Augh. My turn!

I slept til 11:30 this morning. I have had a bitca of a headache for, oh, about a week and a half now, so the extra sleeping time did me some good in that it was 5 extra pain-free hours, but now I have to rush around trying to accomplish things so Mr. Kitty doesn't find out I slept in so late.

I haven't been able to log on to the boards in **days**. I keep getting that "I can't let you do that, kitty" message. I can *read* the boards, if I log out beforehand, but I can't log on to post. I had LindyHopper send an email to Tuba, but I haven't heard back yet. I'm going nuts!

Lindy and the ever-lovely Serendipity are the only two people to have RSVPd for Friday night festivities at BamaDope. I know Noc isn't going to be there, but what the hell?? There were a ton of people in the other thread who were interested..

My Amazon.com order hasn't shipped yet. I NEED BOOKS, DAMMIT. And the new Anuna CD.

I am blown away by the fact that Sophie would actually recommend The Sound and The Fury to someone. I thought much more highly of her than that. Sheesh, girl, next you'll be telling people to read Flannery O'Connor. ::running screaming at the thought::

::grumble:: I think I'm going to go lay down for a bit.

Well, I know this isn't going to make your headache any better, but we're not going to be able to make it. The move just wrecked our finances for the time being, and we can't swing airfare plus rental car for the weekend. If it were a month or two later, we'd be in better shape. So, so, so sorry.

What, you couldn't drive that nice shiny truck of yours? Uh huh. I can see where we rate on *your* priority scale.

Ergh. Fine. But I'll expect both of you at the next BamaDope, which (if things continue on their current schedule) will be late December/early January. No finagling out of that, got it?

Pbt.

Well, a 9-10 hour drive is just a bit much for a weekend trip. :p I'll vote for January, since there's a chance we might be up in NoVa visiting my family and throwing a post-wedding reception bash around Xmas-New Year's.

A. TS&TF is one of the best books of all time.

B. Flannery O'Connor...you of all people should worship O'Connor. She's dark. Why don't you like her?

I have good taste, too! I think?

[identity profile] bobkitty.livejournal.com 2002-07-31 06:24 pm (UTC)(link)
A. No, it's not. It's really, really not.

B. What the hell is that supposed to mean? ::snicker:: You know, I wonder how much of my literary biases exist because of Horrendous High School Experiences. Flannery O'Connor, Steinbeck (don't even get me started on Steinbeck), Hemmingway.. all send me running screaming and gouging out my eyes (though I think the Hemmingway thing has more to do with the fact that the man is Incapable. Of. Writing. A. Compound. Sentence. AUGH.). We did a book of short stories by O'Connor in.. oh, must've been junior year English. Including the one with the preacher that wrapped himself in barbed wire. ::shudder::

C. You may, indeed. Just Not Right Now. ;)

When I talked to Stephen the other night, he mentioned that he was planning on staying in B'ham on Friday night... but I'd check in with him yourself to make sure. :)

And poop on Lise and Bill for not being multimillionaires who can jet off to Alabama at a moment's notice. :P I so looking forward to seeing you guys!

Believe me, we're plenty bummed about it.

[identity profile] bobkitty.livejournal.com 2002-07-31 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I figured I sent him directions for *some* reason. ;)

Oh, and don't believe a word Lise says. She just wants to stay home and have uninterrupted wild monkey sex.

bobkitty, if you want me to bump the Bamadope thread, I will. In fact, I'll do it anyway.

Also: Reinhold will be staying with me that weekend, and we'll do our damnedest to get into Birmingham on Saturday.

[identity profile] bobkitty.livejournal.com 2002-07-31 06:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I knew you two would only be there on Saturday.

Thanks for the offer.. I'm still awaiting Word From On High about my posting capabilities (though perhaps Tuba has much, much bigger things to worry about at the moment).

Wha' happen? Did you say something bad, or is it just a technical glitch?

[identity profile] bobkitty.livejournal.com 2002-08-01 10:04 am (UTC)(link)
It's a technical glitch. A very, very odd technical glitch. I was updating my email addy in my profile, and things went all wonky. Now whenever I try to log in, it gives me the "you aren't supposed to be doing what you're doing" error message.

Though I admit I was panicked for a bit, thinking I'd been banned. ;)
