"a subscription of half a crown entitles you to go without ninety-two luncheons per quarter"

I appear to be uncharitable and anti-social, or at any rate, I have failed to be talked into "reserving" any sort of copy of the Oberlin alumnae directory, let alone including any actual contact information in my entry. I did finally call them, after the second "urgent" post card (delivered at monthly intervals), but I have not yet been able to think of anyone I might wish to track down who couldn't be found through someone I already have contact info for.

Meanwhile, I am a slacker and not only didn't write all weekend, but only wrote about 1k yesterday, and another 1 so far today, so I'm still at 52.5k total. (What is it about reaching the Nano goal that sucks all the motivation out of one? Grr!) I am within about two chapters of the end of this document, more or less, although that's leaving both the beginning and several parts of the middle in a complete muddle (but I will not quote mud puddle poetry at you.) I think I need to go on and write the last part before I know what's important in this one, though. And I do want to find out what sort of god it is in the sealed jar, among other things...

But I have been fencing (as those of you who've listened to the new rapier podcast will have heard) and I took the aquarium volunteer test and while I probably ought to have done better on it, I don't believe I did too horribly, and I've been indulging in things like vacuuming, and trying to buy a real ironing board. (Unfortunately, Target let me down on that one; all they had in stock were $60 ones with glamorous iron rests, and I was really not that desperate.) Also, I've been suffering from irritating headaches, and thus ignoring all the people I'm supposed to e-mail and things.

So I present you with pictures, instead:

I don't know how the cat expects us to take him seriously when he goes and does things like this.

apparently your website is now blocked from work because it contains "Games". How utterly retarded.

um... I'm sure I told you about the early days of the "security" crack-down where I worked, in which one of the archaeologists was trying do perfectly legitimate research on "Falls Church" and anything with "church" on it was blocked. Yeah. Don't much care for censorship, personally...

On the other hand, lj appears to have drastically misplaced my log-in cookie, but only for commenting, not for reading locked entries. What?
