Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.  

[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.

"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.

“Not dead yet!”

Laundry

Paying bills

Bank run

Drugstore run

And the crew that's supposed to be here to start work on our patio enclosure is nowhere to be found.

At least I discovered I don't have to take the cat to the vet-- he's okay for boarding.

Okay, I know that you all want to know about this kid's birthday party that mom called about at 2AM. I called her and left a message that I wasn't going. So, today she's telling me that she didn't want to go to the birthday party and she decided to stay home, etc. I'm like if you didn't want to go, then why the hell did you call me to "invite" me? @@
