Yay! My teacher just emailed us with an "URGENT" in the subject line--class will consist of us working from home tonight and putting together a worksheet of what we learned from the reading for the past two weeks. The snow didn't worry her, but the blizzard-like wind predicted for tonight did.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

Oh, lordy, they're revamping the school assignment system again in San Francisco.
At least this makes it more likely Matilda will go to the elementary school we prefer.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
He is from a Commonwealth country, though.
True dat. I love his name.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I love his name.
Shame about his game!
Sorry. Never liked the guy. For some reason I felt I had to pick between a) him and Andy Roddick--picked Roddick b) him and Pat Rafter--picked Rafter. And this Australian Open it looks like his countrymen picked Federer to cheer for over him.
He sour.
Maybe in a week my nails will have grown out enough I can get them all to the same (short) length. I should start taking care of them. Maybe even paint them like you funky girls.
I wore a necklace today. I feel very adorned. Still not quite making it to earrings. Even though I polished this necklace before wearing it, earrings still felt like too much work. Strange perception.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Birthday Felicitations, Suzi!
A flister is calling it "snowverkill".
I have never been comfy on facebook. A cosmetic and/or functional revamp hardly makes a difference to me. But for those with a preference, I hope it settles soon.

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

Yes, you should have a packed lunch for the train.

People are trying to eat my brain. I am caught translating between someone for who English is not their first language and a native speaker who writes is the most brain-twisting and indirect way. It's making me crazy.

Mister Kitty has been lying on my chest. I'm pretty sure this violates the ergonomic specifications for working from home.
And it is really awkward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would be so psyched for a snow day tomorrow! Not that it would affect me personally, but my meetings would be cancelled, allowing for a mid-afternoon pedicure.
