Ah, Vortex. I share your pain. I am astonished that I have any blood left, and am not dead.

Why is this the price for being a human female? Other mammals don't have to deal with this. Next life, I'd like to be a guy, please, gods. Really.

I am fed up with trying to deal with getting my letters of recommendation to the universities where I applied. One is ready to go. One needs a signature, and the guy who wrote it has to mail it rather than fax it because apparently the math department at one of the biggest universities in the country does not have a scanner or a fax machine. And the third one is still missing.

Why has David Tennant stopped dyeing his hair?

I read the article, it may be that he's done it for the role he's playing, as an villain :)

I want to COMM Jessica's semaphore breakup so much, but I don't want to upset anyone.

I for one don't mind if you want to COMM it.

Steph, love the cards.

I'm about halfway through Twilight. My opinion so far is that it's delightfully horrible.

I am also getting increasingly irritated with my advisor, who promised he would submit his letter of recommendation by Thanksgiving, has not submitted it yet, and has not responded to any of my emails since before Thanksgiving, and I can't go find him because I'm still in NJ. And I've gotten a few more emails from places where I applied telling me that they can't consider my application complete until they receive the recommendations.

Hil, if your slacker adviser is anywhere in Virginia, I'll go talk to him for you.

Vortex, that's what I thought too.

Plus - doesn't this make him eligible for ita's Silver Fox site?

Whoot! Extra Tennant! I like him better as a brunet, because I think he looks all over pale with the grey hair, but I'm not mad at anyone who goes au naturel.

Let me go bookmark Seska's post.

The utter lack of respect and professionalism from this guy just continues to amaze.

Thinking about it, it's really hard to say whether he's just stopped dyeing it brown, or is dyeing it grey for the role. Either way, I don't think it looks at all bad. It gives him a definite 'grown-up' aura.

Re Zenkitty's spoiler font, I agree entirely. To add my own view in that area: Girly parts. Not fun. I am so sick of three-weekly periods and everything that goes with them.

Also, in relation to the above, I'm having that week (the one in three) of being so bendy, I subluxate every two minutes and end up in a little heap of pain on the bed at the end of the day. I went shopping today, safely cocooned in my wheelchair, and still subluxed every single joint in my body. Joyous. I am going to lie here and watch old Lost episodes (we're doing a bit of a Lost marathon) and not move. Seems safest. < /pain rant >
