I should get off my ass and work harder at finding a job, so I'm trying to convince myself that it's good whatever happens.
I'm also having the last slice of apple pie for breakfast.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Have a great trip, Calli!

Good luck, Theodosia.

What is it with you, Buffistas, and making me want apple pie?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I should make apple pie. I should also go to sleep.

Go to bed, ita.
I promise I'll search for an apple pie while you'll sleep for the both of us, OK?
