Hee, Cash. I could get behind that, show you all the cool places to hang out.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

[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.

Okay, I cannot be the only one who keeps reading this as "vasovaginal" and having to do a double take.
I was JUST thinking that.

Well, at least we're all in the Indian Ocean. I'm presuming that's where Buffista Island is.
I'd have to catch a boat. I'm in the South Pacific, just off the coast of New Zealand. (My mother used to ask "Are you trying to reach Australia?" when I dug in the sand. She was nearly right.)

I'll end up in the South Pacific Ocean.
Seska, yay for good news, boo for the being sick while deadlines.

I want to see today's ep of Wake Up With Laurie, but I'm in a Very Redundant class. I wonder when we'll learn something new.

I am going to Starbucks. The drive + walk + coffee might keep me awake enough to do some work while there.

Why does this happen so often at uni? I used to sit in pointless classes calculating how much that session had cost me (about £150 an hour, if you don't account for also paying for resources, library etc). Maybe if I get one of the PhD teaching scholarships I'm applying for, these experiences will remind me to make classes vaguely worthwhile.
Hope your studies get more interesting soon, Shir.

They mostly are. You know, it's just (mostly) sociology - the combination of their inferiority complex in the field of social sciences with (still. In the 5th week) repeating on last's year statistics makes my death wish grow.
But now I can calculate the regression for it.
Oh, and good luck with the productivity and waking up!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Weird. It's now 10:40 pm, pitch black, and I can hear a flock of parrots (lorikeets, I think) flying through my neighbourhood. This is not normal behaviour.

Yeah, I've had that with one of my units this semester, a prereq I was obliged to take. (Did the exam yesterday.) I seriously learned nothing useful that I didn't already know. (I did, however, wind up tutoring three Chinese students, which may be useful if I try to get a job in teaching/training.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Blarg. I'm feeling borderline okay, but it's variable. I may go in to work and see how things go. I'll give myself the option of taking a half sick-day.
The thing that's got me fretting is that I'm supposed to go to a concert tonight (Bruce Hornsby) with one of my co-workers. If there were multiple other people going with her, I would definitely bail. But since it's just me, I'd feel odd bailing on short notice. If I were feeling absolutely horrible, I would absolutely ditch, but I'm kind of borderline and may feel perfectly fine by this evening.
Again, thank you all for your sympathy and advice. I appreciate it more than I can say.
