So, latest word on the exams is that there will be undergrad proctors in each room, but several of them are people who were just roped into being proctors last night, and I have no idea whether I can trust them all to show up. So, I gave my students the email address that forwards to my Droid, so that they can let me know if something goes wrong.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

That seems like all kinds of wrong, Hil.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh Hil, what a mess. I hope someone got his or her ass chewed out for making such a royal muck-up of it.

And I'm unemployed. Oooooookay. :)
I feel you in the mom drama. I got called 'mean and vicious" and told that I had a [something] of evilness, and she didn't know that she did to deserve a child like me because . . . I said "I don't mind picking you up, but could you be ready when I get there?" Actually, I didn't even get to say the second part. She yelled at me for about 10 minutes in the car. And then, after another 10 minutes of silence, started talking like nothing had happened.
And people wonder why I am considering moving to a different state.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We have the same mom. I mean, I have had this conversation with her a billion times, including the freakish sudden change of temperament.

A soupçon of evilness?

I'm in Hartford right now (second interview) and I'm thinking of you and Nora because I'm sitting in City Steam Brewery, enjoying a Norweigan Wood, which is "a velvety dark lager, aged with cinnamon and cocoa". It is goooooood.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
And people wonder why I am considering moving to a different state.
I think they mostly wonder how you've stuck it out where you are this long.
That lager sounds tremendously restorative.

Vortex, I love the idea of you living closer.
I'm feeling better tonight. My fever is down and I'm eating soup and drinking juice.
