Adults Should Read Adult Books.  Discuss amongst yourselves!  I shouldn't be typing at all, since I just got a steroid shot to the wrist. Thank GOD I am not phobic about needles, but I still don't like it and it feels ikky.

Here's how the article starts:

It is about 100 degrees where I live, and big chunks of Southern California is burning.  It's not so great for my asthma, though it's not nearly so bad as it is near the fires, where the air quality has actually been listed as Hazardous.  Marina, if you are ok, please let us know, ok?  I've been trying to restrict exercise, but I will have to get ( Read more... )

 As you probably know, I'm writing up some stuff about *Twilight* on my other journal, moonyprof .  It's probably going to slow down a bit because I really do have to start working again on my Theatre as Business article--I'm not sure whether the deadline is September 1st or September 30th, and I kind of freaked.

While I was surfing around, I found some ( Read more... )

Just wanted to say that Yima on GOS was kind enough to turn Astiee's Extreme Skin : Sparkling Flesh into a vampire default. She made one using Sussi's Mirror Gold eyes, which you can find here--



and one made so that your vamp keeps the original eye color (presumably you could add contacts to your tiny heart's content). You can find that here.

If you don't take breaks while grading, suddenly students are getting grades that are not quite so good.  Well, not the grades so much, but the comments start to veer towards the snarky. Even worse right now, because my MRI test results came back and it turns out that Achilles tendonitis and plantar fasciitis are what I *don't* have.  It's a couple ( Read more... )

Small earthquake out here.  They're all different--you could hear a slight rumble, but mostly a loud POOOOM! sort of sound and a shock as though someone had run a large truck into the wall behind my house.  The cats hated it.  But it seemed to be over quickly and I convinced them it was cool, and now it's as though it never happened.

Also, I went ( Read more... )

So here's what's up with me:

I went to the physical therapist, and she thinks it's not just tendinitis but some sort of nerve thing.  The pain problem goes all the way from my ankle straight up my knee and into my hip and back, so now I need to do some exercises and and something called "nerve flossing" and go back about twice a week for a lot of ( Read more... )

Don't bite your TONGUE, stoopit! Ow! Seriously, that really hurt. Gum-related incident, nothing to do with grading or the movie I saw this afternoon.

Busy weekend, grading and shopping for Thanksgiving, but I also squeezed in going to see *Twilight.* And I was very happy I did, because when I got back I was able to read the m15m version by cleolinda . ( Read more... )

From the most recent blog post of cleolinda , there are going to be Twilight Dolls.    Robert Pattinson quote:

"But he's happy about the fact there will be an Edward doll in his likeness. 'Oh yes, I like that. The doll is cool. I mean that’s what I really want. I want to have a little button in the back so you can do stuff with it. ' "

The mind boggles, and I ( Read more... )
