My birthday

helvirago... a week late. Well, I spent my birthday flying home on about two and a half hours' sleep, then sitting in front of the computer, conscious enough only to read yuletide recs and email. And that means I didn't get to use my birthday icon, which simply can't be allowed to continue. Yay, I'm not 30 anymore!
Two days of work left. Just finished cleaning out my email from 1999 to the present. Good lord, didn't I ever delete anything? Of course, it does give me a kick to find the "How my mother taught me computer science" email from 2002, and the abridged Beowulf email my mother forwarded in 2000, and the letter she wrote to the local paper chastising them on using "lay" and "lie" wrong, or responses to the email I wrote asking my parents if it'd be okay with them if it maybe took me two years to finish grad school instead of one and a half (in fact, it took me three years to finish that program, and I won't actually be done with grad school until this spring). Good times, man, good times.
