Per my post last night, in which I was thwarted from getting take-n-bake pizza ( Read more... )

Let's just say it's been a long and stressful week, and leave it at that. I'm very ready to go home in half an hour and do as little as possible this weekend (which means all my usual errands and chores, but nothing much else AFAIK). I am thankful that we ended up going out for dinner last night (SO's birthday, a couple of days belated) so we can ( Read more... )

Am still woefully behind on marking drafts. Those have to be finished within the next three days, along with checking over the peer critiques. Also I must write a quiz, look over and revise lectures and discussion material, and grade several book reviews. Again, by Monday ( Read more... )

But first, a big *squee* because my gift at hd_holidays posted today! It's called " No Happy Ending," but is not as dark as the title might suggest, although definitely angsty. Whoever the author was took seriously my wish for having one of them genuinely bisexual, and that was absolutely lovely to see. The structure is quite interesting, as it's written non- ( Read more... )

One down, one to go...

Am going to give SO a promised headrub now, then bed. Apologies to those I owe comments and other stuff to!
