Hanging out at the coffee shop until class at 6 where I will present my training module, turn in the draft of it and hope for zero-4 edits. Woo. I'm so tired of school right now and I still have an entire paper left to write. Luckily, the paper is a super-interesting history paper and so it should be fine once I get going. I...

Always with those papers to write or anything like that, the starting is always the pain the the ass but after u get started, then it's usually all good and u don't even notice how fast u are ready.

I had a dream last night that I gave birth. It was odd because I don't quite remember being pregnant during the dream at all and also because I was very bitter that I did not get any time to bond with the baby after birth. Who knows why that happened? I maybe watched one SVU with a fetus in it, but that baby died...

So the blog overhaul is going exceptionally well. The new layout is changed, trouble-shot, and Widgetized. i should probably validate it and look at it on other browsers still. The domain name is purchased and propogated. This caused some trouble this morning as they switched it over night and I woke up with 3 redirects directing me from the admin-side of my CMS to a...

I'm back.
And taking advantage of it.

For my birthday, I was surprised with a three month renewal subscription. Hopefully I get so totally into it that I want to renew again. That'd be swell. I'll be around until July at least.

Please be interesting.

my husband is stationed here. blah. I'm hating the weather!
bagheerawhiskey:
just from Oklahoma. I figured the weather would be similar... not so much. it's always 20* colder here than in Tulsa. drives me nuts!

haha on my dad's old computer, pre-1994, we played these games called Scorched Earth and Lemmings, did you ever play those?

love, until your hands bleed
i met you for the first time, disappointedly,
and after such anticipation_i thought my body
would just shake forever beneath you
and the unforgettable, sweet release of tension
quickly became addictive so i looked for you
in every touch, learning the difference
between this hand and that one
hoping some day you would come to be mine
or at least...

Hey, I was just looking at your profile and lamenting your departing. Now I can unlament your arrival, hurray!

I'm ok. Very busy at the moment. Taking a French exam tomorrow, teaching, reading, etc. etc. How about you? What's shakin' in your neck of the woods?

Not guilty, but welcome back!

I get to see Kyle today.
I'm so excited I can hardly keep myself together, I don't know what I'm going to do through four hours of work in an hour frown
wren001:
Hey, I'm back. How's history?

Sometimes, it really frustrates me that I have a boyfriend who is seven hours away. It's somewhat worse when he's in Los Angeles for a weekend and there's just no way that I could impulsively drive to see him. I can't wait until next year when we live together. it'll be such a relief.

Seeing Kyle this weekend was really great. I surprised him with a bottle of Chrome. It was cute. I was kicking around the idea of buying it for him because he's been wearing axe and that needs to change. So I went to the mall on Thursday and realized I didn't actually have time to go in, I just had time to drive by and...

Class has started.
Life is much busier than I was used to over the summer.
No fun.

But it's nice to be back around my history friends.
wren001:
Yeah, ditto.

smile or frown ?????

Well, in fact, there are a few people I haven't seen naked yet -- but I guess one has to leave some part of their lives unfulfilled wink

But you do look hot in that dress smile

I'm taking a class on Visual Culture and American History. And I'm teaching ancient greece!

What are you taking?

I'm reading Ecstasia by Francesca Lia Block right now. It's fantastic, of course. Cos She's just completely fantastic. I'm really enjoying reading some early work by one of my favorite authors, cos I don't take the opportunity to do that often. And it's nice because most of her non-Weetzie Bat fiction is written in the form of a poem these days or at least the...

And you should continue to report back to us.

That sounds interesting--I'm reading just Dilthey right now, and also a novel by the name of "A Short History of Tractors in Ukranian" by Marina Lewycka. It was shortlisted for the Orange Prize in Great Britain. Otherwise I'm just enjoying German beer and the wines from the Mosel and Saar rivers. biggrin

Dear Jess, There are so many things to do that there aren't enough hours in the day. Although you can enjoy the wide range of experiences, a part of you longs for deeper meaning. You may feel preoccupied by all the external noise in your life right now and wish that you had the time and wherewithal to delve into the pleasures that you know...

Well, I'm a gemini, so I guess I have a built-in bipolar disorder wink

I'm fine. Taking care of the daughter while the wife works, which is fun, except for today when said kid only sleeps for 20 minutes instead of 2 hours.

I'm doing some reading in US 19th century popular culture. Wow, we're on whacked out country!

How are you? How was Europe???

I'm an Aries too, but I think a Cancer moon. I have to check on that, because the moon supposedly can make a big difference... actually, if it makes any difference, it all makes a difference. Astrology is just not the *ars* it used to be in the Medieval period... *sigh* I'd like to write a book sometime on actual astrological _praxis_ from about 1200-1500 sometime, including how many medieval philosophers and theologians (incl. Thomas Aquinas) subscribed to the opinion that the stars have an influence ... at least on our bodies and, through our bodies, they indirectly influence the soul. Although according to Aquinas, they can never erase free will entirely. The stars incline [men to act], they do not necessitate [anything], as the old saying goes.

Did you all get to Europe, or is that later?

I too am very pleased by the whole Yankees run in the last several weeks, even though I can't follow the games very well here in Germany.

I think it really started after (or while) they won 2 out of 3 against Boston, don't you think? I think this may sound corny, but it showed them that they actually are a pretty damn good team, when they really focus.

Lizardam, one of my friends here on SG, is a big fan of the Mets and a real Yankees hater. It's nice to find someone who is a Yankees fan and still has a crush on Derek. He's pretty damn irresistable, I think. If I were a woman I know I'd be thinking about him in his non-baseball capacities. biggrin

I'm glad to see Richardson brought Wren back from the dead, too. Now we can continue to politely disagree on your page about misogynistic tendancies among the ancient Greeks!! biggrin
