@m Aev's News of the Aetherverse is out! http://bit.ly/nI5Irg
Virtually Educated is out! http://bit.ly/oUKkaB

I'm glad I didn't try to rush these survey instruments--I keep thinking of more questions!

We did the "early bird" thing for dinner tonight, but I'm not complaining--that Pacific Veggie pizza was yummy!

I'm blaming being cold for my lack of focus--I think I've read this same page of this article four times now. :-/

It's bad when you plan to go by the coffee shop and order a huge coffee for the drive home, not just to drink, but as a hand warmer!

Internship w/ VWPBE has been approved--ready to rock and roll with designing some virtual world tours! :D

You'd think that meditation would be the "anti-hives" cure but it's hard to relax/concentrate when I'm so danged itchy!

Finally broke down and got more coffee--I keep reading the same page of this article over and over!

Happiness is a sun-bathing cat. (Djhali's splayed out on the kitchen floor, slowly following the sunbeam as it shifts across the room.)

My family does things a bit backwards--yesterday, we had family dinner @ a restaurant. Tonight, Mom decides to make turkey & dressing.

The matchmakers are circling...just spent the better part of an hour trying to explain how not interested I am. 'Tis the season?

I'll be spending some time w/ my journal today while everybody's napping, delving into what I have rather than what I can't/don't have.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Whether you'll be eating a bird or not, I hope today is full of awesome! :)

Dusting off the Dickens Village collectibles tonight--tomorrow's the official lighting day 'round here! :D

Nice surprise today--I had to drive to Ocean Springs to pick up Bubba food and discovered gas in Gautier at 2.87/gal.

Yay for Rockcliffe University--5 yrs in SL, going strong! http://tinyurl.com/844978o

Nice writeup about how educators are using SL for med students and outreach-- http://tinyurl.com/87mhw64

Bah--it's awfully hard to screw up potato salad, but I think I just did! O.O

Spent a bit more time in Inworldz, exploring Verona. Considering just how much cheaper it is than SL, I may consider residing there. :)

Guilty pleasure--watching old Bewitched episodes on Hulu in between reading research articles and reports. :)

Today's one of those muggy days that's unseasonably warm and you can just feel the storm brewing out there over the water.

It's been forever since I've caught Britcom night on MPB. I'd forgotten how much fun Hyacinth "Boo-kay" is! :D

Looking forward to putting together tours for VWBPE12 --can't wait to get the "good" machine back to really get rolling! :)

Yay! Mobile's Chef King got rid of the funny taste in their shrimp & broccoli! (I used to love the stuff but shied away for a while.)

My knee is really telling me of its discontent today but I was determined to go work out this morning! It'll be good for it, long-term.

My knee is hating this latest weather shift, or maybe its the fact that I'm working it out in the mornings. *snap crackle pop*

Stopped by Books-a-Million on the way home and snagged a nice guided journal for 3 bucks, plus a yummy mocha to chase the chill. :)

Sending out a Jaguarland welcome to the University of Alabama Birmingham students who are visiting the island this week! :)

So I started back at the gym on Mon. 3 days working out and 3 crying jags immediately after. What the heck gives?

Skype for professional development--Bama and I are critiquing each other's CVs, and we don't even have to be in the same state!

Was drenched enough times today, I'm thinking of investing in head to toe rain gear--wonder if there's anything with cat ears? ;D

Tonight may be an early one. My eyes have been stinging like mad. :-/

Rumor has it that Inworldz' Verona/Capulet sims have something cool coming up. Logged in to explore (and snoop) but the compie lag got me.

I'm craving a foot massage from Wrath right about now. (Funny how spoiled one can get in a week!)

I'm not happy w/ Office Depot. Had my compie home for less than a month after they installed a new motherboard, and it died last night.

Have been getting the "play by play" via text of the AECT conference--I'm so jealous!!!

I need to send a shout-out to Whitney and Golf--today's staff training was a really cool review of our Wordpress site. :D

Aether Ed took a wee hit by a wannabe griefer earlier but it's already been taken care of and the items replaced with more improved ones :)

Two spaces right on the Firth next to the Wicked Wench are ready now--if anyone wants a piratey secret hideout type of spot. :)

RL trumps out. I'll be giving up my plots in Caledon Wellsian soon. IM me inworld if interested.

Lesson here? I really shouldn't be eating pizza! ;D

Remembers 30min or its free for pizza--tonight, Pizza Hut was 30 mins *late* and only offered 3 bucks off.

Been fighting a lack of "get up n go" today--of course, it may stem from my sad lack of coffee. ;-P

Listening to Bill & Donna Bauman in the Art of Love series. I'm so in awe of these two, I'm without words (almost). ;)

I'm giving up 2 of my parcels in Wellsian on the Firth, next to the Wicked Wench--need a piratey spot to set up shop? IM me inworld :)

Spent a bit of time poking around the steampunk nations of Capulet and Verona over in Inworldz. Fun!

Bah! Managed to get a facefull of Tony Cachere's seasoning last night when the container fell out of the cabinet--been sniffly ever since.

Listening to the Art of Love seminar #2 w/ Arielle Ford and Pamela Haag--good info, but they could've done way better on audio quality.

I'm trying to improve my cooking skills--tonight, salmon filets and mushroom rice w/ green salad. Eventually, I'll get this combo right!

But I've been kinda zombiefied since getting on the plane to come back--I feel like I left a major part of me back there.

Had a great time with Wrath, meeting folks and poking around all the little historical towns in the CA mountain area around Placerville.
