So, all the construction here is mostly done, but annoying stuff still happens. Just now I went to the bathroom. After I closed the door I discovered the door handle had been removed, so I was locked in the bathroom. After a few minutes, a construction guy got the door open for me.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Ugh, ita. I hope you can sleep some over the weekend, and that getting through today is easier than it seems right now.
Speaking of which, It's Friday--what are people doing this weekend?

Grading papers, going to the grocery, and cleaning my house.
Staying inside as much as possible.

@Jilli, I'm so sorry to hear about your Mom. So very sad and sudden.

I'll be spending the weekend huddled over a laptop trying to finish several writing projects which are due.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have no concrete plans for the weekend, although I'd like to say...sleep. Trying to learn to do new things with GIMP, I guess.

We are going to an open-house star-watch at the Astronomy department tonight, and probably to an open house at a local park's historic log cabin on Saturday. Plus the usual round of laundry, vacuuming, grocery shopping, dance class for Casper.

From the Onion News Network (i.e. a video) Morbid Curiosity Leading Many Voters To Support Palin
A recent poll shows 62% of Americans say they don't want to vote for Palin, but kinda just have to see what would happen. Onion News Network premieres on IFC on Friday at 10pm.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
this weekend is blissfully plan-free, though we will likely try to get Tom brewing during it. And also go to the burger pop-up in our hood for the Benedict Burger (burger topped with fried egg, pancetta, and hollandaise.)
Other than that, though, sleep and lounging.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Probably just staying in and doing laundry and stuff. Cooking food for the week. I'm going to try to get to synagogue either tonight or tomorrow.
