First I was talking to Masq about it being a full decade since Buffy the Vampire Slayer went off the air. (how is that possible?!?). Then I realized that 90% of my students this semester weren't even BORN when The X-Files premiered. And the icing on the cake was the classic car show in Jackson today when I got behind a Chevy truck with historic plates. It was an 1980's teal truck. the 80's historic (Gah!!!!)

And the real reason for this post is for those who look for me regularly online. Once again the new internet is out. I called and whined to a voice mail but being a weekend who knows when it'll be restored.

And May the Fourth Be with You... (don't hit me)

Lastly I bizarre dream. evil_little_dog and I were staying at a B&B that catered to dog owners in yet another monsterous convoluted house. Frankly I wasn't sure why I was there because it had to be small dogs and yeah, not my thing. Maybe I had corgies or something. Anyhow, I don't even remember either of us actually having dogs but the dream opened with ELD screaming. I jumped up and ran my task chair over the tail or the owner's fluffy white fru-fru crap dog and it howled.

ELD held out her hand and was crying one of the owner's dog had just mauled her hand and did I think the wrist was broken. While the bite mark was small, almost snake like punctures, her whole wrist was swelling. I said yes let's go to the ER. she didn't want to until she got ready first and disappered into her bedroom.

In the meantime, the anorexic looking owner started in on me for 'killing her dog' (I'm like what? the one I hit with a chair by accident?) she was screaming she was going to sue us and insisted i fill out paperwork about the incident. I started it but realized it allowed for no defense and I said I wanted to copy it and take it to my lawyer. She went into hysterics screaming that we made her sick and literally started trying to make herself vomit.

Her husband came up to apologize for her but neither of them asked about ELD's injury. For some reason I saw a pamphlet with his bio on the desk. He was from Inverness Scotland (not sure why that was important). Finally ELD comes back, her hair is a frizzy mess and she has on 80's whore make up and I'm like WTF? She tells me she needs to take a shower but in the meantime her whole arm is now black and swollen as if she really had been hit by a rattler and not a dog. I tell her no she doesn't and we're going to the ER now and then I woke up.


ETA - the last Izumi icon is for finals week, NOT that I think any of you are acting stupid. this is out there in the ether as a general warning
