Moving to a new place is hard. I'm just glad that we're not having the winter we had last year, you can ease into this New England weather thing slowly. Also, maybe when we have recovered from the holiday and heating oil spending of the last couple months we can meet up with you. I'd love to get back to Vermont.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Lots and lots of vibes to you, askye...the winter stuff is bad, and can just sneak up on you and gradually ease its way in until you forget anything was ever any different.
And, gah. Hec just called - his computer is "borked"; he was in the middle of reading Mark Watches when it froze up, and on manual restart it cheerfully made the classic Mac startup bommmmmmmmm but has so far declined to do anything else.
It's an incredibly trivial, first world problem, but if it turns out to be something very bad then it's not anything we can fix or replace. GAD FRADGET FLIB-FLAB BUMPUSSES!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I was being lazy this morning, and teaching this afternoon. And now I'm trying to help students deal with some issues with registering for my classes, because there are two databases that have the rosters, and they're supposed to sync with each other, but I've got two students who are on one roster but not the other, and I don't know why.

Aw, askye. Sorry you're doing as well as you thought. Hope getting out tomorrow helps.
eta: JZ, I hope it's not bad! noooooo....

JZ, ~ma for an easy and cheap fix for the computer.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
beth, did I miss you getting a new kitty or did I just forget?
He was found in the library parking lot about 6 month ago -- he was a little one pound kitten . He is somewhere between 6 and 7 months old . his favorite pasttime is wrestleing with the big boy .

Even the computer can't believe Mark's take on Dru.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I knew that Mark guy was no good! Nothing but trouble!

Dear TCG,
When I told you what was available in the fridge for dinner tonight, I specifically did not mention the leftover bacon and home fries from breakfast because they were mine.

The status is NOT quo.
Askye, if you can, invest in a sun lamp. They can make a huge difference during those long months. Also try to remember that the days are getting a little bit longer every day!
JZ, fingers crossed the Mac comes back to life and doesn't sprout fangs.
Hi all. I have been doing nothing but sleeping. Can't shake this virus. I worked Sunday (open house), Monday, and Tuesday and had just about lost my voice again. Got home at 5 yesterday so tired I could barely stay awake driving, slept for three hours, woke up for three hours and then went back to bed. Had a scary commute this morning where I kept feeling myself nodding off and barely made it through my first period class before deciding I needed to go home early. Got a sub for my other class and made an appointment with my doctor for noon--got there a little early and fell asleep for 20 more minutes in the freaking parking lot. Had my appointment, grabbed some Mexican food, got my bloodwork done to check for mono (she thinks this is just a virus but wants to rule it out), got home and crashed for two more hours. Tired much? Sheesh. Maybe this is the Sandman Virus.
