Please do report back!

I'm still trying to suss out what my b-day tatt might be. I've been planning on a dragonfly for a long time, and had a sort of stylized/comic-booky image in mind, but now I'm thinking maybe somewith with more of the look and feel of this, that I think ita or someone linked to a while back. [link]

I'm also thinking of a tiny paw print on my wrist. But no mustache.

Yay for solid food, Drew! I hope it went down smoothly, and stayed down without causing misery.

Cue one professor with a bucket of cold water at the end of a pretty ok but long day telling me I'd be better off anywhere else (Stanford, MIT... GA tech) and generally indicating I have academic leprosy. He's not wrong, really. Awe-freaking-some.

Anyone want the last two classes of a gre course?

Eta: added freakout.

Can I hit him for ya, Sox? Pleasepleaseplease? Because I have so much academic leprosy that my academic parts totally fell off, and I am therefore unconstrained by the fighting-by-snideness rules of the ol' Tower.

That's horrible, Sox!

Geez, Sox, that sucks. What an idiot that prof is.

I see more cockpunching is in order.

I vote for Buffista cockpunching speical unit. To take care of things when life fails friends.

Nah, he merely pointed out the obvious - that there's no one that into the tech and no one to support me there. IOW, nemesis professor was right. I know I could teach rings around them in this area - but I can't freaking get to MIT or Stanford or georgia or Illinois. I can get here. Dammit dammit dammit.

Is this the same prof who blogged about the need for more study in the exact area I proposed? Who emailed saying he'd be happy to support such research? Why heck yes.

Rant over. Anyone want a sweater or 7? I sense angry knitting approaching.

I vote for Buffista cockpunching speical unit.

Would there be cool uniforms?
