Well, I'm up past my bedtime but it's worth it 'cause I got all my homework done! ('xcept for the reading I'm saving so I don't fall asleep or get on the computer in between classes tomorrow. Self, I know thee. Though I'd like to read my Terry Pratchett book, Soul Music, instead ( Read more... )

Heading off again today, in less than 45 minutes. My plane departs Chicago (Midway) at 1:20 and, barring any unfortunate and unforeseen (except in strange stress-dreams) circumstances, will arrive in Salt Lake City at 4:00. Whereupon I will scramble like a White Rabbit to collect my baggage and grab my seat on the shuttle, which will drop me in ( Read more... )

It's been a great start to what looks like a great year, with family and food and friends--although I barely stayed up past midnight on Saturday night. About 11:30 I found myself lying on the couch, with various family members scattered all over the family room, asking plaintively if we had to stay up till midnight? I got to bed at 10:30 last night ( Read more... )

I slept in late today, and was only awakened about about 10:30 by a baby gurgling on my stomach. Being awakened by the Buglet is much nicer than being awakened by someone shrieking about how I need to get up! But Rosalind took the Buglet away quickly once I mentioned that I'd stayed up till midnight (trying to finish Christmas fanfic; I lose) and I ( Read more... )

So I stayed up till 2:00 last night working on duelist's Christmas present, although really I only worked on it from about 1:00 on. Rosalind and I spent most of the afternoon watching Bleach and cooking dinner; it was really fun working with her, and she seems to adore Bleach as much as I do. I'm really glad that she's been able to look past the silliness ( Read more... )

So dialup hates me, and slow computers hate me even more. I swear, next time I want to use my parents' computer, I should bring along a novel to read while it decides whether or not to open each page. HOWEVER ( Read more... )

Oh good golly gosh--12:03 last night, Fi turned around from her computer and tossed me a bag of dried apricots while solemnly stating, "Here you go, you bum."

So my mother reads our lj--keeps her updated on my life--and she noticed my raving about the snakebite stuff this morning. So:

( Why Talking With My Mom About Ninja Is So Much Fun )

I’M BAAAACK!

And showered and refreshed and feeling really clean for the first time in almost a week. I even managed to get most of the dirt out from underneath my fingernails (inspiring a new story in the process, which then necessitated a 10-minute perusal of the Oxford English Dictionary to find if sanglant is an English word. I don’t think it ( Read more... )

So I am woefully behind in my duties to friends and such. Long day/weekend, yo. But I did go to my dad's office party yesterday with the rest of my family, and race go-karts, and play in the bumper boats, and tag along after the rest of the family as they played Mini-Golf and I did "So troublesome" Shikamaru imitations. The go-karts were the best. ( Read more... )
