Woohoo! Put up a few more from the Hebrew search too. She had a fighting role on the show and looked really solid. And elegant.

Glad to help, Ms. ita.

Ello.

Not trying to skim 300+ posts. I'll just hope that everyone is OK, well-fed and happy.

Moved out of my room in student halls in Leeds. Attempted to fit everything from there into my tiny flat, having several temper tantrums along the way because my desk/little 'office' corner just isn't big enough. Registered our intention to form a civil partnership (this means we are now officially engaged - although we've been engaged for three years, so that's a bit weird). Set myself up for collecting potential research participants at the Greenbelt festival. Started training a new PA.

And that's just the last 48 hours...

I need a day of doing nothing, but I have to unpack more clothes and then pack for the Greenbelt festival. Hmm.

Wow, Seska, that's a hell lot! Good luck. And congrats on the civil partnership registration!

ION, made a progress with my paper. I now know *exactly* what I'll write about, and sadly gave up on few of the more interesting aspects of science and photography.

Also, I dislike Barthes. Over dramatic much?

Morning, Bitches! What are people up to today?

Seska, you must be exhausted.

I am happy to report that Aunt C was doing better than I expected her to be doing when we visited last night. The IV antibiotics seem to be doing what they are supposed to do, and she is hoping to be out of the hospital before her granddaughter's birthday party on Sunday. Speaking of which, I need to figure out what to buy a 5 year old girl between now and then.

Portlandistas: Leverage is filming today between 11am and 2pm outside the Arthur hotel and then later at the lovejoy ramp. you have been warned.

Up and paying bills. Looking to drag Da Punk out into the (odd and aggravating) cold and damp to return a textbook and buy Aims a backpack.

Shoulder seems to be just slightly out of place. Every time I try to raise it above my head, I get a twinge. This is probably karmic retribution for some cruel McCain jokes I made during the election campaign.

Listening to Torchwood: Children of Earth soundtrack by Ben Foster. Very Hans Zimmer-ish in some ways. Very cool.

Must to buy some coffee while preparing to pay rent.

Almsot half way done with cleaning 2/3 of the house.

Almost 1/3 done with writing the paper.

Also, almost asleep. So tired.

sj - Indeed, exhausted. A festival weekend followed by a holiday in Spain coming up, though! I'm glad to hear Aunt C's feeling better.

Shir - I agree. Barthes is irritating. But then, I like Derrida (something that makes my professors despair of me).

Talking of the holiday in Spain, The Girl's unlikely to be able to come with me as planned, as her father has very nasty pancreatitis and is in hospital, so she's going to fly out to Houston to see him. -ma both for him, and for me that I'll cope with holidaying alone (two friends are coming, but they don't know my support needsand I'm going to have to try to be very independent) would be very much appreciated.

Oops - meant to post that in Natter....
