HFC GELATO EVERY SINGLE DAY!!!!!!!!
High fructose corn gelato? Ewwww.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I think I'll do the Typo Boy suggested email route tomorrow. My boss is out of the office on Tuesdays (WFH) so I will have a reason to email instead of walking the 4 feet to her desk. I think I'll also discuss with Jon if it has to be 3 weeks. Like, maybe if I gave up Goa for my birthday (but I totally want to do Goa on my birthday!) if we could do 2 or 2 1/2 if my boss says 3 is unacceptable.

Also, thanks everybody! Now I just need a kick in the pants tomorrow to make sure I do it.

I will kick your pants! But in a non-Rumbley way.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
tallying this months time sheet (paid monthly sucks btw). Seems I've racked up 11.7 DAYS of comp time already. Not bad for 6 weeks on the job. I'll just hold on to that TYVM. Since I don't need to give tons of advance time or paperwork to take it, I'll save that for those slow days to leave early.
DJ, I nod at what other wrote. You and Jon totally deserve. Best of luck in the asking phase.
Sean, envy is not a strong enough word. While I haven't played AC2 yet (just the first one), I am in awe at your following the game. Very cool, in an ubber geeky way.
ND, I hope things pick up for you soon. Cabin fever sucks. It's not like you are stuck at home, where there are always chores to do. You are stuck in a cabin, literally! I second Pix suggestion, try your hand at Yoga or Tai Chi.
ETA: Almost forgot to say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEC! Wow, both of you that close? That's so cute!

However, it does have a medieval arms and armor museum, wich allows you to touch and wear the arms and armor.
SQUEEE!
Hubby would love it. Hell, so would I.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just got back from grocery shopping. I know that my schedule the next few weeks will be totally full of preparing for dissertation defense, so I got a whole bunch of stuff that I can either microwave or use for making sandwiches. Also got a few shelf-stable microwavable things to keep in my office for when I need a meal that I didn't plan for.

Squee! New work laptop is on it's way over. They are still waiting for software (Filemaker Pro and Vectorworks, the two I need the most), but SQUEE! Get to play with while on furlough/time off until next Tuesday.
ION- Why do I have the "Young Frankenstein" version of "Putting On The Ritz" stuck in my head? I haven't watched that movie in AGES!

Happy birthday David, indeed!
(What? What am I doing here, again, instead of studying? Pfft. Petty questions!) But yeah, storming on again. Because something's bothering me, and I don't have anywhere else where I can process it through, and it's weirding me out.
It's about boys. Yes, I'm all Dear Abbying you. No, not about that part they have that moves on its own free will.
Remember I talked about the really cool guys from some of my classes that suddenly became oh so very nice and cool to me? Well, it's still going on, to extant that one of them is really treating me as a close friend. Not in an opening up thing sort of way, but as in going above and beyond to try and help in whatever he thinks he can help me with, without me asking him to do anything at all.
And it's not that he fancies me or anything in that fashion; he's very involved with someone else for a few years. And... I find myself more confused than flattered. He's being so sweet, and I'm just trying to move him from "nice acquaintance that I know from class" to "possibly cool friend" drawer in my head, and like a bad gear, I get stuck.
I'm not used to guys waking up after 8 months and starting to treat me like a human being all of the sudden without a hint of a crush. I'm not used to people being that nice, generally speaking. I feel like I should shift drives more easily, but... but. I'm just not used to it, and I get stuck: not sure how to respond some sentences, how much to open up (if at all), how much to say, what to say, how to respond to all of the sweet things he does of the way he shows he respects me. It's just like all of the sudden he decided he wants me as a friend in his life. As long as the conversation is related to uni, I can talk nice, be utilitarian and helpful. When it comes to make a bond, all of the sudden? Hello, stuckiness.
