I'll be locking down Jaguarland to group only rezzing tonight--it'll be like that until I get back on Nov. 1st.

Bubba is such a heater hog--as I'm working at the compie, I'm being leaned on by a snoozing, very happily warm B/W kitteh.

I've put my Paper.li papers on hold for a week--while I'm out of town, I doubt I'll be finding much time for editing their content. :)

Aev's News of the Aetherverse is out! http://bit.ly/nI5Irg

We're at three days and counting 'til trip time. :) (And yes, the closer it gets, the more people have to listen to me squee!)

I've spent the majority of the morning reading up to get ready for Friday's workshop--still need to run through this a few times though!

Wow--just spent the better part of the day, staring at a screen, trying to find broken links and inaccurate content in a uni website.

Did captioning training w/ the ILC staff today--they now have a better appreciation of slower speaking narrators for our tutorials! :D

Is it wine time yet?

Wow--busy day today! Designed tomorrow's staff training, started on the latest COE website project, and met with my dissertation chair!

Yet another vet visit today--this time with Merlyn and Doc. Both will be fine (I hope) but they're not happy with me right now.

Wow--that hasn't happened in a while. Had to end a guided meditation session early because I was just tensing up something fierce.

I didn't get nearly enough done today--so why am I so sleepy?

How can fur babies be so destructive? I spent the better part of the afternoon, rebuilding part of the outdoor kitty hangout. Splinters anyone?

I know all the buildup seems silly to most people but I'm really a road trip kinda girl--all this flight stuff is foreign to me.

The date is finally set in stone for the CA trip--ordered the tickets today! Everyone say a little prayer for Wrath--he's going to need it!

Wow. The message cap in SL gets on my nerves but I just spent waaaay too long going through old notices in Inworldz!

Another lazy day. Saw a bunch of vintage cars from Cruisin' the Coast today--so awesome!

Drat! My Sakai Ecesis Daily at Paper.li is showing no content--methinks their system is buggy at the mo.

Bruiser's spending the night at the vet. Somehow the munchkin got himself out of his cast, so tomorrow he gets a new one.

I've been rained on WAY too many times today! Time to curl up in a dry cushy robe with a cup of German Chocolate Cake flavored coffee. :)

Sounds positively yummy! RT @Southern_Living Today’s QuickFixSupper : Southwest Shrimp Tacos-hot sauce adds a kick http://ow.ly/6hBZX

RT @chronicle Buzzwords that make me crazy: http://chroni.cl/pDy3F4 New grads need to read this B4 interviewing & trying to "speak buzz"

I wish I remembered the name of the town I dreamt about last night, just to know if such a place existed--it was such a cool locale!

Goofy plans, considering all that there is to see out in CA, but I'm looking forward to watching Harvey with my own 6 ft. bunnehguy :)

Don't know why, but I feel awfully empowered today--off to battle the evil to-do list! ;)

This made me smile this morning-- http://tinyurl.com/3hlt7yp

Just had to go "rescue" my dad's cat from the drive--he would NOT move while dad was trying to pull in! Talk about stubborn!

Took a route home that I haven't taken in about a year. It was fun! Felt like exploring while, at the same time, seeing an old friend.

Hungry Howie's cheesy bread to the rescue today--I've got to stop running off and leaving the lunch I've prepared!

Bruiser's sporting a new teal covered cast, but the vet says he's coming along just fine!

Got up way too early to have Bruiser at the vet first thing this morning. Not even 10am and I'm wanting a nap!

I do hope everyone will "show Garth some love" as Burroughs reaches it's final days--his absence from the Firth is going to leave quite the gap.

Something tells me I'm going to go against my night owl side and go to bed early tonight--ate dinner and now I'm sleepy!

Looks like I have a full house signed up for this afternoon's Sakai workshop--I hope I made enough handouts!

I'll just miss being at Berkeley for the Chopra/Mlodinow debate Oct 12, but it looks like it's going to be excellent! http://tinyurl.com/3pt6oaq

Haven't been in the mood to do much today other than nap. Everyone else in the fam has a cold, so I'm takin' it easy, trying to avoid the sickies.

Just spent an hour working on the "kitty-airy"--gotta bunch of 'skito welps, but the furbabies can now play in the fresh air, so it was worth it. :)

I'm wondering why the "PTB" seem bent on making me have icicles as accessories--the A/C in here is waaaay too low! brrr Where's my coffee?

I'm very happy to report that the account in IMVU pretending to be me has been disabled by the staff there. Phew!

Just discovered the online collaboration tool Trello and I've got to say, I like it already--it's teal!

Something's missing from my late lunch of cajun crab and crackers--a glass of merlot!

I hope I didn't scare off our ILC newbies with today's venture into SL. Of course, they left off playing with their hair. ;)

I wonder if anyone has done a sociological study on how rumors start and are spread within a virtual environment? I'm watching one get started now.

