Goods and Bads

Bads:

The annnoying Touchy-Feely Student from my Roman History section decided to take my summer class because he thought I was such a great teacher.

I'm feeling tired and unmotivated dissertation-wise.

I hate dealing with library reserves.

I still have vertigo. Our GM over the weekend arranged all these shiny glass gems in a circle to represent the crunchies attacking us, and after a few hours, they were spinning whenever I looked at them.

Goods:
I have 8 interesting and cool students in my summer course, ranging from a biomedical post-doc wanting something different to a Latinophile high school senior to a South Asian studies grad student. This should be fun. I think the opening lecture went well, too.
In the end of a 10.5 year D&D campaign, we changed the world into a hopefully better world, and my character survived without permanent brain damage! Maybe I can finally erase my brain damage curse!

I got to spend two weekends hanging out with fajitas, who I don't get to see nearly often enough. Last night on DS9, we figured out why he likes that show so much - both Jake and Nog share fajitas' sense of fashion and color.

We have a vice-presidential candidate who I can actually cheer for! His little kids are cute too. Democrats - the Good Hair party...

Maybe I can finally erase my brain damage curse!

Oo, and I managed to survive with my right hand intact, too! Although I suppose the question of whether I had a father-figure in peril is sort of ambiguous, considering all the confusion with my ancestors that was created by the multiple timelines...

Hang on, now. What season of DS9 are we talking about? Are you still in the first, with Jake's weird jumpsuits? 'Cause then I take umbrage.

If we're in the later seasons, I don't object so much.

Are any of them fluorescent green? ;)

Season 2

And it is, in fact, a flourescent yellow and green jumpsuit. Not that you'd actually wear a jumpsuit, fajitas. But the coloring was very familiar. What happens when you take umbrage, anyhow? I don't think I have any umbrage to give you at the moment. Can you take an IOU?

Oh, thank you for explaining that. It saves me sitting here trying to remember when Nog and Jake ever wore fanny-packs.

*snicker* That must be where he keeps the umbrage.

(And hi, Spyscribe! I didn't know you were reading LJ. It's cool to see you around - I'm looking forward to meeting you in person!)

Yep, I'm usually lurking around. :) Looking forward to meeting you too!

Erase the curse?

Not if I have anything to say about it.

Bloodcore memorizations all round, next game!
