Snow day yesterday, though we barely got any snow.  (My dad says 30 miles west of us got 8 inches, and Mary Alice says she got 10 inches.)  So my mom and I went to work and my dad got the day off.

Classes don't start until after MLK Day (which also means the Grille [i.e., the cheaper on-campus food option] is closed until 2pm next Tuesday) so it's ( Read more... )

I checked his blog but didn't see anything ( Read more... )

I did jobhunting&applying, though I didn't get any fic written.  [Have a slew of unfinished pieces but can't seem to get into any of them.  Grr.]  Am apparently starting my next HBS temp gig this Friday instead of next Monday.  I wonder if that means they're doing scheduled overlap.

Today's best job listing is this one.  "I am looking for a ( Read more... )

Is Lily (Evans Potter) a redhead in canon? If so, why did I never notice that when reading the books?
