Swouncing

Poking my head between Zoom lessons, to update that we're still as fine as possible.

(What's worse than a really long Zoom lesson? A really long Zoom lesson that has to be stopped multiple times because of alarms! With students who have been woken several times each night by alarms, so already find it difficult to concentrate, and a lecturer with a similar challenging schedule, yay.)

Take care, y'all. We're trying to do our best here, as well.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Good to "see" you, Nilly!

Our wings are not tired.

An abundance of virtual hugs sent your way, Nilly. Thanks for checking in.

Sending so much love, Nilly

Hi Nilly—so much love and luck being pushed your way!!! It sounds awful.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Hugs to you and yours, Nilly!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Huh. My JazzFest tickets/wristband is in transit with USPS so I checked the tracking and so far it has gone from NOLA to St Rose to Denver to Houston and back to Denver. Says it’s supposed to get to me on Friday, no idea why it is taking that route. Plenty early, though, which was my only real concern when the website said it would be mailed in early April

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Susan, I definitely empathize with Dylan, as my application count reached 207 this week. I have a phone interview today, though, which is nice.

I have no memory of Coda existing, so I’m not surprised that it was from 2021.

It was good to see Shir and Nilly’s pixels.

Coda is the one about the girl who wants to do music and her parents are deaf, yeah? I think I watched it on streaming.
