Great, watched Muppets: Bohemian Rhapsody. Then Ode to Joy. And now, all I can sing is "meep meep meep meep meep meep meep meeeeep meep meep".
Hee. That one's funny.
Good luck on the paper, Shir. (Yay for Marx, Weber and Simmel!)
I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

[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.

Trust my rage
Stephanie! I got a check from you yesterday.
Glad it made it.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Arrg. Damn paper. Do not want to do sociology over the weekend (unless it's reading Latour/Taussig). Got three paragraphs so far, but they're good paragraphs. With the spacing, that should cover more than 1/2 a page. So only 18 more paragraphs to go!
ION. Sister is home! She's sleep now, but earlier she showed us some pictures of her from the FB. I really want to share, but I've got to ask her permission and all that jazz.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Shit. May I have some ~ma to two of my friends?
Both are a lovely couple, living together for 10 years now. G's mom passed away from cancer few months back, after battling long and hard. He was very attached to her.
The mom's partner, who was a great guy all the way, turned his skin and now trying to stuck my friends with a huge loan he was supposed to pay for, which will leave my friends broke to the bone. So with the grief and all they have to sort this out, too.

Rapid improvement and general health~ma!

Heh. I'm with you there. I'm impatient to get this nearly-finished dissertation DONE so I can move on to more interesting stuff. Yay for your sister being home!

A voice within me says that mine's an only 3 pages easy-yet-boring paper to write, and look at Naomi - she's doing a dissertation, God dammit, and you're complaining more than her.
So it seems like you're my alter ego now. Should I be afraid?

Very. (And - heh. You have not complained nearly as much as I have.) Also, shout if I can help with the dull paper at all. Also, also, can you find me a better word than 'dialectic' for an interplay of two issues that have underpinned my dissertation? If so, you get a cookie.
Back to equal opportunities policies and inclusive language...

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.
better word than 'dialectic' for an interplay of two issues that have underpinned my dissertation?
Synergy?
From Dictionary.com:
1. combined action or functioning; synergism.
2. the cooperative action of two or more muscles, nerves, or the like.
3. the cooperative action of two or more stimuli or drugs.
Or is that not what those issues are doing with each other?

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
I like it, Andi, but it's not quite right (and apparently I have become a game show host). It's more that the two issues conspired to interfere with my results, while proving my hyotheses at the same time. I am at a loss for the right word. I might just have to leave it at a description, rather than summing it up with a cool term.
Results section half completed. There's less to say in the second 'half'. I may actually have nearly finished. Except, you know, for cutting out about 2000 words and checking a couple of hundred references and rewriting some bits. (Do not sob your way through writing an introduction. It will end up a bit incoherent.)
