OK! Trying to get in bed before midnight, have to be up and outta here early tomorrow for hubby's DBS programming. Dreading the drive, looking forward to finally seeing some payoffs!
1:12 am
TraderKate
Isn't the programming on Friday?
1:12 am
Kamanjah
yeah, tomorrow is Friday
1:13 am

Well, look at that... I lost an entire day :(
Good luck for tomorrow!!!
1:14 am

Kamanjah
I'm trying to chill..haha. My hair is wet and trying to frizz up, but I'll contain it in the morning. I'm so nervous about this, but there is absolutely no reason it shouldn't work out great. He IS excited, overly so I believe. He was tired all day just thinking about it.
1:19 am
TraderKate
we will all be awaiting your report tomorow Kam! You must promise to check in
1:19 am
Lizlin
Hi all - Kam really hope it all goes brilliantly well with your hubby today.
1:21 am
Kamanjah
I should be able to be here at the flip tomorrow. I hope to have absolutely great news to share! You'll see it on FB if it's good. Changes to a person's brain via electrodes make me a bit jittery when it's my hubs!
1:21 am
Kamanjah
Thank you so much, Liz!
1:21 am
Lizlin
I can understand why you'd feel jittery.
1:24 am
TraderKate
anticipatory jitters aren't all bad. I just hope you can sleep toonight!
1:24 am
Kamanjah
Yeah. But the team is full of talented people, so I'm feeling about 98% confident. There's always that little "what if" in the back of my mind that jitters my nerves.
1:24 am
Christine
Kamanjah ... good thoughts, for Friday
1:25 am
Kamanjah
Me too, Kate! I'm getting more wired when I should be passing out.
Thanks, Christine, much appreciated.
1:27 am
Kamanjah
OK, gotta quit talking about it. My scalp is tightening up, I have to get relaxed and asleep. I am NOT a morning person, and have to be driving out of here by 9:30. Thanks for all of the support!
*Hugs*
1:30 am
TraderKate
I ma sure that we are all pulling for you Kam..and don't what ig yourself... the docs have this one - it's what they do. Having thingsn out of your own control can be hard - especially for big things...but it will be so mch better after
1:31 am
TraderKate
go read... that should focus your brain Kam.
1:32 am
Lizlin
I've also got to go. Have a good night Kate.
1:32 am
Kamanjah
I wish I was in the middle of a great novel - I've been reading textbooks lately. Not tonight. Guess I should hit Amazon and buy the next James Rollins I want to read
1:33 am
Christine
Listen to Pachebel ... that'll calm you, ready for sleep. Or Satie's Gymnopides (sp?). God bless
1:34 am
TraderKate
niters Liz <3
1:35 am
TraderKate
actually, a textbook might be just the thing... you have to think about what you're reading... and hopefully just "dry" enough to settle you for sleep.
1:36 am

O sippose I should go see what the grid looks like in Sudoku...

9:12 am
TheSquid

9:12 am
moolingwa
question is, are you a giant squid, or a regular one
9:13 am
TheSquid
I am actually a microscopic squid
9:13 am
moolingwa
well there you go
9:13 am
TheSquid
millions of microscopic squids come together to form a vaguely humanoid shape
9:16 am
moolingwa

9:17 am
TheSquid
squidformer. cephalopods in disguise
9:17 am
moolingwa

9:18 am
TheSquid
that's it those are the only parts of the lyrics I still remember
9:18 am
moolingwa
yeah, me too
9:18 am
TheSquid
recreating the whole song will be a great way to procrastinate studying for my dysphagia midterm though so thank you
9:20 am
moolingwa
sounds like a good use of your time in light of the pending dysphagic alternative
9:20 am
TheSquid
I think it'll be more important in the long term. Who needs education right?
9:21 am
moolingwa
we don't need no education
9:21 am
TheSquid
we don't need no thought control
9:21 am
moolingwa
lots of hazards in the classroom
9:22 am
TheSquid
teacher leave those kids alone (also is that really the lyric I have been mishearing that MY WHOLE LIFE)
9:22 am
moolingwa
or somesuch
9:22 am
moolingwa
no, just making it up...will need to research
9:23 am
TheSquid
when I was a kid I thought it said "dogs or cats in the classroom" and now I always thought it was "dark sarcasm in the classroom" but I feel like lots of hazards makes sense???
9:23 am
moolingwa
yes, no dark sarcasm
9:23 am
moolingwa
just confirmed it
9:23 am
TheSquid
AW YEAH I think that's the first time in my life that I've been right
9:23 am
moolingwa
they really need to childproof classrooms
9:23 am
moolingwa
I've never been right, ever
9:24 am
moolingwa
but that's okay
9:24 am
TheSquid
there's that one adele song where she like. Sings something about rain. And touching someone's face. I still hear "as I punch your face"
9:24 am
TheSquid
I refuse to believe it's anything else
9:25 am
moolingwa
I kinda like that
9:25 am
TheSquid
in more babble-related news I'm never gonna get this stupid a word can someone give me a hint?
9:25 am
moolingwa
not that I'm a violent person, but the juxtaposition is intriguing
9:26 am
moolingwa
might be something you give your teacher
9:26 am
TheSquid
right and I mean it's much more satisfying to sing loudly
9:26 am
TheSquid
and off-key
9:26 am
moolingwa
the a word that is
9:26 am
TheSquid
WOW OK let me just slink into my sad corner of shame
9:26 am
moolingwa
I don't use keys when I sing, so unnecessary
9:26 am
moolingwa
it's okay, we all miss them
9:29 am
TheSquid
anywho now that I'm at nbt I need to take a break and actually do something semi-productive so I'll talk to y'all later

HarryHood
we have _some_ standards :)
10:50 am
moolingwa
that's the core of the challenge isn't it shirl
10:51 am
Shirlockc
it all stems from our insecurities in the end
10:51 am
Shirlockc
leaves us with no r4 to grow
10:52 am
Shirlockc
we can be so r4less
10:52 am
HarryHood
