I still know there was something I had to do...

[Liesje]

We adopted a new kitten today Her given name is Coondog. That's going to have to change....

Do not read the review of Casino Royale in the Washington Post if you want to be surprised by ANYTHING IN THE MOVIE.
Argh.

I never venture into this great beyond known as Plebans, but I wanted to tell you that I'm going to love this cat. I already know it.

ok, I'm off.

Later PLEBAN Stars!

 

[Kristie]

awwww hi kitty!

 

[Liesje]

I still don't know what to call Coondog. I was thinking a good Dutch name, like Maaike (feminine Micah) or Marijke (muh-RYE-kuh).

 

[hippy]

Kitty!

Coondog? Who came up with that name? Reminds me of "Where the Red Fern Grows"... lol


I think Marijke is a beautiful name, Lies

[Liesje]

Kristie, your package is sent! Though I didn't know how you spell your last name, so I made it up.

Coondog/Marijke:

 

[kellyahern]

^ I love the little stripe on her nose

 

[hippy]

Kitty! She is really adorable



On another note.... today marks my five year anniversary of joining interference... I feel old

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

Guys, I'm confused. It's 70 degrees outside. And it's December 1. And I don't think the DC/VA/MD area counts as the south.

 

[Kristie]

Okay... I've got some exciting news... for me at least

I was just offered a Teaching Fellowship for next year!!!!!!!!!!!
This is huge, guys... only like 1/2 of the people in my class got this... woo. I'm so hyper now!


How is everyone doing?

 

[Kristie]

oh hooray!
fellowship = $$, right?
does that mean you're fully funded now or just kind of funded?
either way that's awesome

 

[hippy]

thanks twin

fellowship = enough money to pay for classes lol


how is your job going? are you still working on your thesis?

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

Thanks for the birthday wishes, guys.

Congrats, Kim!

I finally saw Casino Royale! Mmmmm, Daniel Craig.

And somehow I made it through finals...now we just have to see if I passed...and I already have homework for next semester. Boo.

 

[Liesje]

Pass, schmass. Now you're home and we can sit around and drink. That's all that really matters, right? Call me, I have all next week off...

 

[kellyahern]

Congratulations Kim .

Lies, it was nice meeting you and Phil in Hawaii .

 

[Kristie]

thanks twin

fellowship = enough money to pay for classes lol


how is your job going? are you still working on your thesis?

hey, money for classes is nothing to sneeze at!

job's going ok
I kind of want to fire 3/4 of the kids that work for me. But that's not one of my powers. I have no powers.

thesis is going ok
I have to present it on the 12th of January in Virginia and I'm pretty much ready for that, so the basic idea there. It just needs about 3x worth expanding.

 

[Ultraviolet Light]

Happy Birthday Kim!!

 

[kellyahern]

Happy Birthday Kim

 

[Liesje]

ooo a Christmas baby Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!

How's everyone's holiday so far? Besides the fact that I've got a stiff neck full of lumps and a painful abscess on the back of my head, it's been great. Went to Phil's parents for Hannukah, the my dad's side yesterday, then my parents tonight, and my mom's side tomorrow. Then hopefully to the Dr. for some antibiotics before my neck literally explodes. Doesn't "cervical adenitis" sound like a nasty STD?

And Kelly, so glad we finally met! Your pics look like you had some good times! I knew we should have splurged for the sub dive.

 

[kellyahern]

Me too

Sorry about your neck .

I just got up, so a good holiday so far . Bad weather today, we're under a tornado watch until 1 p.m.

 

[Liesje]

Me too (just woke up). Tornado watch, huh? Hope that doesn't crimp your plans! We had a tornado on our wedding day

I think the infection is spreading. My tear duct is getting really sore

 

[hippy]

Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone

It was a great birthday and a great holiday... And of course, it just got "cold" in South FL, right as I'm leaving to go back where it really IS cold. Grrrr...

yay! sounds like a good time... except for the stupid kids that work under you... I've found myself becoming a miser when it comes to "young" kids too. And we're not that old! lmao Good luck too with the thesis

 

[hippy]

Happy New Year everyone!


I can't believe it's 2007
