So I realized that maybe, making a post about how I am having A Week and sometimes things are just hard, and not answering any comments, and not making any more posts for the next week, might be worrisome or something.

First thing I want to do is post a couple of links that you should totally check out. Two people have given some great excellent ( Read more... )

Probably not related to most of the various and sundry thoughts most people are having.

( I never actually thought I'd be relating to Finn quite like this. )

Oh my god, guys, that week was wretched.

To sum up: I started teaching a new class!  Two new classes, in fact, at two hours a day, four days a week, an hour away by train, smack dab in the middle of the day, thereby tying me up from about 10 AM to about 4 for approximately no money.  But it is resume-building!  And it is some money, anyway, and it ( Read more... )

All right, I haven't actually returned.  I am still not quite back to the United States from the Wilds of Europe; this will happen mid-afternoon of May 6th, right in time to see the MCR Philly show with so much jetlag OMFG.  But I'm crashing with a friend in the Moderate Civilization of England (in contrast to the Wilds of Europe--though I don't ( Read more... )

Whew it's been a while.

So, yeah.  Europe is great.  There are castles and Bavarians and scenery and gorgeous churches and lots and lots and lots of history.  I'm loving it.  You meet super-cool people in hostels.  (These friends are new friends are golden.)  And it feels so, so good to actually not be online all the time, to be standing on top of ( Read more... )

Ugh.  So, I'm off to Europe tomorrow afternoon.

(That's not the 'ugh'.  The ugh is all the stuff I've been running ragged doing trying to get ready to go off to Europe tomorrow afternoon.  Like, I...'participated' in LJ-Strike?  Mostly because I couldn't get to a computer during those 24 hours anyway.)

My internet will be spotty but available for the ( Read more... )

WHY WILL TEH INTERNETS NOT LET ME PURCHASE AIRPLANE TICKETS?  WHY IS THIS???  GRRR, ARGH.

WTF, KAYAK?  FAILCAKES, INTERNET.  FAILCAKES TIMES A MILLION.

I will get from London to Philly on the afternoon of May the 6th.  I will see MCR twice in two days, then fly to Iowa before going home.  These things will occur.  As soon as I beat orbitz into ( Read more... )

So, okay, I need some help evaluating the idiocy of this idea:

I'm going to Europe for the month of April.  The entire month of April, plus bits of March and May.  Because I'm a total slacker, I haven't actually bought my tickets yet, but I've got a friend who's getting married on the 10th of May, so I'm coming back to the states in time for that.  ( Read more... )

So, apparently I'm moving to Lawrence, Kansas.

I'll be excited about this tomorrow, but for now I need to be really mopey over not moving to upstate New York.  Tell me happy things?  Cheer me up?  (Hey,
