So this is kind of the calm before the grading storm.  :(  Next week starts the avalanche of papers, tests, then more papers for grading.  But then I'm done until January!  Woot!  I'll only need to worry about moving, then.  Bleck ( Read more... )

Don't mind me.  I'm navel-gazing again.

Yesterday, while walking the pups with

FYI, my yahoo account got hacked this morning by someone in India.  Luckily, I was online and discovered it within 5 minutes, but they definitely sent spam from my account ( Read more... )

So, my insomnia has been back, going on about a week and a half now.  It's definitely a noticeable pattern.

I fall asleep some time after midnight or so and sleep until 5:30 AM.  Usually, I get up to go to the bathroom, and go back to bed to fall back asleep.  Only I haven't been able to do that second part lately.

I'm up until scribefigaro's alarm goes off and ( Read more... )

This weekend, we pretty much just decided to read.

scribefigaro is reading the latest book in A Song of Ice and Fire series.  That book is fucking long, so he's been at it for weeks.  He says it's good though.

Catching up on My Little Ponies.  I'm ( Read more... )

Real life is starting to chill.  At least for approximately the next week or so.  We'll see.

Anyway: Funny story to relate.

Some background:  I'm a big fan of bean burritos.  As a poor grad student, I came up with a way to love beans and rice and cheese and tortillas.  When I moved in with scribefigaro, I shared this love, and he came up with his own ( Read more... )

Things in real life are getting complicated, so I may need to back off of fandom/lj for a little while.

Apologies in advance if I miss commenting to my flist.  Just know that I'm wishing the best for everyone and sending positive vibes whenever I can.

My cell phone is not working.

It's working, it's on, the battery is full, but it has no bars. Cell phone reception has never been an issue for me in this apartment. We do have a lot of cloud cover, but that's also never been an issue in the past.

Of course, my mind is going back to that episode of Criminal Minds where a pair of killers would ( Read more... )
