Awesome! I'll be here. I have a friend coming to town to stay with me on the 14th, and the ballet's on the 12th, but otherwise I'm free. It'd be great to see you!

Ah all makes sense now ;P Jope you have a great week too x

Oh, and Scott Walker! So amazing. I've been obsessed with The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore forever. What a voice!

Thanks for the camera suggestions.

Silly boy! Soup goes in the USB!

Happy birthday.

I celebrated by approaching some random motard with high and tight and digi-camo backpack. He introduced me to another Marine and we just stood there shooting the shit.

It's remarkable that two guys I don't even know suddenly were like the only people at my whole school who I felt like I knew at all.

There are good and bad parts of Richmond. The high school is one of two in the district in really bad neighbourhoods. Being able to go to another school, at the very least, will be crucial. I just hope she gets a good therapist. I'm not sure which hospital she's in, but we're actually pretty lucky in that department. We have three competent and caring hospitals locally.

Thanks for the compliment- I'm here for the long haul.

She's still coming! I'm picking her up at LaGuardia this Saturday, and she's going home Monday night. We're having brunch with a few of my friends, too-should be fun!

No, seriously, I can't wait to see her. We're going to the Met, even though she's not the most mobile person, and to buy loads of I <3 NY stuff for my cousins in Brazil (she's headed there later this month for a good long stretch). I can't wait to show her where I work, right by the Central Park Zoo.

There's a conference related to my work in Ankara next year. I'd like to see Turkey.

I'm trying to work out a roadtrip to Austin from Atlanta in January. I'll let you know if it works out that I'll be in your neighborhood.

Keep working on those photos...would love to see more!

I'm jealous of your Texas weather right now. We seem to have skipped fall and gone straight to a wet, nasty winter here. I keep waiting for the leaves to turn but nothing's pretty yet. There's enough time left for me to be hopeful, right?

*punch*

Better get some arnica gel for your leg. Don't want to make that worse than it is.



It's starting to get cool out here, too. It's gonna rain Tuesday & I'm happy about that. Plus, I get to wear my sweater dresses.



Heal fast.

I was so close to actually trying craigslist. Thank goodness for the back burner.

why thank you, that was lovely. It has been raining all weekend and I have loved every minute of it.

Thanks

That class is a trainwreck-the professor who spoke that day doesn't really pay attention to the first few rows-both of the profs have convinced themselves that they're actually doing a good job and can't be told otherwise. At least the professors in my other classes seem to have things together. The other intro class I have is amazing (tech-learning about how web engines are built, how Unix and Linux started, online multimedia projects) and is actually something a lot of people have to take as well, but they way the class is structured works much more efficiently and is actually something I'll use for my job.

Thanks. It is, but it's not because he's oblivious. It's because he doesn't know what he wants.

Awesome. I'll see him tonight & commence with the beatdown
