My preferred nog is virgin from the cartons (I prefer it in glass bottles over cartons if I can get them). I never drank it with alcohol until about 10 years ago.

The carton stuff is best by itself. I consider that an entirely different substance than homemade real eggnog, which absolutely requires rum or some other spirit.

About an hour or so ago I got a call from my Supervisor.

Mandatory Saturday for all help desk staff because they got their numbers so high today, when I had the day off.

Andi will be so thrilled.

I was going to make scones tonight, but I don't feel like it now.

Woohoo!! Finals week is my BEE-YOTCH.

Started the week with 6 final projects, as follows:

1) Writing Portfolio consisting of at least ten pages of work.
2) Publishing project with two other classmates consisting of at least 6 pieces of work put together ina small booklet thing.
3) Final paper ammending a general education lesson plan for two kids falling under the Special Education heading.
4) 1100-1500 word paper on Mad Men from a feminist and culture/historic POV.
5) Take 6 quizes in prep for final exam in education class.
6) Final exam for education class.

#1 and #3 are done. #2 will be done tomorrow. Maybe even tonight. #4 is due Tuesday by 6pm, but I want to turn it in Monday evening so I don't have to go to campus Tuesday. I've started, but it's been very touch and go. I think I'll probably start over. #5 is open book and the questions from the quizzes are what make up the exam, so that shold make the exam easy and all of that is due by Friday. Bleh.

And in the middle of all of this I have a freaking field trip with my Daisy troop.

WHY IS THE RUM GONE?

Because we have absinthe. Or Three Olives Cherry vodka and Godiva chocolate liqueur.

WHY IS SEATTLE SO FAR?

Go, Aims!

I'm not sure I followed that, DCJ. You had today off and because of circumstances that occurred while you weren't there you have to go in tomorrow? That bites.

I'm watching I Brokeback Mountain on TV. Every time I watch it, I'm amazed at how beautiful and sad it is. Like, I shouldn't watch it because it's so sad, but too beautiful to skip past.

You got it exactly right -t.

Sony Pictures, the current copyright holder of the original 1998 Cupid TV show has a poll out to gauge interest in several old TV shows.

Sadly, they want me to choose three, and won't let me choose Cupid three times.

Project #3 - 99% done. Just waiting for the cover art from one of my other classmates.

It is the most angsty, horrid, piece of crap ever. It is all about PAIN and SUFFERING and FLYING FREE OF YOUR UTTER YET EXPECTED BETRAYAL! PAIN ANGST PAIN I AM A BUTTERFLY.

I just wrote crap that wouldn't be out of place in my middle school journals. Blech. Hate group projects.
