I decided to browse Craigslist for possible jobs. Wow, scary.
Apparently there are some locally made "adult" films.
And there was one job posting that just said "Pregnant Lady."
Someone said something about "penny wise" and I made a crack about Pennywise from It. Then a few minutes later, the Bad Astronomer tweeted this scary ass t-shirt. Serendipity is disturbing. I'm avoiding drains for the rest of the day.
Fast forward a bit and Oreo and Brownie were sharing the couch peacefully.
Then I decided I needed a nap.
My phone rang and it was someone who had heard we moved down here wanting to know if I'd be interested in teaching in the spring.
o.O
I managed to babble something comprehensible that was not "Hells yes, woman!" but conveyed that general sentiment. After we move into the apartment I'll go actually chat about it.
Then I got up to see Tom had tweeted about D'Iberville telling the early French colonists to breed buffalo, only I thought it said "breed with the buffalo" and I was truly impressed by the ignorance of basic biology back then.
So, now I have things to figure out:
- How do I teach sitting down (this will be weird for me)?
- Better management of dry mouth while lecturing because, seriously, the croaking is not cool
- Can I wear my Vibram Five-Fingers with business casual clothing because I really, really love them.
- Which eccentric professor do I emulate?
I imagine that at some point I should figure out what I'm teaching...
This also nixes the idea I had floating in my head of dyeing the white parts of my hair purple...
And as I get ready to post this, Oreo and Brownie are sharing the couch again and sound asleep.

That's great news :)
Purple hair sounds awesome! You could always overdye it before starting the job, once you finish interviewing and all...or just go for "mad professor" ;)
I was contemplating telling my students that I'll go purple if they all pass...
