Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Buffy writer Tim Minear
Of course it was.

Well, this is distracting me from worrying about Casper, who got a crown today and is in pain. I actually reread the Bureaucracy thread about Gus last week while bored at work, coincidentally enough.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh god, I just caught that. Heh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

You know, Tim should just get a time machine and go back in time to write for Buffy. It'd be the easiest solution to the confusion.

Our professorial types might get a kick out of this. The student in question strikes me as a New Guy in the making, too.

I may have to seize the cat.

We'll also be doing a group project in April, and she had us get together with our groups for the first time last night for some in-class discussion. I have to keep reminding myself to work well with others and not dominate the discussion--everyone in the group is really smart, but one is pretty quiet, another is also a bit reticent, the third is really interested in discussing stuff but gets off track, so I was working with the more reticent member to keep her reined in and focused. We gave the quiet guy the task of presenting our results to the class to draw him out more.

I've found there are a lot of smart, quiet people in library school. Who mostly hate presenting in front of a group. It's an odd experience, coming from education, where everybody performs 3 - 5 shows a day and thus is entirely comfortable being the center of attention.

ETA: I failed to mention earlier that all 3 of the projects I've been working on today are group projects. Blech.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Am I wrong in wanting more drama from a former member of this community going on a major sci-fi portal and pretending to have invented it?

(I'm bored and Bob is at school all day.)

Heh. Well, the day's not over yet.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Who was Fast Eddie here? Or was he Gus?

Who was Fast Eddie here? Or was he Gus?

That's what I'm thinking.
