Dude, it's like we're having a minor Sherlock Holmes fest around my house this week.  Seriously, Sunday was the contemporary Sherlock series, which everyone enjoyed except for the major cliffhanger at the end there.  Monday my brother borrowed the 2009 Sherlock Holmes movie from me which got me thinking about it, and then of course we watched House ( Read more... )

Man, it's Tuesday and it's bloody freezing in my room.  Argh ( Read more... )

Hooray!  It's Wednesday!

No, I don't really know why Wednesday is significant, other than I got off early today (sweet!), and the week is already half over.  I'm okay with all of that.

So somewhere in the past week Mother Nature decided to go off her meds, and become schizophrenic for people in St. Louis and Iowa City, and just depressed for those of ( Read more... )

Okay, I managed to go probably about 60 hours without having a moment of painful awkwardness until last night's swing dancing.  This time it was so-worried-about-saying-something-wrong-that-I-can't-speak awkward.  Ugh, I swear, I'm going to choke on my own awkward neuroses one of these days.  Can you do that?  Death by self-inflicted awkwardness ( Read more... )

Good evening, people, how's it going?  I have to say, the last five days have been quite interesting and often action-packed.  Friday was the usual swing dancing joy, followed by a pleasant and unexpected visit that kept me up until four a.m., when I had fully planned to be in bed before one.  Yet, despite all the expelled energy of Friday, I ( Read more... )

Very quickly, things that have made this day worthwhile ( Read more... )

Happy February everyone.  Oh, boy, I'm so glad it's Saturday.  So much happened this week I can barely remember what went on before Thursday.  Let's see, orientation day was fine.  The whole getting up at six to get to work by eight turned out to be fine, I actually had time to shower and all that, and I was still in the building around 7:45.  The ( Read more... )

Hi, everyone.  I believe in response to my outing yesterday with Lee to see the new Sherlock Holmes flick, it has decided to be exceptionally foggy this weekend.  Seriously, I don't think I've ever seen it this foggy.  To quote a wise robot, even the movie The Fog didn't have this much fog.  But it suits my spooky London mood, and I found the movie ( Read more... )

Man, these last few weeks have just been packed. Busy, busy, busy, but the next couple of weeks shouldn't be quite as insane. Hopefully. It would be nice if the weather wouldn't throw wrenches into the well-oiled machine, but we'll have to see about that. I missed part of Tuesday and all of Wednesday this week due to the White Witch's reign on ( Read more... )

Hi, all. My bed is now aubergine. Sheets came yesterday, and they are aubergine. Which is a nice, slick way of saying my bed is the same color as an eggplant. Score.

Things remain much the same as they ever did, despite the fact that my bed is the color of a vegetable. Heather talked to me on Tuesday, tumbling0after talked to me on Monday, I've got ( Read more... )
