Congrats on the finalized job offer, Hil! Waiting for those things sucks.

Happy birthday, askye!!

Zen, that sounds like a cool hobby. Too bad you don't live here. A lot of the campus departments have art shows that showcase local artists that rotate through every couple of months; your stuff sounds just up their alley.

Thrive to spite them

Mom called, or rahter she dialed and when I answered the phone my nephew was singing Happy Birthday. His idea! Then they hung up to read stories.

He's almost 7 I figure that's pretty good for him.

Then I got into a weird situation in Second Life which can have more drama than any kind of fandom wankiness out there. Basically two differnt sets of friends that slightly overlap threw surprise parties for me at the same time. FEelings got hurt because I coudln't figure out how to split my time and frankly liked/knew the majority of the people at one better than the other. But feelings HURT. So most of the part was me in IMs trying to smooth things over and making it worse. Whatever. I was all sad because I really don't have any one to celebrate with in RL and I got an awesome party with people who really know me and celebrated my weirdness.

Happy Birthday, askye!!! I'm sorry about the drama. You deserve a drama free birthday.

I had an OB appointment today. ltc is doing well. She made it difficult to get her heartbeat because she does not sit still, but when they did get it, it was good and strong. I need to make an appointment with the anesthesiologist next week so that I can figure out what to expect. I still haven't gained much weight, which doesn't seem to be a concern. I suspect this would not be the case if I could have milkshakes and unlimited portions of pasta.

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

So, my mother is still trying to convince me that I shouldn't get a first-floor apartment, because it's dangerous. I asked where she thought I should live, then, since Cincinnati doesn't really seem to have high-rise apartment buildings. She had no answer. She's also scared because I'm going to look at apartments alone, and according to Law & Order, rapists and murderers use Craigslist ads to lure unsuspecting women. I don't know how she thinks I managed to live in DC for seven years.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tell her about the three-ways. But don't mention chili.

Then mention a 5 way and see if her head explodes

At Blue Ash Chili, you can get a 6-way (it's a 5-way with deep-fried jalapenos on top).

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Zen, that sounds like a cool hobby. Too bad you don't live here. A lot of the campus departments have art shows that showcase local artists that rotate through every couple of months; your stuff sounds just up their alley.

Oh, that sounds great! I doubt anyone would want to showcase this "art" of mine, though; it's mainly dioramas that entertain my inner child. Dinosaurs are often involved.
