 - End-of-semester: tons of work to do and a huge-ass paper to write before Saturday. I'm tired of staring at a blank page in Word, so I'm here to stare a blank page in lj.

Wednesday: HOB for 4-11. That means I ( Read more... )

Wheeeeeeee, this looks like fun! I want it! A bubble-blowing dish scrubber! Ooo, and I want the Beetle Spork, too. (I don't really know what I'd do with it, I think I just like saying 'beetle spork'.)

I had a really really really really really really really really really great time with ofmagdalena and zodarzone this weekend. Oh yeah, and grf came home for a brief ( Read more... )
