No, you may not work in groups

Finally hauled my butt down the hill; went to Peet's for some iced coffee... mmmm, how have I missed this all my life? So much better than their espresso, actually. Yum.

Parents got home on Friday night; yesterday I "got" to go to the grocery store, Staples, and CVS to run errands. Fortunately, with the new car (who Younger Sister and I have started calling Cookie Monster, because of the bright blue color) it's quite fun.

I'd forgotten about the lovely mindlessness you get when you're exercising by yourself; the music like white noise in your ear while your brain has a chance to tumble* all the story ideas you've got going around and around, scratching up a new interesting angle. Between that and the shower, I've come up with several new wrinkles to the fics in progress, and some sentences for a SG:A au that I'd thought lost.


In other news, I'm rereading Dorothy L. Sayers books, which are great. I especially like The Five Red Herrings, because it's about artists and painters. After I finish Busman's Honeymoon (not so much moving in order, clearly), I'll pick up Strong Poison again, because Peter meeting Harriet is lovely.

Also, the exercise (perhaps?) seems to have helped jump start me back into thinking about jobs and stuff. Not that I wasn't, just got stalled out with sort of working for Dad. But hey, school hasn't started yet! *scurries*


Also, a question for the masses (though I overstate the amount of people reading my journal): do you think it would make more sense to apply to a tutoring organization or just adverstise on your own? Personal experience with this would be great, but just your opinion would also be extremely helpful.


capedcrusader92, when are you not working in the next bit? I want to call you but not accidentally harass you in the middle of work. Equally, rhymester, we should have a chat again. Hurray for my friends being in my country again XD


Finally, I might have posted the article about "what a teacher makes" but poisoninjest posted the amazing slam poet version on YouTube. Awesomeness personified. Makes me glad that I want to teach.


* I think copperbadge who says his brain is like a rock tumbler, and I always thought it worked so damn well as a concept.
