gordonzolaBack from the Northwest. Tired. Got in at 4:45 AM and construction started on the burned out house next door at 8 AM. Ouch. Expect coherency another day.
About ten miles south of Grants Pass we hit a full-grown deer while doing 65 mph. Luckily for us, it was already dead and lying in the road. A big truck was in front of us so we didn’t see it until it was too late to swerve. I can’t believe the car didn’t get fucked up but the side is covered in spattered blood and the smell was BAD, I assume from where the blood got on the engine, by the time we go back to Frisco.
Stupidly, I scheduled myself to give a tour today for a UCB class on co-ops. I just realized there are 30 people in the class and it is going to be a bit of an ordeal space-wise. Oops. Hopefully most simply won’t show for the trip across the bay. If you see me in the store today trying to herd 30 disinterested college kids, don’t heckle. I’m already on edge.
I’ll talk about the conference in a future post but I need to thank a bunch of folks:![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
arispurr, thank you so much for the apartment to stay in. prof_southbay, thanks for everything. Come home now. goodbadgirl, you too.
dirtylibrarian, thisisnotanlj, ladycakes, somepoems, and sleepyhen, thank you for all the hospitality. chloesha, unbelievably the poster made it back intact. queen_beeanna, I loved seeing you but fuck you for making me explain the concept of "cuddle parties" to people at my conference because I was still chuckling over it days later. elementa thank you for showing me a part of Portland I never knew existed.
It was all too fast and I’m back full speed at work too soon.

... yeah. i'm not sure i buy that either, especially since the guy who invented the cuddle party also wrote a book called: Everything I Needed to Know about Life, I Learned from Eating Pie: A Sexual Manifesto for Malekind.

Date: 2005-10-14 01:55 am (UTC)Shh, don't tell anyone but G was getting his cuddle on with a rat terrier and a basset hound. I also hear that he's training to be a Watsu practitioner. There was also a rumor about an involvement with a little schoolboy - something to do with cookies and chocolate.
I'll never understand the life of a cheesemonger.
