"Ruby Tuesday" in my head thanks to Tania.

My work computer has a DVD drive and I can't make it play CDs.  Gar.  (The computer has Real Player, which will play mp3s, but I can't make it just play the contents of the D drive.)

Good things about today:
+ nice weather
+ Sarah sent me the photo that she took of me with the "Sparkling Bean" cow at Copley.
+ Becca replied to my e-mail.  (Seminary?  Whoa.)
+ actual meeting with Prof.B. !!!
+ and as a consequence actually did useful stuff today instead of staring uselessly at the computer all day
+ watched "Serenity" (pilot episode, not movie -- note quotation marks rather than italics) with Eric; for more joy read the writeup of the experience
+ got a positive review on my Lilah/Faith fic over at Notorious
+ finally got swipe card access to FormerUnitHead's office
+ v. positive reaction to a concrit I left, leading to discussion of post-"Chosen" Dawn and also of Xander generally
+ I bought the new Ani CD for $10.49 incl. tax thanks to a Newbury Comics coupon from hedy.  (The regular NC price is $10.88 vs. the $15.99 sticker.)
+ The landlord put in the right screen in my bedroom window.  (Yeah, the previous tenant swapped out the screen for one that didn't fit.  I don't ask questions.)

When I came home the painter was still working -- was until about when I left -- so WJMN was blasting the whole time.  I don't dislike the station, but I wasn't thrilled about the volume.  Since I was leaving soon I just let it go, though.  When he left he said he was all done, so I have my apartment back now.  It'll take a couple days for the paint smell to really vanish, but still.

Wine-tasting was cancelled, so we hung out at Mike's for a while.  (I ordered pumpkin ravioli 'cause I was intrigued, but then they were out of it so I got mushroom ravioli instead; and I forget that ravioli comes with tomato sauce, but it scraped off easily; the ravioli didn't really taste like much, which as I'm me isn't inherently a problem, but I was looking forward to some sort of mushroom taste.)  Then they went bowling but I was feeling tired and am never keen on bowling, so I came home.  Am debating whether I'm tired enough to actually go to bed now.

*ducks tomatoes*

*sorry*

At least it's a *good* song to have in your head, I mean it could be Right Said Fred or something, Bwa!

Oh, it's a lovely song. No tomatoes.

And I don't know Right Said Fred, so you can't earworm me :)

"It's a big rock." What a great name.

"It's a big rock. I can't wait to tell my friends. They don't have a rock this big." -Spike in "Becoming, Part 1" (the Season 2 finale)

One of my favorite quotes. I had forgotten that of course my "all about the rocks" father would be a big fan of the username even without necessarily noticing the cultural reference.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, I didn't think of the cultural reference. And the name doesn't seem quite as cool now since it's only about Buffy and Spike :)

What was the context?

Sorry to have burst your bubble :(

The "big rock" in question was the demon Acathla (who had been turned to stone and whom Angelus was going to pull the sword out of to bring hell on earth).
