I think tonight, I might prevail upon my bar-owning packmate for some whiskey.
Mr. Stone.
Jaime.
Do you care to join me? Please to be bearing in mind this is not a come-on in any way shape or form. |

Well, I am now nominally unemployed.
I realize that with everything everyone is thinking of right now this is not important information to have. Of course, I still mentor to what seems like hundreds, but the community college will no longer be writing me any checks.
I am in negotiations with Seattle Pacific and University of Washington.
It is hard to care about them. |

Has anyone seen Ms. Carlton?
I called Professor McAibre to see if I could borrow her for awhile to show me some sewing tricks, but apparently she hasn't been there, either. |

No response to the phone chez Ciaran. I suppose my plans for the evening have fallen through. Sigh.
Ah well, I have no objections to fried chicken and perhaps my dignity will sustain playing with a ball for awhile. |

I fear I am becoming one of those horrible Americans completely disconnected from the public and from the news.
All my hopes are with you at this moment, Great Britain. I don't believe that anyone I am personally acquainted with is there right now, but that does not change the fact that such terrorism is deeply unsettling.
I do not, however, give the terrorists the satisfaction of becoming afraid. |

My email is not working. This does not make me pleased.
Liam:
I believe the answer to the equation that you have presented is that there can be no solution to such a problem. I think you may be overcomplicating the situation unnecessarily. Perhaps if you look at it from this angle. You have a pie. Can you divide the pie into no pieces? For this you would have to consume the entire pie, and in order to consume the pie it must have been divided into pieces (even if you ate the whole pie, this would be one piece). I realize this is a familiar mathematical principle for anyone who has taken elementary mathematics, but all science builds on itself. You cannot build a rocket without first acquiring the raw materials.
Natalie:
Your recommendation is written and stamped. I will put it in the mail first thing in the morning. It contains my deepest apologies to the Northwestern Admissions Office as it was unavoidably detained by a gunshot wound I received on a hunting trip recently.
Jeremy:
It is of no concern of mine that your lady-friend is a bitch-whore from the seventh circle of hell, although you do have my condolences. I suggest that you submit it to the next issue of the university's journal in hopes that they are still interested in quasars in a few months; it is only your bad luck that you could not meet the deadline while distracted. There are only so many strings I can pull, and in attempting to miss quasars and romance I believe you may be hoist with your own petard.
I don't believe I can reach anyone else in my emailbox via this journal.
Hmph. |

I believe I should have preferred the bus. |

I am going for a run. You people are all tremendously frustrating. I will be back in a few hours unless God decides to hit me with a bus. |

It has come to my attention that I owe you an apology, Mr. Stone.
What might I do to gain your pardon? |

Most of the time I consider myself a creature of rationality and logic.
Then there are moments like the one I just had, when I signed the lease on this apartment in this podunk town, and I wonder if I haven't been deluding myself for the entire span of my adult life. |

Well, that was an entertaining interlude.
I am now back in Maidwick after a trip to Missoula. I am not surprised if you did not notice my absence.
I have found my time here to be ... surprisingly enjoyable. Perchance I am not as lonewolf by nature as I had suspected ... If you would not object to taking in more waifs and strays, when you return from Chicago, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) felicitywolf, perhaps we could meet to discuss the possibility of a more permanent arrangement. |

I guest-lectured about subatomic particles today.
Then I was really quite rude to someone who completely deserved it.
I am quite pleased with myself and I think I owe myself a beer and some fried rice. I am helping a student with calculus at present, but when I have completed that, would any of you Maidwick fellows care to join me?
Professor Kiernan, perhaps? I could purchase a coffee for you. |

Today: home base. UCLA. What passes for home base, in any event. I grow tired of your insolence, student masses.
Next: Portland. A meeting with my publisher, of all things. It's good that I am not afraid of flying. Flying everywhere.
(I am going hiking outside of Portland this weekend. It should be a lark of some kind. Or some other songbird, possibly.)
Then, a guest lecture series at University of Washington. Particle physics. I may drop in and visit with my friend Professor Johnson in molecular biology as well. It's been a long time. We could do drinks. (Kathleen, do you exist on the internet, and are you reading this? If so call me, I would like to arrange a meeting.)
I am sick of L.A. ... the smog, the people. (Especially certain people who will remain nameless but who hound me beyond the shadow of toleration. As though my background were my fault! It seems as though you people do not much care for foreigners, and in California, no less, heterogeneous as heterogeneous can be. Sickening.) |
