"Four times last night with the mathematician." "Who knew?"

Oscar Night 2008 was a wild success. scarfe and I traipsed over to our friend Alicia's house for wine, cake, vegan appetizers and a four-hour Oscarthon (which turned out to be about 2 1/2 hrs long, which was a major improvement over last year's ceremony). I didn't fill out a ballot due to my total failure to see any of the nominated films, and so I was

Any takers?

Hit me up. If you feel like taking a walk on the side of total amateurism. Hi, I lack some technical beta skills. And may not, you know, have ideas. >.>

I totally fail at selling myself. Halp! I'm too Canadian!

[nos4a2no9]

Hehehe, you are very charming in your "amateurism," and you can spot a comma party from 90 metres. I think that qualifies you :-)

But, seriously, you're willing to look at kidfic? This is a new and shocking development!

Also? Keep your Canadianness to yourself. It doesn't fly around these parts, buddy.

[meresy]

Hey, I like kidfic. I have nothing against kidfic.

And I was expecting some solidarity. :P

[nos4a2no9]

Heh, no solidarity for you! That's for the Yanks and the Brits! :-)

I always think you have more fic-phobias than you do. It's just AUs, right? Anyway, I'll send the story out tomorrow so you can have it when you're ensconced in the lab. \o/

[meresy]

I have very few fic-phobias, really! I mean, relatively. I don't OTP, anyhow. *g*

I might not get to look at it much in lab, but I can print it off to read at lunch. ;)

[nos4a2no9]

Bwah? But I had an image of you sitting in the lab with your little white coat and goggles pouring over my baby-cuddling melodrama! Oh, Meres, how you have shifted my paradigms!

[meresy]

You'd be surprised what I can spend time on in there. :P I'm sorry to destroy your illusions about my industriousness.

I spent a couple hours today catching up a very good-looking grad prospect. I think that was time well spent. *nods*

[nos4a2no9]

Oooh, grad prospect! This is very encouraging! \o/ Any details yet, or do you not want to risk jinxing it?

[meresy]

I can't spell. I meant chatting up. And he's a prospective student for the lab I'm in, not a potential PI for me. On the other hand, pretty.

What? I asked about his research goals. >.>

[nos4a2no9]

Hey, pretty is good! He'll really brighten up the lab, at any rate, right? ;-)

I asked about his research goals.

Holla! You cad!

[meresy]

. . . Did you just say 'holla'? Right before using the word 'cad'? *eyebrow*

[nos4a2no9]

Yeah, I did. What of it? It's my new plan to blend current slang with the traditions of the past.

Oh horsefeathers! That dochebag is up in my grill!

[meresy]

I--

Hm.
