An article I'm writing uses the word "cancellation" a whole lot. The spell check on the computer at the office insists that "cancelation" is right and "cancellation" is wrong, contradicting every dictionary I've checked, both American and British. (British says "cancelation" is wrong. American says it's the less-preferred spelling. But the spelling that the British dictionaries say is correct and the American ones say is preferred is the one that that spell check insists is wrong.)

I find that "add to dictionary" will make the red lines go away on any word.

My husband is *this* close to being strangled. I want to crawl into bed and disappear.

Calli, I am so so sorry. Peace to you and your family.

And, {{{Cashmere}}}

Crawl into bed and block out the world if you can for a few minutes.

Oh, Calli, I am so sorry. Sympathies to you & yours.

Work is trying to kill me. I think that by the time July rolls around, I might be begging bhutanese monks to kidnap me and not let me go home.

Cashmere- maybe you should go to bed before you kill your husband?

I think you all have heard the saga of my theatre getting a real live lamb, which I think has all sorts of disaster potential. Well, I have a secret... I CAN'T WAIT for this lamb to arrive so I can hold it and pet it and feed it a bottle. I know I will feel a little bad because the prop person who is getting it has a baby, and I am going to be much more excited about this lamb-- I am weird that way.

We are also getting a Whizzinator (http://www.ureasample.com/buy-drug-test-solutions/store/whizzinator.htm) so that the actor can pee on stage without peeing. Somehow there is a health issue with him peeing, when the lamb is going to pee and poop all over the place. I am a little disturbed by the colors available": flesh, latino, and black.

I am not sure I can handle helping a student learn how to use this, especially since I find the particular student adorable in an "I want to pink his cheeks( the ones on his face) like an Italian grandma" kind of way.

What's happening to the lamb after? ???

As for the other...um.

Leverage night!

To celebrate, a quote from John Rogers:

I'm shocked you haven't realized that while I say the show is based on 60's and 70's heist shows, it's plainly a Farscape rip-ioff. Hardison's laptop is even named Winona ...

Of course, my head may just fall off in the interim. Pain meds for the 4 week period, although ineffective, aren't obtainable for about 3 more.

I have been told the lamb is going back to the farmer. I am a little scared that if I find out otherwise, I will have a sheep in my apartment.

ETA: I am fairly confident this is true, as they are concerned with keeping the lamb warm, and making sure he has blankets etc, etc.
