Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Em, I had something to ask you, but I can't remember it anymore.

Oh, remember my kiddo that was changing her math homework so the solutions would be negative numbers? She's one of the kiddos I'm staying with this week. Apparently, she did not turn her homework in that way. She redid it. Her teacher said that was entirely for my benefit. I'm so lucky!

That's pretty adorable, I have to say.

Dude, where IS everybody? This is weird! I feel like my one thread in Natter killed the entire board... except for vw, who developed some kind of localized immunity through living with me.

::waves to Emily::

I'm sitting at home, underemployed, planning my trip to LA this weekend to do the Tom Waits Tour, Mark 2 (post-financial collapse).

We had a going-away party for JZ's mom yesterday. There was an event at her bookstore and tons of people showed up; very gratifying for her.

It's rainy and dreary in San Francisco, and I'm about to make more coffee and go watch Wristcutters: a Love Story on Tivo.

(I've been wanting to see the movie since it came out, but it's only just now rolling around to cable. It's a black comedy about suicides living in purgatory, and hence features lots of Tom Waits. Amusingly, the number one hit song in purgatory is "Love Will Tear Us Apart" by Joy Division.)

Hallo!

I so long to be independently wealthy. Of course, I'd probably be expected to keep my house clean or something.

Heh.

Ok. I'm leaving the house. This time with actual clothes on. I double-checked!

I would so settle on being dependently wealthy. In either case, somebody else cleans your house for you.

I have been swamped this morning with requests, so I'm not really here, but for those of you keeping track at home w/r/t my joy at finding reasons to reject graduation speakers, a name that came up this a.m., who I'm sure the Dean was thinking was a "safety" choice because s/he graduated from this institution, is actually a name that comes up as being someone who should be prosecuted for war crimes relating to what happened at Gitmo. Not exactly the kind of thing Deans want associated with their schools!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Ha! Very relatedly, the students at one of the law schools around here are protesting Mukasey as a graduation speaker because of his stance on torture. (For extra irony-sauce, the undergrad graduation speaker at said school is Desmond Tutu.)

They are what they say, couches made from scratched and dinged coffins that weren't sold. They're kind of pretty.
