I have an open ticket because there was a problem with my Friends List page bouncing to my Journal page, so I was able to send them an email using that ticket asking about the current problem. I'm hoping I'll get a response.

Natter 73: Chuck Norris only wishes he could Natter
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Not clicking the doll head link. SO not clicking the doll head link.
Well, it's not that bad on a scale of one to Belinda, but everything's relative.
I stayed up too late tonight; ended up getting hungry again and cooking a hamburger at 1 a.m.
Protests in Oakland and Berkeley got violent again. Vandalism and fire.
The main body of the protestors were peaceful and trying to contain an anarchist contingent (known as the "Black Bloc") who seek violent confrontation with the police and lots of fire and vandalism.
There was a march in my neighborhood today which I think was a previously planned peace march, but took on a different timbre after a fatal shooting on Friday night. I could certainly hear the CPD helicopter overhead for several hours.
How can it be only 18F this morning? This is not helping with my emotional urge to never leave the house again....
Cream o Wheat: Off to volunteer for Hour of Code, hopefully warping young minds in a positive direction. They're letting me interact with 5th graders, which is scary.
Panera baked souffle, while not very souffle-like, is delicious. Tried their online ordering rapid pickup deal today, pretty smooth.
Things I hadn't expected to deal with when I signed up for MOOCs: teenage boys from all over the world messaging me for help with their homework. So far, it's just been teenage boys, and none from anywhere in North America, but it's been several of them.

I'm seriously trying to think about how I can take more weekend days off from my mother without offending her. Not having a single conversation was pretty much just what the doctor ordered.
Jesse, can you frame it in such a way that you need to devote an entire day to getting your stuff done without interruption? Maybe take every other Saturday for yourself? Because having a set schedule allows you to make sure you have quality time for her without letting your other responsibilities fall by the wayside.
Last week, while exhausting, was so fantastic. The business part of the business trip went very well, and almost ensures another trip out in Jan/Feb. The personal side? Totally awesome. Dinner with Epic in San Diego, dinner with Pix in San Gabriel (Kat, you were totally missed!), and dinner with Burrell and family in LA--I'm a lucky gal. I'm so glad to have b.orgers just about everywhere I travel. It makes the long flights and crappy hotel rooms so much more worthwhile.
