Last grade was finally posted - I got a 3.8 in Comparative Family Structure!

That's a 3.83 for the quarter. Yay!!!

Am so relieved.

In other news, Interference is taking a teeny bit of a break while I try to figure out where the hell I'm moving in the next few chapters and do some revamping of the current chapter. I had Kari read it last night, and we decided that opening needed some more work, and I need to pare down some excess stuff that doesn't necessarily fit with where I am at the moment. With the exception of some initial brainstorming on theme, I've been writing each chapter as it comes, flying by the seat of my pants on where each one takes me. I've liked that, for the most part, since they've all continued in the right direction... but I want to work a little harder and try to make something cohesive in the end. So it's to the drawing board, with me, and working out the arc of where I've been, where I'm at, and where I'm going with this story, before I do anything else. Considering I feel like I'm about half-way through the narrative, it's probably more than time to do so. I know what I want, I just need to figure out how to get there. ;)

We watched some X-Files last night, which was really fun - "Quagmire," "How the Ghosts Stole Christmas," and the silly 6th season one that's based on COPS. I don't know the title of that one. Today, I'm going to wander around and pick up applications at a few places (ugh) and edit Interference.

Now here's an odd one.

From September, 2003: Common infection passed from cats to humans may alter personalities.

I do not even know how to begin to think about this.

And here. Have another one while I'm at it: Some PETA workers in NC seem to have gone round the bend and come out on the opposite side of what PETA usually works for?

quick appeal, because LJ is amazing sometimes...

I have a very beautiful turquoise ring that I love to pieces, but I'm afraid to wear it very often because the stone seems loose in the setting. It's never actually come out, but I'm always afraid it will.

Anybody know of a good (and cheap!) way to fix it or place that might be able to fix it?

Additionally, I'm pleased to say I've been actually been watching Stargate SG:1 and really enjoying it, as opposed to just catching tiny bits of it, like I used to, and being interested if slightly bemused. I watched it some way back when, but I think it was one of those things that Fox cancelled, and we didn't get the Sci-Fi channel when I was in highschool... and then I kind of gave up TV when I came to college, so I never got the chance to catch up.

Also watched an episode of Andromeda today, for mocking value. God was it unintentionally hilarious. Oh, and narsilion? Katie is still on the show. It's sad... I remembered her as so cute and amusing, but not so much anymore. :/

I really need to make some new icons.
