I have a desk! It is desky and wonderful and holds my computer! I also found a backpack that can hold my laptop. It was a little pricier than I would have liked for a purchase I'm making under duress, but I don't exactly have a choice. The laptop is three kilograms and the buses go on strike next Monday. (Remind me again why they're allowed to do that? The people who are counting on transit to get to work or school don't control the contract, and we're the ones getting screwed over. That's just not fair.) Even with a backpack, there's no way carrying it to campus (about a forty minute walk when not weighed down) is going to even come close to not sucking.

Also, I totally never posted pictures of our Halloween costumes!







We're such geeks. :p

wow! great costumes! I really have to get myself together and come up with something for Halloween next year.

Hee, thanks. It was my way of procrastinating on packing. :p

I forgot to get a picture of the back of mine. Aka the part where I hit my thumb with a hammer at least a dozen times. ;p

You are the only person I could have ever known that could turn "desk" into an adjective. XD

[yubsie]

It's amazing how many parts of speech most words can be if you try hard enough. ;p

Very cool costumes. :) Hopefully the transit people will come to a deal so they won't go on strike. That totally sucks.

Thanks.

There aren't currently any more talks scheduled. (What is up with that? Someone should lock them in a room and not let them out until they have a deal. Maybe then both sides would get over themselves.) I'm doing the departmental seminar at the end of the month, so I need to bring my laptop to campus.

Transit picks on the riders because the people who have the power to negotiate don't use transit. So they're hoping that the riders will put pressure on the higher-ups to get them what they want.

Death and DEATH are adorable!

I know the logic, I just think it's a skeezy tactic, using people who need to get to work or school as bargaining chips. And think they shouldn't be allowed to strike, because so many people are depending on transit.

Hee, thanks. :p

I bet that white paint was a bitch to get off.
Also, tell Ryan I said nice socks XD

No, but really. Those costumes are awesome. You made yours yourself, amirite?

[yubsie]

Actually, the white paint isn't too bad, it comes off fairly quickly with soap and water. It's the EYELINER that takes forever to get off. :p

Hehe, that was the day we moved. He wasn't thinking his socks would be photographed. :p

Thanks. I made mine, and Ryan's cloak. 'Cause avoiding packing is FUN!
