Don't you just love this party? Everything's so fancy, and there's some kind of hot cheese over there.

[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

Yeah, I know. I already had one interview with them, and they asked me for the evals after that, so I know I'm already on their shortlist. (I might put in an explanation about the ones from last spring, though, where several students said I cancelled classes numerous times -- a bunch of those were when there was two feet of snow on the ground, and my town hadn't plowed yet, and the buses weren't running, but the university was still open, and then a few others were when I slipped on the ice and dislocated my knee.)

Actually, looking at it again, I don't really need to say that -- I'm sending them several semesters' worth, and the "cancelled class" ones are on the third set they'll see, so they'll realize that it's not a usual thing.

Also, the email they sent me asked if I have plans to be in the area any time soon. (It's near DC.) I don't have any plans to be there, but going there wouldn't be too difficult. How do I say that?

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Hil, it's very hopeful-making that you are getting this far along in their process. In your place, about the travel question, I think I would respond "I have no set travel plans for the near future but I could make a trip to the area on [range of dates].

The roads are really bad right now. There isn't a travel ban but there's a "don't drive unless necessary" warning at the bottom of the weather advisory.

I was out because I went back to the doctor for the dry hacking cough I've developed. My ear/sinus infection looks good, stil have fluid in my ears so I'm taking the "good" decongestant for that. I also got a prescription for cough medicine with codeine (omg it tastes NASTY!).

I possibly have the flu. Or another virus. A culture was taken if I get a notification tomorrow about Tamiflu prescription to pick up I have the flu. Otherwise a virus. I was also told to stay home from work today and tomorrow (I have Wednesday and Thursday off) and go from there depending on if i have the flu.

The IC is still flaring up and now everytime I cough i feel like someone is stabbing my groin.

I'm just having so much fun in 2015.

{{{{{Askye}}}}} That just too much. Feel better.

TCG is home again today because we're expecting another foot of snow. I'm starting to get used to him being home on Mondays.

Our wings are not tired.

Askye, I do hope you are past this quickly.

sj, I recommend hot chocolate and snuggles.

Damn. The place that had asked for my student recommendations and asked if I was planning to be in town any time soon? I sent my student recs, and they informed me that they've reviewed my materials and they're not going to be making me an offer.

I'm sorry, Hil. I hope something great comes along soon.
