My partner's done with her interviews in Manila, and she passed three of her four interviews.  So I guess we are pushing through with it.  She visited her family, and is having a wonderful time.  Turns put that she didn't need to check in at the hotel she had reserved a room in.  But the biggest, most important thing, is that she's coming home tomorrow.  Yayyyy!  I'm excited!

My housemate is abroad for a couple of weeks.  She left early Wednesday morning for some interviews.  From our last Skype conversation, she said she finished two of them, and she has one more on Monday, and another Tuesday.  Tuesday afternoon, she's flying to her little hometown in Kyoto Japan for a long-scheduled visit. And she'll be back Saturday evening. Which is the problem.

    Hi.  Moe n I decided on going on a spur-of-the-moment road trip.  She had just resigned from her job and yesterday was her last day, whereas I am having a mild case of cabin fever.  So, crazy or not, we're going on a road trip to cheer ourselves up.  So we're getting an early start on the day, and just drive around, just be a couple of tourists, check in at a hotel, and be back tomorrow.  Or maybe Friday (wink wink).  Weather seems good, save for the 40-degree temp.  But we'll be okay.

    So seeya in a day or two!

    Those that chat with me regularly online know some stuff about me.  Among them is that I ain't too tall, I have chronic insomnia and, aside from chocolate, I don't eat all that much.  It's not anorexia or anything like that, or any other kind of medical condition.  I guess I just don't eat much.  But yesterday was different.

And one Shetland Sheepdog.  And Ma's invited herself to stay at the house tonight to help us prepare for the family Christmas lunch tomorrow.

    I am leaving for Manila at 8:30 this morning.  It's for work, not fun.  I'm arriving in Manila thirty-eight hours later, or Monday 10:30AM Manila time.  And I'm flying back Tuesday 8AM Manila time, and arriving in Reagan twenty-five or so hours later, or Tuesday, 8PM Eastern Standard.  Sixty-three hours, or more than two-and-a-half days of flying time, for all of twenty-one hours in Manila.  and much of that would be time on the road, getting ready, or whatever.  I'd probably just have eight hours with the office guys... yeesh...

    this was supposed to be a comment, a piece of unsolicited advice, actually, for dorothycolleen, in her blogpost, "Disassociation" -

    http://bigclosetr.us/topshelf/blog/32731/disassociation

    i originally wanted to post it as a comment, but looking at how involved i got in writing it, i thought i'd make it a blog instead. so, i think you'd best read her blog first, so this one will make some sense.

    I just had a long discussion about story universes with someone here in BCTS, via Private Message, and it was a long discussion.   Pretty long discussion, though it had the feel of a slow motion kind of discussion since we did it by taking turns and responding to each other's PMs.  

    Being Normal - an essay.

    Being Normal?

    An Essay by Angharad.

    I’m sitting here in my dining room, which serves as a study cum computer room and library—I use the latter term loosely, I have books all over my house, but the dining room has a few more than the others, about a thousand more but that’s not the subject of this piece.

    The idea for this arose as I was dressing this morning and is one that has occurred to me many times. It’s simply this, that much of the time the sort of things I wear are not that dissimilar to the things I wore many years ago, ie before transitioning.

    Does anyone know where the word/prefix "retro" comes from?  I'm sure many do, but I didn't so I had to google it.  Anyway, it's a Latin prefix that means "backwards" or "in the past."  Hence you now get words like "retrospective" or "retroactive" et cetera.  Last Monday, I indulged in a little bit of retro-ing.

    I'm sure you've had one of those. You know - one of those songs that refuse to go away, that keeps on rolling around in your head and you keep on humming or singing it for days on end. And, sometimes, you even end up "infecting" those around you, and they end up with the same song in their heads, too? I've had my share of those kinds of songs. And I have a new song to add to this list.

    The School Play

    The Play

    It's amazing how over life's courses that you forget many an occurrence that at the time were important to you. This is just such a story and memory, one from a long since forgotten time (but thats what diaries are for right?).

    Memories in Bits and Pieces

    Memories in Bits and Pieces,
    little snippets of my life that I gather back together here,
    for what reason who knows.

    --SEPARATOR--

    There is a WHAT up there?

    This is a true halloween story that happened to me and my family the first halloween after we arrived in England in 1953.
    We were living in Cambridge, in a house that had been built in 1863, per the date etched into a stone, above the front door on the second floor. The house was a three story house, and did indeed look old.
