they call it stormy Monday

[aesc]

Eeeesh, we had 9 inches of rain this weekend--a drop in the bucket compared to Galveston and other places (is the entire midwest under water???), but it set a local record for most rainfall in 24 hours. Finally, finally it's cleared up and there had damn well better be some nice weather this week, that's all I'm sayin'.

Post of random:

MEME. Stolen from pretty much everyone: What, if you read my fic, is/are the characteristic(s) that stand(s) out the most? The convoluted sentences? How it vanishes from your memory even as you read it?

RL. OMFG way too busy. I had two conference abstracts due today and an appointment with the advisor to talk about my "dissertation." The good news is that the proposal is further along than I thought.

BOYS. OH MY GOD JOE. (Spoilery, probably, but STILL, OMG.)

Thus ends this post of random.

Oh my god those JEANS. *dribbles*

I had a conference abstract due yesterday (for the zoo) and totally failed to do it. Still, I plan to go, although probably not in a student-driven van this time.

I KNOW.

Yes, the zoo was one of the abstracts I got done at the 11th hour. The greater triumph, though, was beating the odds and actually getting the thing faxed in, with 1,000 other people fighting for space on the line. \o/

(And srsly, I had better see you there!!!)

A heroic achievement indeed! \o/

I'd say 'I'll be there if it kills me', but the way my luck's been running, that might be tempting fate...

Yes, while you may wish you were dead should you have to be awake for an 8am Sunday session after spending entirely too much time at the dance, the goal of the zoo is not, in fact, to kill you.

I'll bear that in mind...
