Surfacing

[intertext]

I'm beginning to feel a little more normal. At least, I can tell people about Cholmondeley without bursting into tears. There's still a bit gaping hole where he used to be, though.

His photo made Explore on Flickr. That's a nice thing.

This week, I managed to function in classes. Tuesday, I felt a bit of strain, but today things went well. I felt the group was on My Side, which is always nice. Online courses seem to be going gangbusters, so that's good as well.

I wish I didn't have to go to a dept meeting tomorrow. I think it might be not fun, but I will try very hard to float above it, and not get involved in the politics of it and escape unscathed. That would be the desirable outcome, anyway - to be unscathed.

Oh, and my Paris photo was chosen for the guidebook. I'd quite given up, then I got an email from them a day or two ago. So, yay.

And, lidocafe - you know I'm thinking about you and hoping that all will be well for you soon.

That would be fun! I'd like that.

:D what days are you & Kelly free?

[intertext.livejournal.com]

I can't speak for K, but I'm pretty much free any evening. K is more restricted, because it depends on S's dad to be free. And she's pretty wired these days. Wait and see how she responds (or you could just cheer us up one at a time *grin*)

Sure!! I'm free pretty much any evening, as well, so just pick a day. This Sunday we're having Josh's sister over for dinner, so that's out. I better check with Marri, too.

Weekend might be better for me. Would Friday or Saturday work? I'll ask S's dad when he's free.

I want to have a fuck-you-landlord film night in February too to say goodbye to what was once my much appreciated apartment. What do you think?

[superfoo.livejournal.com]

HELL YES. And we should be LOUD (if your landlord lives on-site). Maybe we can pee on the carpet or spill some wine or something. Someplace he won't notice it at first because then you won't get your damage deposit back. But YES, a fuckyoulandlord night is TOTALLY in order. I will be there.

I'd just like to mention, sort of hesitantly, that the 28th is my birthday... I'd love it if we could all get together for that. It doesn't have to be on Monday, but one day over the weekend would be nice, in lieu.

Is the Bob Dylan movie out yet? I think it's out this week. Dinner and a movie would be a lovely way to celebrate my great age...

Yes, let's do something! Sorry, I knew it was Januaryish, but wasn't sure of the actual date and forgot to ask.

The Dylan movie has been out for OVER A WEEK and I HAVEN'T SEEN IT YET (unbelievable!). There's still The Diving Bell and the Butterfly as well. Now that he won the best director golden globe, are you more interested?

But it's your party, you choose. I'm asking Paul ASAP if Sat. can be free. Do you prefer afternoon or evening? Should we have a meal out as well? (I can't stay out TOO late because it's my stepmother's bd party the next day.)

Saturday would be wonderful. And I'd really like the Dylan movie - dinner and a movie?? On Sat???? Would that work? I wouldn't mind Sat matinee movie, then dinner, if that works for you, K...
What fun :)

And I'd love it if the boys (Baz, Simon, Greg) could be included...
