Is Dianna in such a good mood because it's her 25th birthday, it's a beautiful sunny day, her semester is over except for two finals which should be quite manageable and a third which is a full week away, she appears to have come out victorious against the labyrinthine beauracracy of the financial aid office for the second semester in a row, and her plans for summer are looking very good indeed?
Or is it because she bought a tiny coffee maker yesterday and had a nice cup of delicious coffee with her pancakes this morning, after about five years of severely reduced caffeine consumption?
Or does it even really matter, since, one way or another, she's in higher spirits than a hilltop distillery?
Posted by dianna at May 7, 2006 12:49 PMHappy birthday! Many happy returns! Any non-caffeine-related plans for the day?
Posted by: Zach S. at May 7, 2006 01:09 PMWell, yes. Grocery shopping and assembling materials for Tuesday's open-book final. There may be some watching of Battlestar Galactica later on, though. We gave up on our Netflix queue this week, returned everything unwatched, and went and rented season one from Reel Video.
Posted by: Dianna at May 7, 2006 01:42 PMhappy birthday!
seriously, netflix is starting to make me angry too. mostly because i've run out of things i care about getting. enjoy battlestar galactica.
Posted by: michele at May 7, 2006 05:53 PMHappy birthday, dude!
Mwahaha, you're starting your 2nd quarter-century by getting back on the caffeine wagon. But is it... boiling hot?
(Netflix also vexes me, but it's my own fault for refusing to either watch or surrender the stupid movies I've got, and refusing to bump all the trash I really want to watch up to the top of my queue.)
Posted by: katie at May 7, 2006 08:09 PMMuahahaha! They always come back!
Oh, and happy birthday.
Posted by: Caffeine at May 8, 2006 07:01 AMYes, yes, cackle away. Clearly my 4-ounce half-mug of coffee in the morning will destroy me through spiralling addiction. It's just like when I started drinking again, and you all know how bad that's gotten. Sometimes I drink a whole beer, if I've got three hours in which to do it.
Posted by: Dianna at May 9, 2006 08:32 AMhello, couple of days late but i wanted to say happy birthday. ive been researching for a project on transfolk and stumbled across an old blog entry with a LOT of comments attached which were incredibly helpful and entertaining :)
