Totally made Vagina cookies last night with athenabrowneyed .  We rock.

Opening night tonight.  First real cases of stage fright I've ever had.  I think I'm going to be sick...

Why is it that when I think about teaching English to my Thai students, I find myself thinking in German ( Read more... )

We left the house at 10:45.  It takes just over two minutes to get from the house to the animal hospital.  I had made Šiška a catnip pillow and had given her a can of food for breakfast.  They gave her gas to relax her so that shaving her leg and injecting her wouldn't stress her out even more.  I continued to scratch behind her right ear as they  ( Read more... )
