I can't talk Stephanie into the official Steph corset? Imagine the F2Fs!

I pondered it. I actually love Steph's picture, but I am almost certainly too practical.

And I do need a new tagline. Amych (I think) said that to me before the first time I ever went out after Ellie was born (so, December 2005).

How long will the rescue operation take, if all goes according to plan?

We're leaving at 7am Friday and returning around 9pm the same day. It's do-able. (Or it would be if I weren't due in four different places between tomorrow and Thursday...) Two of our guests managed to get seats on the train to Dover instead, so we're down to two. But we're hoping there'll be other takers as time goes on.

ETA:

That would be a valid point if I had not specifically said that anti-semitism exists.

I actually didn't mean you. I was talking about people who do deny it.

I saw an article this morning about how the French were turning back a bunch of private boats because they didn't have the right permits to land.

So far today, I got several more rejections, sent out two more applications, and have not heard back from my advisor. Also, for some reason, the mess in my apartment is really bothering me right now, whereas I usually don't even notice it, but I think I'm too tired to clean.

meara, yayayayayayayay on the home owning!

quester, go you on the going back to school!

Oh, man, I'm so tired and punchy I feel like the Queen in Dressed to Kill. "Hello, oh, you're a plumber, what on EARTH is that?"

Plus people keep trying to get me in trouble for shit I do right at work, which is both frustrating and almost amusing since I do screw up, mostly by slacking, but - not on these occasions! People, oy.

Letter I want to write:

Dear Former Czar of Cyber Terrorism what was on NPR this afternoon-

The group to which you are referring is the KU Klux Klan. Not the KLU Klux Klan. You are confusing the first word with something you need to get. Love, The Empress

sign I have short timers: I just wrote a long e-mail critique of the preshow announcement they want me to record tomorrow. After 2 years of horrible copy written to read, I'm tired of it. So I outlined basic stuff on how a long, run on sentence, listing the shows next season is fine for reading, but horrible to read out loud. That after 30-45 seconds, you will loose them. Keep it short. Blah blah blah. Sent out the e-mail. Waiting for the shitstorm.

Nora, wherever you are, I sent you a message via fb, if you need me to hook you back up with K&K, or if you need anything else for that matter.

It doesn't seem to. Because of the backlog that will continue even once British airspace is open again, we're hearing of hundreds of people who could remain stranded for another week or so.

Let's hope Taiwan gets calmer in the interval or our Fay could end up stranded between a revolution and a natural disaster.

The only way her life could be more of a novel is if she had to take the Orient Express to Istanbul and then hop a tramp steamer the rest of the way Bangkok.

hop a tramp steamer the rest of the way Bangkok.
