Except

[quislibet]

... the exception to my last post being when I am at work and am facing a tedious pile of filing.

Except that I have nothing to say, really. This weekend I shoveled snow, wrote about 200 words of my dissertation (half of that a pasted-in quotation), failed to be social even with friends in walking distance because of blinding ice-bearing winds, worked on making a leopard puppet, agreed that Kamora just isn't Kahlua, marveled first with my sister via telephone and then in person with J. at how many people we know who have at one point or other become the archetypal "insane homeless stripper" (this is meant as a purely descriptive, non-judgmental phrase) and, in general, had bad days with good moments.

Salve. I came via burkean and I thought I would say hello. I have nothing more substantial to say than that at the moment--you used the word "apostate" in your profile, which, along with "slattern" and "cartography" is one of my all time favorite English words.

At any rate, solidarity with the classicist proletariat.

Those are, indeed, all good words. I'm proud to be able to associate at least one of them with a member of my family, but it's probably just as well that I can't do all three.

Sorry to hear about your wand.

The dog eats paper, plastic and metal as well. She is a mini recycling plant.

Um...I think I can do all three. Yes, yes I can. Mom=slattern, Dad=cartographer, Stepmother=apostate.
