well you know what i say, when in doubt internet research.
look up downshifting see what the internet has to say

that may very well be the case.....
it certainly bears further investigation.
strange you should have come so long in life without having realized this fear before.....

werking is all busy style, a paper for tom on stein due tomorrow, and i feel presured to do well grrrrrrrr
oh well, not nearly as busy as you tho it seems
heeheehee nope, no new toys LoL i'll be lucky to get groceries!
i'll werk on the answering machine someime soon...... soon of course being a relative term. *giggle*

i don't think that 'i warned them' gets one off in a murder trial, and i have no desire to bunk with a 3hree hundred pound man named ripper..... LoL

three from you, two hang ups, and one from dana. but i wasn't complaining, they were perhaps the best messages yet :-)

how do i stop my icq from broadcasting? my msn stopped werking, so i ditched trillian and went back to icq, it's better anyways.....

my topic looks liek the refiguring of the Gothic Male tradition into vivatious po-mo format via house of leaves.

and i didn't figure that i needed to reitierate that i'd teach you standard. that has never been in question.

yesyes, conferencing, i'll have to get some esu funding for that but i'll be coming..... not delivering a paper tho, i'll save that for when i actually have to do it in grad skool, and maybe for a topic i'm more inerested in........

what's wrong with my answering machine? i'll have to give him a listen and make sure he's okay

didn't i tell you then that hardship makes for the best memories!!!
and nothing is more difficult to sit through than a backyard production of animal farm the musical
when you know you'll have to walk home in the pitch dark douwnpour
:-)
saltspring is a good memory
and of course what doesn't kill us makes us stronger
(except for wasting diseases like aids, in which case the thing that doesn't kill you will just make you waeker and weaker until something else does the job)
but i don't know and am not really willing to risk the odds that it won't kill us

anyways, i leave my phone at home one day while i'm at school, and i come home to six messages
one of which took a good part of its halfhour ramble to berate me for not having my phone on me!
LoL
i've never used up so many of my minutes listening to someone who wasn't there! :-)

anyways, i'm not really sure what ronnie's idea was
everything else about the messages was crystal clear
but i'm sure we'll werk it out

oooo and i think i've found a supervisor for my honours!
colette coligan
she's the new victorianist we hired last year, i get along with her super well which is good
i'll be her first honours project, and she seems to want to be really involved in it
which will be good for me i think, but she is away to london for the summer
so we will be doing the research semester over email, and ICQ.
ahhhhh the world is a grand place

ooo my gran has just delivered me a bit of mail here
a lovely little envelope with a bird on the front, but no stamps
(you'll have to explain to me how you made the evil mail-man-people deliver the letter without stamps)
heeheehee hurrah for emily strange! these totally rawk the kassba!

sorry, blogger has been being retarded every time i've been home
the best i could get up till today was a blank page that said it was done....

joyce, i hate to say it, but that's still like 7days (or five if you were already mathing in the plane and bus) total in uncomfortable travel conditions, and we were pretty well at each other's throats after two on a peaceful island. In fact, if i remember correctly we both had ugly bruises to show for it. As much as either or both of our worlds may be falling apart, perhaps perpetually, at the end of the day mine is still more solid if i can keep you and ron in it.

also that way doesn't get you your tires....
