We can come by between classes. Usually I use that time to copy over my class notes with a system of different colored pens. But it's been pointed out to me that that's, you know...insane.

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.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Oh, beloved, you and your "but it could be useful/isn't it cool?" habits in thrift stores.

Man, I feel this.

We are going to go through the office tomorrow, which is beginning to look like a Hoarders episode. It's going to be a LOOOONG process.

The office here is something out of a Hoarders episode. The rest of the house is not (cluttered, yes, damn you, dining room table, but not Hoarders level at all), but the office is from hell. One time I posted a picture of the dining room table because I wanted to demonstrate how much shit was on it, and I wasn't embarrassed, because, well, dining room tables pile up. But I would be embarrassed to ever ever EVER post a picture of the office. Ugh.

The garbage can is full, but there's room in the recycling bin, so I'm going to dump some paper tomorrow.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Paging Hec! Would you be willing to answer a few questions about pitching to the 33 1/3 folks? M submitted a proposal to them last year, which wasn't accepted, and is now wondering how best to retool/rethink it for the next round. Any chance you'd have some advice to offer?

Sure! But it's gotten way more competitive than when I got in, and they've changed editors (and publishers). So I can only advise what worked for me. Not sure what the current team prefers.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

In my favorite location, aurelia! I'm still looking for ways to move up there.

Waffles with ice cream and blackberries:

Remember when we were bemoaning the shortcomings of tumblr and the eerie quietness of lj? Well, someone seems to be trying to develop a new online fandom platform. It's already soared past its indigogo funding goal, and you can sign up for the free post-beta if you don't want to contribute. [link]

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

How did it get to be Monday already?

Listening to Joe Haldeman's concert.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Cool weather this morning. Got the stuff all set up and have coffee and a song, so you know good start to the day. I actually got some more stuff out for the sale today.

Went to the pool at 7:45. Swimming is hard in the morning.

Punishingly Intricate

Today I switch my winter for summer clothes and bin up a bunch for yard sale/ clothing swap/donation. I'm feeling pretty ruthless as I'm hating many of my clothes right now. I just need to figure out what to listen to as I work.
