The borrowers

[first_fallen]

I would like to borrow the collection when you are done. I love short stories :)

You are welcome to, indeed, but will have to get in line: I've already promised it to Lara first. Sorry! You can crane over her shoulder and tell her to hurry up lots. Alternatively I might just buy her her own copy for her birthday, she was very excited about it. When is her birthday, anyway?

Am saddened by your tweets re horrible weekend. What happened? *concerned*

Lara's bday is in August, usually at the same time as DF, the 10th I think.

Eh, weekend was very very busy. Also ended with headache and fight with P about thesis that won't be finished this year. Sigh. It just won't die.

Dear gods, what is it going to take to bury that thesis? Staked through the heart and buried at a crossroads with a contents page full of garlic? Because we can arrange that, you know. Simply say the word and we can put a team together.

I'm sorry to hear that it's lingering. I know how the wretched things take over your life and make doing anything else impossible. I was only able to finish my last one after my nice supervisor staged an intervention and forcibly reduced my teaching load, I have no idea how P even manages it with a full-time job. Also, they're notorious for wear and tear on significant others. Fortunately I never managed to coincide a significant other with a significant thesis write-up, which is in retrospect probably significant.

Speaking of Hugo awards, thought you might like this little dive into what the Hugo awards would have looked like if they were handed out in Victorian times... :-)
