That is brilliant.

I am going out to see live music with a friend. CRAZY. mom and dad are mac sitting.
Whoo hoo msbelle, have a helluva time!
Speaking of music, and Live (meaning the band of that name), a minor miracle has occurred in my household this evening. I actually got on my Spinner and rode. For 35 more than medium minutes.
A miracle you say? How can that be?
Well, I walk past that bike every single day, roughly 80 times. I can't even tell you the last time I was on it. I could be a year and a half. Definitely since way before last spring.
So. Yeah. Just having the energy to entertain the idea is pretty excellent for me, much less actually doing it.
Let's hope this is a trend in the making.
Poor Bartleby hates it when I exercise. I have no idea why.
eta: Oh, I should have said that I owe it all to Live's Throwing Copper. Not sure what it is about Ed Kawalski (sp), but is angry poetry makes it impossible for me to sit still. Next up, Meatloaf/Bat Out of Hell
Beware! Sparky is Conan the Librarian!
"Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System?!?"
Have a good time out, msbelle!
zuisa, glad you're enjoying your trip/job, and especially glad you weren't in Christchurch when the earthquake hit.
This is how I know we live in the future - my 93 year-old grandmother just informed me (over Facebook) that she prefers email to Facebook and Skype.
And no, buffistas ain't got nuthin' on a roomful of trapped English teachers.
Kat speaks the truth. I happen to have an awesome department that enjoys hanging out together, but boy is that often not the case.
Hah. We're still trying to get my parents on Skype to talk to the boys. Of course, I'm the throwback who refuses to advance. My coworkers find it hilarious and frustrating that I won't a) share or use my gchat at work b) share my cell # (not that I ever answer it) c)won't skype with them (or set it up) and d) I will tell them over the phone to email me because otherwise they aren't getting their answer. I like the time buffer email allows. I like the documentation it provides. Also, the chance to edit. If it is that urgent, come to my office, and deal with the faces I'll make and the f-bombs I'll barely cut off. Or that I may crawl under my desk (for reals.)
Thank god I work with a bunch of sarcastic, blunt folk. Especially last night. Because I was on the phone with T and she was all "Dude, I didn't know I'd have to work, I took a sleeping pill so bear with me. " "Oh, this will be FUN. I'm tipsy. Let's see if we can avoid fucking this up. Wait, I didn't say that." "Don't worry, I probably won't remember this in the morning. Fucking Ambien." ".I'll tell our boss to put that in your performance report: can operate OPUS in her sleep!"
