Portlandistas: Leverage is filming today between 11am and 2pm outside the Arthur hotel and then later at the lovejoy ramp. you have been warned.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
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.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Almsot half way done with cleaning 2/3 of the house.
Almost 1/3 done with writing the paper.
Also, almost asleep. So tired.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oops - meant to post that in Natter....

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Travel~ma for both of you, Seska, and health~ma for your future father-in-law.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
~mas to you, The Girl and The Girl's Father, Seska.
I didn't read a lot of Derrida yet, so I can't comment. And while Barthes is... well, kindda like The Annoying One, I did make a progress using Camera Lucida.
Of all those French guys, I prefer Latour and Baudrillard, myself. It's really easy - and fun - responding to their theories in papers.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sj, that's wonderful news about Aunt C. Continued speedy recovery~ma to her.
I need to figure out what to buy a 5 year old girl between now and then.
My suggestion: Anything by this author.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
sj - Just noticed, 300 posts back, that you asked where home is. London, with The Girl, which is where I have returned. I was living in Leeds for a year to do my MA at Leeds Uni. I was only living in one room in Leeds, but it was a big room and it was all mine. This little flat (despite its glorious little balcony and also the niceness of being able to live with my partner again) is too full for all my books...

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I get the feeling it's going to be a long day.
- hit the wrong button on alarm. didn't snooze it, turned it off.
- put polo shirt on backwards (thankfully I immediately noticed it was wrong when I had a face full of collar)
Don't these things come in 3's? @@ I's going to be a long day.
