I received two pieces of postal mail on Saturday. One was an EOB from my health insurance company informing me that the flu shot my employer assured me was $0 will, in fact, be $45. Guess who's getting my bill (if you guess "my employer," you're spot-on!)? The other was my Macalester Today which, in addition to many interesting things, informed me ( Read more... )

Ah, Lupercalia - that ancient Roman holiday involving bloody naked boys whipping women with goat hides. The Romans really knew how to party. This is more my holiday than Valentine's Day. Some of the Romans believed that Lupercalia was the day wolves chose their mates. I have fond memories of sitting in the middle of Bob's Java Hut with Anne, Liz ( Read more... )

First of all, how funny is it that the lj spell checker doesn't recognize 'lj'?

La fiesta de viajes with PF & Arthur was damned fun. Saw eyv for a whole three & a half seconds. Good to see you, man! Watching PF & Arthur get tipsy together was soooo much fun & made me feel very good about the whole is-everyone-getting-along thing. And we were all so proud ( Read more... )

The Evil Midnight Loungeboy What Lounges at Midnight gets in sometime today, so I doubt I'll be 'round much this weekend. So I wanted to wave at everybody ::waves at everybody:: & say, yeah, we'll be good. Drunk off our asses, but good.
