Tuesday wol occurs in handfuls! I can't even remember who linked this. Possibly [livejournal.com profile] first_fallen.



Other than that, I got nuttin'. Change of curriculum is over, and the corridor outside my office is littered with the bleeding, savaged corpses of students who didn't read the notices. I seem to be excessively grumpy. On the upside, chilli chocolate steak at Bombay Bicycle Club last night. Also, happy birthday the Jo!

Subject line, of course, is Goats. Goats: overclocking your lemons since 1997. Good grief. Who even remembers 1997?

I remember 1997! A particularly fine year for meeting future husbands. Also, for graduating. Fine year.

1997 is a bit vague in my consciousness. Apparently it was my second year of PhD reg (checked the student database) and I taught Victorian fantasy and produced tutorial outlines in WordPerfect (checked my 1997 teaching folder). Good grief. Who remembers WordPerfect? Counting on my fingers suggests I was living in Strubens Road, and possibly dating [livejournal.com profile] bumpy_cat. The Dragonfire history page says I was writing Cthulhu modules with him, which seems to back up this assumption, and thus supports the hypothesis that it was a Good Year. It was also the year in which we wrote Attack of the Vapours (), which means, I think, it was the year I met Jo and Claire. So it was, in fact, reasonably vintage for me too.

My life history is weirdly distributed in virtual space. Welcome to the future.

It was early in SCA time too, the first local event was in 1996. Ah, those apple-cheeked years!

Rahter than remembering old years, have a current year, with LOTS of owls:

Ah, 1997! It was a good year for overclocking!

It was a good or bad year for Hong Kong, depending on your point of view.

Personally, I don't really remember it much. :-)
