There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

That's a hard thing not to dwell on, Kate. All kinds of nothing~ma to you.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks, Amy. Gotta say, looking at photos of gorgeous Aeryn Sylvia on FB is helping!

Kate, wishing you all the best. I'll be thinking about you, and sending good vibes.

I miss you!

Thanks, erin, for the info! That sounds kind of cool, actually. If I'm going to be hanging out at a hotel, that sounds like a not-bad hotel to be slounging at.

Eek, Kate, much -ma both of the "it's nothing" and the "chill, cool, calm, collected"

I felt very peculiar when I was the only one among my sister's friends who'd seen Kanye's dick.

...for a minute I thought you meant you'd seen it in person. And I was like "When? You've been holding out on stories!" Was there something remarkable about it, or just that it's Kanye's?

I'm used to it being very quiet around my house, but the neighbors have started work on their renovations, and I keep hearing construction noise--nothing too bad, so far, but people moving around and things clanking, and I keep being startled and thinking it's someone around MY house, or coming to the front door.

My Dec. monthly report is ridiculous. Turns out I only worked seven days the whole month:

Dec. 1-2: worked. (Had two-hour staff holiday lunch on the 1st.)
Dec. 3: had knee surgery
Dec. 6-10, 13: laid up
Dec. 14: checked email from home for three hours or so
Dec. 15: went into office for two hours to see capstone students give final presentation
Dec. 16: slept all day
Dec. 17: spent two hours writing up feedback for capstone students' final grade
Dec. 20-22: worked. Mostly answered phones, since I was the only one in the office. Phone didn't ring all that much.
Dec. 23: Tried to work, but threw up at my desk about ten minutes after I got to work. Went home.
Dec. 24, 27: holidays
Dec. 28-29: worked, answered phones.
Dec. 30-31: holidays.

Baaaaaaaby!

Kate, wishing you all the best. I'll be thinking about you, and sending good vibes.

And the same to you! I was glad to read your update, just to know what's going on with you. I've been thinking about you, and both M and I are sending love and good wishes to you and your family.

Thanks for the ~ma, y'all. I will gladly take it!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Kate, much "it's nothing"~ma for you.

I saw that one this morning! One Batman every 25 MILLION YEARS!

ION, obsessively refreshing the FedEx tracking status doesn't seem to be making my iPod Touch get here any faster. What good is a tracking status if I can't manipulate time and space via obsessive refreshing?!?
