Oooh, very much Benedryl made me sleepy. That almost never happens. Mmmm, sleepy.
Hey, if it means I don't have to read any more, woo and, might I add, a big hoo.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Shortest lived sleepiness ever.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Fruit discussion. Hmm. I have a pot of supermarket-bought blackberries that I swear have been genetically modified - they're bigger than my thumb. Apparently they sometimes use polystyrene 'tunnels' to make these things grow bigger. The things you learn researching large blackberries.
I have a physiotherapy appointment in about five minutes (she's coming to my house). This is amusing because the subject of my dissertation research is physiotherapy and social concepts of disability (specifically, whether physiotherapists are trained in the latter). Can't wait to see how she does.

Rice cakes and cheese.
Damn. Just heard that I didn't get the teaching bursary which was my last best hope for PhD funding for the coming academic year. I wasn't really expecting to get it, as competition for this year's funding has been ridiculous (recession-related, I think, at least partly), but it's a bit of a shame. Time to start the funding applications round for 2010 onwards...

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
That's too bad, Seska. Good luck with other funding sources.

I'm sorry, Seska. Good luck finding something else.

“Not dead yet!”
Apparently we as a group have failed to provide appropriate encouraging gestures to those among us who have had hysterectomies:
I... I...
I have no response to that.

The expression on your face is thanks enough.

Thanks, WindSparrow and sj. I have other funding ideas for next year which I'll be working on! Meanwhile, might have to find a job in October. Now there's a very strange thought.
Yes, that cake is... interesting.

After not too surprisingly gaining a few more pounds during the beach weekend, I am trying to start today off healthy by having oatmeal for breakfast and drinking water today. We'll see how long that lasts.