I can stop worrying so much about Dad's recovery--today he drove himself to and from his meeting to prove he's fine. :)

Fair winds to Charles Hickson, who put Pascagoula on the map for a while as a UFO hotspot http://tinyurl.com/6j9h8qm

Bruiser's continuing to show progress--now that he's totally off the pain meds, he's really wanting to play.

Just discovered somebody's taken my SL av name in IMVU--that's a wee bit disturbing.

Prepping this week's SL training for the new staffers--I'm hoping to help them see the connections between the viewers rather than overwhelming them.

This week's Jagland SLed tour takes us to Delphi Self Assessment & LMU's Dream World Museum. Th,6pm cen/4 pm slt, http://tinyurl.com/45xkorj

Okay, so making the bed with the fresh linens has been put on hold--at least until the cats give up the laundry basket.

I've spent the majority of the day avoiding news broadcasts--I don't need to relive the day I thought I'd lost part of my family.

Bah, that last link was for a 9/11 meditation sponsored by the Chopra Center but the text didn't go through!

Made tuna steaks tonight--only used a bit of salt-free Tony Cachere's, but they were yummy! (Maybe I really am turning into a cat!)

I'm going to have to remind myself to throttle a certain "bewm bunneh" for introducing me to Dominic Deegan--like I need another webcomic addiction!

Could not resist the call of Chef King's shrimp and broccoli today!

Bruiser came home late yesterday afternoon. Kudos to the folks at the Cat Care Clinic for going above & beyond to save the little guy!

Looks like I'll be heading back over tomorrow before work--Bruiser's earned himself an abscess so I'll be hauling him to the kitty vet.

Today was a gorgeous day for a short jaunt over through Ocean Springs. I really miss living there!

The cats are loving the windows being open--they're just not so good at taking turns.

It's feeling really nice outside right now--cool and breezy. Dare I hope that autumn weather has begun? *crosses fingers*

Happiness is a freshly laundered, freshly made bed. Of course, the scent of vanilla lavender is so yummy, now I want to get back in it!

Just cruising my old web haunt, AncientSites. In the era of soc med, placing low com limits on all but $$$ members is a good way to kill a community.

Attempting to walk the dog in between downpours didn't exactly work out as planned. I look like a drowned gerbil...with curly hair.

Our oak trees are amazing. The yard was swamped about an hr ago &, w/ a break in the rains, the trees have already "drank" the standing water.

Other ppl go out on Fri pm--I came home, nap'd & am now reading articles. Gee, you'd think I was working on a dissertation or somethin'.

Thanks TS Lee for the much needed rain, but hold off on the torrential downpours, will ya? New perm here!

CFP Virtual Worlds Graduate Unsymposium--Games, Play, and Community--nhttp://ping.fm/qsT0T

Woke up a bit under the weather this morning--I'm hoping it's allergies rather than anything "catchy."

Sending prayers to all those involved in the tragic pileup on I-10 this afternoon.

I think mom is trying to "de-veggie" me. 2nd time today she's offered me something claiming it's veg but it actually had bacon in it.

Just saw Gov. Barbour's release about the potential jobs package w/ Calisolar and HCL CleanTech. Yay for new cool jobs coming to the state!

Finished the Peasters Castle Hunt, even with the bum computer. I really liked how they worked in the narrative (plus the goodies!)

Really don't like the look of Katia spinning out there in the Atlantic--her name sounds a bit too similar to Katrina--bn thr, dn tht, k tnxbuhbye.

Just tried SL's V3 to get ready to train the new ILC staff--total no-go. It's a gray, non-rezzed SL. Bah! Back to Firestorm.

On this Thursday's SL Edutour, we'll be visiting AECT, ISTE, and EdTech Island! We'll head out at 6pm central-- http://tinyurl.com/45xkorj

Four stoned kitties, all laying on their backs lookin' at me like "You got a problem with this?"

So I come in from walking the dog and one of the cats had shredded the catnip packet, spreading catnip all over the floor.

I'm dying from the cuteness! http://ping.fm/A1kp5

I haven't gotten nearly enough done today. The to-do list for tomorrow is astounding!

bah. Scooter got to the basket full of clean clothes and scattered them all over the laundry room--guess I know what I'll be doing this afternoon!

Just got back from the Sakai 101 Part 1 workshop over in the Sociology Dept. Really good group today--you guys rock!

Rewatching Peggy Sheehy's presentation from last year's SLCC--lots of ideas and motivation for educators in there! http://tinyurl.com/3hnoz86

May have to go buy more cherries from Fresh Market tonight. They're on sale this week and they're huge! (and addictive!)

Sipping on Gevalia Cafe Sperl while catching up on email/social media and planning for tomorrow--coffee makes everything better. ;D

Sometimes it doesn't take much to make me giggle, but I adore the fact that so many shops are getting teal stuff in for fall--and purple too--yay!
