I’m very cranky today. I don’t like it. I don’t like who I feel like I am when I feel this way. So I am not letting cranky me do anything that non-cranky me might regret. Which means delaying some email responses, among other things. Get over yourself, cranky Kimberly.

Been trying to figure out who to cosplay for my dissertation defense. Needs to be professional, comfortable, light makeup, no wig, preferably works with glasses. I’d been toying with a genderbent Data but I think I have a better idea now. (Still a genderbend.)

See this is why we read in the original language if we can: Caesar says the Rhine bends toward Ursa Major, while the translation says “this land has one frontier to the north.” I know which I prefer.

If you’ve been away from Latin for 10+ years but want to return to reading it as a hobby, Caesar’s De Bello Gallico is as gentle a re-introduction as it is an introduction for baby Latin students. Highly recommend.

Things my kid said tonight:
“Mommy, you’ll never be a doctor.” 💔
“I’m going to imagine having a moth for a brother.” 💗

Finished reading: The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving 📚

I think… I think I just don’t enjoy consuming Actual Play content and maybe that’s okay?

Okay seriously is anyone keeping any of their shit together right now?

📽️ I just finished watching REBECCA on Netflix and it’s… fine. But it’s not gothic. Glen Weldon’s review sums it up pretty well.
