As more of these blasted cars have parts ran by electrical circuits I'm finding my skills are needed less and less. I spent three hours this morning trying to get the timing chain on a stupid Volkswagen to work. I tweaked it, tightened it, loosened it, did everything imaginable. The problem, a fuse in the circuit box was blocking a connection somewhere. Once the burnt fuse was replaced everything was working fine. Damn thing was manifesting like a worn belt so I treated it like a faulty belt. Hell, the belt even had some decent wear on it.

I'm getting too old for this shit.

Is it odd that a British citizen actively celebrates the 4th of July? I even put on an American flag tank-top this morning before heading to the store for provisions. Of course I got all sorts of odd looks when you consider the accent and everything.

But still, I'm quite attached to you America - Happy Day of Birth to you. Your tea is still rubbish though.

What does one give as a birthday present to the man they've started going out with, when it feels that it might turn serious soon, but none of you have said it yet?

...I'm falling for someone. I thought that it would never happen. I've no idea what to expect.

Important question:

Do I get a dog or not? How many of you are dog people?

I think I need a hobby of some sort. Preferably of the stress-reducing kind.

Otherwise, I think I may actually end up throwing one of my students out a window next year.

I swear, if one more student complains about lab reports or final exams, I'll make them do twice as many in punishment. It's too damn much work for me to listen to students bitching all the time.

So I see people are having odd dreams...but does anyone else get those while still awake? Moments where you're doing one thing, and then you're seeing something entirely? Like microsleep, I suppose.

I'm starting to worry.

The Ugly Cup is closing!

That's the little coffee shop I tend to do my notes at after hours. There isn't even a Starbucks or anything nearby. Shame so many little businesses can't make ends meet right now.

Just got the call an hour ago! Yours truly is now the assistant choreographer and Visiting Professor of Dance at UC-Irvine. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit intimidated, going from teaching five year olds to college, but I've got a good track record for leading dancers to getting awards, and I don't plan for that to change. This time next year, UC-Irvine will be national title competitors.

I have to tell you, though. Living in a hotel? Not so bad. But Elspeth, I would like to reschedule to meet up with you. Could we do that?

So I uhm ... I have a pet shop.


[info]far_too_shy

... And it's a nice pet shop! I was really blessed to get a location that is clean and neat and doesn't look like scary people are going to pop up out of nowhere and mug you and steal your pets and wallets.

I know I wouldn't want to buy a pet from a place like that!

It's over in Huntington Beach, and it's called Fluttershy's Menagerie. Oh, Fluttershy is... I guess... kind of a nickname of mine.

I'm bad at this. I'm Minerva, hello internet. It's a lot easier to type here than it is to advertise and make commercials and things.

Anyway, I do a lot of the breeding myself, and I sort of made the mistake of getting a bunny friend for my rabbit, Angel...

And now I have ... well... a whole LOT of bunnies for sale. SO many bunnies for sale. They're all adorable and need love and happy homes, won't you come by and take some of these bunnies off my hands?

I would really appreciate it... if you know, it's not too much trouble.

Does anyone with knowledge of the medieval world or anthropology know of any place or time where three goats and a sheaf of wheat constituted a courtship offering?

I may have set up my first date in ...longer than I care to admit.

And I'm both excited and a nervous wreck. If I could sleep like a normal human being, that would be grand.

Now that I have time to myself for personal studies, I hardly know where to begin. My list is as long as the Great Wall of China and it's hard to narrow it down to just one. Any suggestions?

Although I may have an inkling of where to begin if there's a chance I can get Viktor off the hook before my parents make a move. I will not let them blackmail me into staying here or staying away from him.

Five minutes. I left five minutes late and hit a wall of traffic that you could see from outer space.

But hey, its Friday night and what could be better then playing Angry Birds on your phone while inching slowly but surely up the 91 to your final destination of Gypsum Canyon Road?

10 more miles.

God

New song is totally finished and being mixed by the guys who do that and should be released at the end of the month! YAY!

And you know what's the FUNNEST? Since I'm not in the studio that means more shows! So instead of a minitour, I'm going to play every club in the SoCal area in the next couple of weeks! Everyone should come!!!

Ah, a local network! Good for community social integration without timing inconveniences of face-to-face meetings. Also seems to have effect on honesty of posters, like most forms of anonymity. Benefits of truth outweigh risk if threat of physical confrontation lessened. Digital age has produced interesting new perspective on communication.

Still prefer talking aloud, of course. Auditory learner, need to hear to stimulate thought process. But network useful during especially busy times.
