Just got back from the doctor -- it's not strep, or the flu, or tonsilitis. No, it's something I never would have imagined I could get now that I'm out of school.

I have mono.

W.T.F.

Apparently it's going around to adults, and the doc -- who was very nice, thanks geogal -- has seen several cases of it. And since it's a viral infection, there's ( Read more... )

My, my, how time flies. Halloween came and went with a pretty rockin' party at my place (gotta swipe pics from people), and this past weekend I was briefly in Austin for World Fantasy Con. I only came up to help perkyshai with the banquet, but I was there long enough to play writer-celebrity spotting. Yeah, I'm such a fangirl. Carol Berg was there! And ( Read more... )

Last night I did some of that "hanging out" thing with perkyshai and moonsongsl. :) Brandie made a fantastic pot roast (I really need a crock pot -- I'm lazy and when I get home from work, the last thing I want to do is cook. And while lately Dylan's done a lot of cooking and made some really great meals, it's not fair for it all to be on him.) and I stopped and ( Read more... )

Last night, after doing my homework and my laundry like a good little girl, I set up perkyshai's pool table she's storing at my place (along with her sewing machine and boxes of fabric -- heh, it's almost her own room away from home!). I need to clean up the spare room like mad (and get rid of the gazillion monitors and computer parts I have lying all over ( Read more... )

My God, this month is gonna be busy. Work is already ramping up to be nuts (too many people off too many days of the week). This weekend I've got a bridal shower to go to in Seabrook (meaning I can't drink too many mimosas to drown out the wedding-bliss-vibes, since it's a long ass drive home), spec fic Sunday (with swimming, yay!), and then next ( Read more... )

-Re: Pluto, yeah, I'm a little disappointed it's been downgraded. Every scientific rule/definition has an exception, so Pluto's always been the solar system's in my book. But it makes perfect scientific sense, and it'll serve well in the future to have a specific definition of planet, as we find more and more extrasolar objects. Additionally, it ( Read more... )

--Despite the fact that I'm taking Friday off. Far, far, far too much work to get done at the office, and I have no motivation to do the mundane stuff. I'll be glad once these upgrading/training sessions I'm holding are over, but I'll also be likely bored out of my skull. Such quandaries I face ( Read more... )

-Toothpaste in your eye really bloody hurts. Especially when it's the super minty whitening kind, and you end up stabbing yourself with the tip of your toothbrush on top of that. Don't ask me how I managed that, or even more, how I managed not to cuss up a storm that woke the neighborhood ( Read more... )

Dear Today,

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH STFU.

No love,
Me

Yeah, today is sucking. Send humorous links or stories! Give me small pieces to retain my sanity. Assuming you haven't lost all of yours as well...

My contribution: Squid blog. Considering the octopus boss battle dream I had last night (don't ask, really), seeing this pop up on ( Read more... )
