Sinterklaas Countdown: 8 days
The Two Towers Countdown: 20 days
Birthday Countdown: 22 days
Christmas Countdown: 27 days

Am surprisingly perky, all things considering. My knee hurts, people have been annoying me since the second I set foot outside today, I was locked out of my Outlook account, and I've not even had coffee yet, and yet somehow I feel fine. Hm.

Assignments for Mistletoe Magic will be sent out later today, probably in an hour or two. Wheee!

Ilyssa is trying to convince me that I need to make her a sofrt of syllabus for each year, and a list of all her students, and figure out when Arithmancy classes are, and hey, while I'm at it, why don't I draw up a roster for all classes and years, and a list of all students sorted by year and House? Arrrrgh!

Dear self: No. You have enough on your plate already, and I don't care how anal-retentive you are, or how much you like archiving. You will not make a Lumos Nox Info Page, nor offer to take over the log archive. Are you listening? Hey! Get back here!

What's the sudden flood of Russian spam?

I thought about doing the Thanksgiving Meme, but then realised that a) we don't celebrate Thanksgiving, and b) I do this "thanks for ..." thing on my Christmas cards. So. Yeah.

Where do all my pens keep disappearing off to?

And will someone please get pirate!Marcus out of my head before I throw myself out the window?

We clocked in at 30 participants, and you can find a list on the page. Now get writing, you lot!

*kicks brain* Hi? You know what you want to say in this drabble, so how about actually giving me the words? Grrrr.

In other news, what is it with people RSVPing to an email invitation by phone? This isn't very handy for me, people!

Dear meeting room people ,

I hate you.

Stop making lengthy calls on your "I'm so fancy, I'm so high-tech" cell phones in the reception area. You're shattering my concentration.

Do not under any circumstances wander around the office, especially not while I'm on the phone and therefore cannot yell "MAY I HELP YOU?" at you. Yeah, fucko, I actually did see you hover around my desk earlier. I was on the phone. Be a good boy and wait till I'm done, and I'll help you find what you need. Do not go looking for it yourself.

And SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP, you loud, annoying, disturbing GITS!

Enragedly yours,
The poor harrangued "receptionist".

P.S.: If I find out that either of the two cabs I just called came for nothing because you just hailed a cab ionstead of waiting for your own, I shall be pissed off, and I shall smite you all mightily. Do not mess with a Dark Lord!

Meme?

So Silvia listed all the fandoms she's ever read in for a semi-significant amount of time, and of course I went "Pfshaw! You think that's bad?" and so, yeah.

[Discussing the mental image of the HP people based on the books, not the movies. Also, my denial of the Teeth.]
Melle: And Flint was tall and square, and ugly, yes. possibly a little greenish.
Melle: (Um, brain? How is this better than the teeth?)
Fleur: *cracks up laughing*
Fleur: EAT YOUR GREENS!
Melle: *chokes on smoke*
Melle: Danm you.
Melle: "Draco, eat your greens!"
Fleur: *dies laughing* "Oliver never enjoyed eating greens, and now was no exception."
Melle: I bet Percy always eats his greens.
Melle: Molly raised him right, yo.
Fleur: She sends him off to school patting his back and saying "eat your greens, dear!"
Melle: <<-- is never going to look at vegetables the same way again

Also:
Fleur: AHAHAHA. DUDE. I JUST GOT QUOTED ON THE RADIO ABOUT HP.
Melle: O_O
Melle: NO WAY
Fleur: I knew they'd be amused by that quote. After the movie, I was chatting with reporters at the premiere, and go "Well, you shouldn't go see it if you're arachnaphobic or an orthodontist."
