sleep is for losers, i do not endorse this 12 hour nonsense sara is spouting

YOU SHUT YOUR FACE, JOHN JUSTEN. SLEEP IS GLORIOUS AND I FULLY INTEND ON FOLLOWING SARA'S ADVICE IN THE NEAR FUTURE.

maybe not til tuesday or so.

<3 <3 <3 to tehresa (and also sleep)

and find, <3 <3 <3 to John, too, even though he is clearly wrong and crazy and does not understand that it is winter and we are supposed to be HIBERNATING in WARM BEDS right now.

xp this class ends Jan. 15; the rest of it is online content, and there is a ton of it. I'm not doing anything today, though, because I need a freaking day off.

(find = fine)

good for you!!!!! take it off! wait i didn't mean it like that!

hahaha, I will take the day off, but any other taking off is unlikely in light of the fact that it is VERY COLD in my office.

Hey you guys, have been watching my sis' two cavapoo puppies play tug of war with their glorious new toy, a washrag. They are three months old and the GRRR ARR GRRR is very, very funny.

I've been wrapping presents and drinking wine to all the glorious xmas music I've found via ilx.

awwww puppies

i am drinking wine and i dont' have any wrapping paper but i DID buy a few presents at the gift shop on my way out tonight (15% discount wooh) because i felt so bad about not having anything yet.

The reality of cooking dinner for 10 people next week has hit me. I spent $220 on groceries today. (granted there were a few bottles of wine in there, for the cook you know.)

Okay, puppies and wine drinking and music all sounds awesome. (I can't get behind the wrapping because I hate to do it, but maybe with enough wine it would be better.)

Susan - enjoy the wine; cooking for TEN sounds massively intimidating.

I'm in the middle of my usual Friday night weight-lifting boredom routine.

I would like some puppies.

Wait, you lift weights on Friday night?

Yep, I have free weights I lift at home (ranging from 8 to 12 pounds; I should buy some 15 pound ones, but I'm too cheap and lazy). It's sooooooooooooo dull. But it keeps the arm that I broke working pretty well, plus, you know, good for you and all that.

I'm not sure if I'd like a puppy or not. Maybe just to play with for a while and then give back.

Guys, I really hate cleaning but OMG YOU CAN SEE THE FLOOR OF OUR WALK-IN CLOSET FOR THE FIRST TIME IN YEARS

I'm inspired enough to try to clean up my office space tomorrow! (I may not survive te attempt; tell my parents I love them.)

Weds we also had 155 PHL, with over an hour of that on the runway.

technically it is not actually a delay if you have pushed back from the gate.

Technically after I am up for 24 straight hours, I don't give a shit other than GET ME HOME NOW.

Going to have to side with suzy on this one.

Dan, good for you. Is there anything else you'd like passed on to your parents? ;)

I'm going to MOA today with Mom and sister, though, so actually I may be destined for an early grave as well. Maybe we should appoint John and FB as executors of our estates?

OH HOORAY LOOK IT IS SNOWING AGANE

i blame people that have been dreaming of a white christmas just like the ones they used to know

fuckers

Irving Berlin never had to shovel snow, I'll bet.

Ned Raggett! May need assistance with some early C20 California history if you are around.

btw I looked at my office and said "fuck that noise"

now I am about to assemble shelves, at some point I should eat

god dan you are so bourgie what with your walk-in closets and home offices! sheesh!

i have both of those things now i will be excised from the proletariat ;_;

If we were in the South End instead of Somerville, my posts would all be like "we bought a chair, now we have to throw out the bed to make it fit" or "oh shit my money, why is it all in my rent/mortgage"

(also my "home office" is really "side-nook in the living room with a sheet hanging over it to close it off")

I just got out of the house, went to Jerry's and spent $40 on a food-shop that would cost $20 tops in London. Damn.

...but I have Ambassador wieners. And I had a corn dog, to go.

Do I have to ask why my dog is stalking me now?

we are truly in a bad economy when a librarian and a small business owner rise to the ranks of the economic elite. xposts

^^^I prefer these new overlords.

HELLO IT IS MY BIRTHDAY

i just got semi-wasted off two glasses of wine at a bar in alameda called 'the new zealander'

yay hb ruby!

omg i got TONS OF PRESENTS

wtf no one revived my b-day thread from last year, i am heartbroken

you will notice that i am still posting on the internets which means that i am not on an airplane? why you ask? because my flight was canceled again and there is nothing i can do to get home til tuesday, and even then, it would be flying through columbus and cincinnati to some out of the way place like charlotte where i'd still ahve to drive an hour and a half to get home. so. i am taking a bus to dc in the am and hitching a ride to richmond with my sister and her husband, who will continue to norfolk while my father drives up from sc to get me in richmond, turn around and take me back home.

fuck an air travel.

OMG I AM SO COLD ;_;

ugh i gotta go shovel

ugh me too, and I am so not used to this.

I hope neither of you froze to death. This weather is absurd.

No chance, got one of our snowblowing neighbours to give me a hand. 10 minutes later, job done.
