Fingers knotted into a Star of David for your DH Connie. Also making the sign of the hammer.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[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.

Lots of ~ma for your hubby, Connie.
I've got an on-campus interview on Wednesday. Just today, around noon, they emailed me to let me know what they wanted me to do for the teaching demonstration. Part of it I can do -- it's a time crunch to prep a lesson plan, but it's stuff I've taught a ton of times before, so I can do it -- but the other part, there's just no way. It's a topic I've never taught before, from a perspective I've never taught before, and I simply cannot prep it in a day and a half, while also teaching my own classes. So I emailed back and told them that I could do the first part of it, but that I wouldn't be able to do the second part, and explained why. I'll see what they say. (I don't really think this job is for me, anyway, but I don't know enough about it to say for certain.)

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I think it is fucking insane for them to email you about what to do for a job talk less than 2 days before you are going to do it.
I swear to God, academic drives me batshit sometimes.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
They fail at job interviewing. Troubling if that's an indicator of the demands they expect from staff.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Yeah, I'm not really too impressed with that, either.

Meanwhile, yesterday Biyi and I celebrated our seventh wedding anniversary. (Seven of the best years of my life.) We had dinner at a rather nice Japanese restaurant in Southbank, with balcony views of the city across the river. Very pleasant, relaxing evening. (Of course, Ryan has his own opinions as to the desirability of Mummy and Daddy spending evenings without the pleasure of his company.)
On Thursday, we'll be out again. We're attending a show at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. Fun week.

News from Hubby:
The cancers are shrinking nicely. I'm guessing the upsurge in symptoms is the various symptoms reacting. And maybe chemo side effects in and of themselves.
So the positive train is still the proper trip to be on.

The next roommate needs to not work from home, too, I think. Current roomie is on calls a lot, and when he isn't, I still feel like I can't turn on the TV or do homework. He makes me SO self conscious.
I hate that I'm complaining about him, because he really is a nice guy, and he's only here for a few more weeks, and he pays his rent (a bigger deal than I would have imagined a year ago), but I really can't wait for him to go.
I wish I could afford this (or any) place by myself. I dislike living with most people.
I miss my roommate Harry.
