Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

"The Senate today have voted to make me a god in Palmyra. They'll put a little statue to me in the temple, and people will bring offerings to me, asking me to bring rain or cure their father's gout. Tell me, Livia: if I'm a god, even in Palmyra, how do I cure gout?!" Augustus, "I Claudius"

Calli - be sure to visit the Russian cathedral in Helsinki It has some lovely medieval icons.

Also, take a day trip over to Tallin (sp?) which is supposed to be lovely - but be sure to wear good walking shoes. Lots of cobblestone streets.

(I was there once on a work trip and would like to go back)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's a bit cooler here than it has been. Also, it's windy.

I am trying to do the November schedule with us down 4 20-hour a week positions and 1 40-hour a week position and it is a total disaster. I have reached the point where I need to take a break or cry.

Not helping is my desire to use myself as the person making up the slack in the schedule which is not actually physically possible; stop it, flea.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Don't do it, flea.

Have a great trip, Calli!

meara, do you listen to podcasts? That might be a good option for semi-attentive times.

Not a podcast person really, but my friend got the roku to work—she said it was a weird issue where it didn't see the right network, but it had happened before so she was able to fix it. Yay

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

The Boston Terrier got adopted out, so no foster for me. 3 hours of block-walking and the rain stopped, so that was more pleasant than I thought it was going to be.

Now food and TV.

A friend came over and brought me some food and watched great British bake off with me for a bit, so that was nice.

I have arrived back in San Francisco. I get to be on-call tomorrow with jet lag, so that's going to be entertaining.

I had an unprecedented internet moment. My engaging with this jackhole dude caused him to apologize to me. He commented back to me making fun of me, and I said he proved my point that it is very hard to engage with people who are mean wh n I am being thoughtful. I am under no illusions that I provided a transformation, but baby steps. Also a person on the internet apologized to me!
