Yeah, Trudy, I suspect he may refuse to pay for half the cable bill b/c he claims he doesn't watch tv. That would suck, but right now I'll take it. And it doesn't sound like he'll be there much, either. I think his actual words were "like a ghost."
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

“Not dead yet!”
I gave up wearing hoop or dangly earrings until my kids were well into toddlerhood.
Of course, that didn't stop Abby from nearly rendering me blind by clawing at my eye ten days post-surgery (accidentally-- she lost her balance and I was Right There).

I would say "fine, but the second I see you watching TV, even if I'm watching it, cable kicks in"
Also, if he's going to be a cheapskate, make sure that you get everything in writing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Our logic was similar.

Yeah, ours was, "If you DO put in an air conditioner this gets renegotiated". He never did put in an AC and he is very much the promised blinvisble man.

Hey, my next potential potential future wife is from South Carolina!
...I hope she wasn't the alligator.

Hey, my next potential potential future wife is from South Carolina!
I can only assume the plan is to gather a list of potential wives and put it up to a vote in lightbulbs.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Trying to decide whether to take an evening course at Birkbeck, the part-time learning college at University of London. If I'm going to 'dip in' for just one or two modules, I can only take undergraduate courses. But uni is starting up again in Leeds, and I feel like I need some class discussion to encourage me to read again (especially with an unfinished dissertation hanging over me). Costs money, though. Hmm.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Ooh, I need to call my mother today.
I usually call about twice a week, more if something interesting happens. But we used to talk every single day, during the craziness of Simultaneous House Building. That was fun.
I do not know what to think about the crossbow-weilding cheerleader, other than I saw a crossbow for sale on craiglist yesterday and thought about getting it for the SO. But we have no crocodiles out here.
Take the class, Seska! It's never a bad thing. Okay, probably it sometimes is a bad thing, but yay learning!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, another round of Facebook questions. The last names "Cameron-Smith" and "Rojas"? I think I know who Rojas is, now that I think about it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Interesting that you are posting about that, Seska. I am home sick still - wretched cold - and am exploring Ph.D programs in the area in between sneezes.
I am tired, tired, tired of my job. It is dog-work, very emotionally draining, and intellectually unsatisfying. I know that I want to leave, but I am not at all certain that I want to work with high-school age youth anymore. I want to teach at the college level again, but with an M.A. in English, I would need to take multiple lecturer positions, and forgo insurance and benes. Point the first. Point the second - a doctorate would be more loan expense, which I an already swimming in, and there's no guarantee that I would be able to score a position in the KC area when I am done. But if I am going to teach at the college level, a doctorate would be more logical.
I've also been out of post-secondary academia for twelve years (well, a M.Ed, but, umm, not the same) and even though I enjoy the more rigorous intellectual demands of graduate work, I don't now if I could take the superspecialization of the ivory tower without rolling my eyes forever.
Plus, I dunno what my dissertation would be. Atwood? The explosion of female heroines in modern fantasy? Buffy? Urban fantasy as a response to a mechanized global culture? Umm.
Maybe thinking about this while sick isn't the best plan. Dammit, I'm 37; shouldn't I be all settled into a career path by now?!
