Oh, and a woot!hoot! of our own: ESPN has put it's 30 for 30 in house documentary series up for Primetime Emmy consideration. And the "episode" they've chosen to submit to represent the series for nomination consideration is the one Allison worked on! AND! Before she left for Europe she told the other documentary company, that she had been "interning" for that she could no longer work for them. Now they are offering to pay her for one day per week! She has 20% of a regular job! Yay! [Hey, foot in the door people, foot in the door.] Foot in the door is good! And I loved your round up of messages to me and fellow S'cubies. You're so thoughtful.

my really productive day: playing GemCrafters until I got enough XP to go up more than ten levels to level 50. also sometimes I had orange juice or food. I think I need some goals in life. Eh. Being goal-oriented is over-rated, I say.

So.... I'm gonna ramble a bit, if it's all the same to you. Thanks for the not-so-rambly ramble. I loved reading it, and I'm sooooo happy for you.

THE BEST SHOW ON TV THAT NOBODY HERE BUT ME IS WATCHING.
THE VAMPIRE DIARIESI need to put a claim in for Ian Somerhalder.He is sooooooooooooo damn cute and hot as the bad brother vampire that's been hurt by love but who is really a softie who will probably get hurt again and turn really evil, but who cares, because he is sooooooooooo damn cute. Hey, I watch! Vlad Cool. Wasn't the season finale good? I was totally surprised by the twist, although looking back I realized it was telegraphed for a couple of months. Speaking of pretty good seaons finales, The Good Wife had one. And it was good seeing Amy Acker...not enough of her, but she always shines in her scenes. Good morning, S'cubies!

So.... I'm gonna ramble a bit, if it's all the same to you. I've had a really good few years. I married the love of my life (which took some doing, all told, really), I had the most beautiful, sweet baby girl I could ever have hoped for (again, much work went into making her happen, too), and now I've gotten just about the best job I could have wanted. I've been really lucky, and I'm so very happy right now, I just wanted to really share it with everyone. This isn't meant to be boasting; it's just that one of the things I value about you all is how much everyS'cubie really thrills for the good fortunes of the others, and I think we all (myself most definitely included) tend to reserve our longest, most heartfelt posts for when things are going badly, so I wanted to make sure I shared my feelings when things were going well. The only thing that could make my life better right now is if my father was here to see it all. He would have been so relieved and happy to see me paired up with Dave, he would simply have adored Emily with all his heart, and he would have been so proud to watch me start my very own lab, 18 years after I landed in my first advisor's lab. My dad wasn't a good husband, but he was an absolutely terrific father and grandfather. I never, not for one minute, doubted he'd jump in front of a speeding train for me, and he was Camille's best friend in the world. Part of what (and who) I am today is born of the confidence of having one person who always thought I walked on water. Knowing, now, that not everyone has that makes it all the more valuable to me. Which brings me back to my husband, again. Dave isn't always the best partner - at least, not if you want emotional openness and lots of deep conversation. But watching him with Emily...I know, without a doubt, that she's going to grow up knowing that her dad thinks she's the best thing that ever happened to him. She's going to have what I had, and because of that, I know I made the right choice of partner. Well, that and the fact that he never stops being interesting to me, not even after...wow...12 years. At any rate, I'm having sort of the best three years of my life right now, and I wanted to share it with people I know will get a thrill out of hearing it. Much love, S'cubes...especially those who've had a really hard couple of years, and yet still manage to be there for the rest. I'm off to Portland to see my SIL graduate from medical school this weekend. Life is good. Well done! Good news is something I always like to hear, and you've had so much. Heartfelt congratulations on all your achievements and joy. Hey, Riff, howdy! Julia, better days, I hope?

Speaking of good TV: Burn Notice and Royal Pains are back on June third, which is (counts on mental fingers) Thursday night, where everything else has suddenly disappeared.
I'm fine with Michael and Fee, but it's the odd-couple nonparental parent figures I like best. Not that Bruce Campbell and Sharon Gless can do no wrong, but they can do no wrong.
Julia, now when do Eureka and Warehouse 13 come back?

Julia, now when do Eureka and Warehouse 13 come back? I haven't tried "Royal Pains", but I'm with you on the rest. "Eureka" is back July 9th. "Warehouse 13" returns July 6th. Can you hold out till the fireworks die down?

Jeremy's piano accompaniment of his orchestra at Carnegie Hall is included in the newspaper article on top students. The fact that the newspaper called it Carnage Hall makes it sound much more interesting.

Luckliy the boyfriend's parents are in Missouri and unlikely to show up any time soon. Julia, the downside of having kids who've developed normal social lives
