I had a dream the other night that prominently featured someone I dated when I was TWENTY and have only had the most casual of friendly-professional relations with lo these 15 years. (Happily not a sexytimes dream, 'cause eww.)

Then again I got earwormed the other week with the Gummi Bears cartoon theme song, which honestly I had forgotten existed until there it was bouncing here and there and everywhere in my brain. Synapses is weird, folks.

really all day long in the house together is too long. even playing with the babysitter now, mac is working my nerves.

I am trying to do chores in the kitchen.

The concept of sushi is the slightly sweet rice, right?

I abhor wasabi, and have to ask for my sushi made without it. It hurts my sinuses. I've had chefs send me back the same sushi with the wasabi scraped off, like that fixes things. Which, it don't. Owie.

The guy in the cube next to me has a mug that looks like a paper cup with a plastic lid. Freaked me out the first time I had to move it. Way too heavy. Now I kinda covet it. Way cooler than my two-companies-back travel mug. But I just passed someone's desk who has a mug from the same company. Almost started a conversation with her about it. Then I remembered I was on my way to talk to people I already knew I liked.

I have yummy mac and cheese with sharp cheddar in the oven right now, but now I want sushi :( With very little chance of getting any any time soon, as we are expecting another snow event tomorrow (10 inches or so. Let's hope that it's men measuring, so that it is actually only 6 inches ;)

I'm wondering when school will be open again. So far, no word on tomorrow, but it's looking like the roads won't really be cleared enough for all the faculty and staff to get in from the suburbs.

I've got a phone interview tomorrow morning, and then after that, if school isn't officially open, I'm going to see if I can go get my notes and stuff from my office so that I can do some work at home.

Yeah, I had one of those and the night cleaners tossed it.

My interview tomorrow is for a job in Chicago. I'm not sure I can muster Chicago enthusiasm right now. I'm going so stir-crazy with this snow.

Oh, damn. You really notice the difference the moment you touch it. That's incredibly annoying.

His isn't on his desk. Now I'm paranoid that it's been tossed too. I'm showing untoward interest in his possessions.

Yeah, they probably didn't realize it until it was in the trash, and didn't want to fish it out.

I don't want the cleaners to throw away anything from my desk, although I can understand the temptation. There are bug traps under all our desks in the new digs. Whoever was here before us must have been pretty nasty.
