Now I am trying to remember if I ever have used just "okay"? I know my partner finds it strange that generally I am always happy no matter what, even when things are no so good. I will always just put on a smile and carry on. It works on most people, but she can always see past that if something is wrong, but most the time I am just generally a happy person and enjoying life, even the less nice parts.

*big energising happy hug*

Once my paper is officially published end of May, I could post a graphic and try to explain my topology a bit if someone is interested in hearing the technical stuff ;-)
But of course I can only explain the topology and its normal applications and not how it works in relation to the special mission of star catching, that is top secret :P

*puts on straight face* Of course I would never do that, I am too polite for swearing :P

That's fine. I will just get Agent to tell me, we all know he will do anything for peanut butter and hugs. :-)

Lukewarm tea...? No, no, no. -passes along a giant soup mug full of extra-strong dark coffee-
You need something with a lot more punch, looks like. =)

Yes, I'm actually writing my thesis on women in Chaucer's works - in this case the Legend of Good Women, Troilus and Criseyde and the Canterbury Tales. It is quite enjoyable, if only because one gets the sense that Chaucer is never entirely straight-faced in whatever he does - there's always a sense of humour, of irony, I think. And it's impressive that you've read all of Shakespeare's works! I still need to get down to that someday. :) Which one is your favourite?

Next week Tuesday. I'm not looking forward to it too much. :P

Thank you! I'm sure it will be a good day. My grandmother is unfortunately not very mobile anymore and she's got some health issues, but she's always very cheery and it's nice to see her.

*big hug* I'm sorry to hear that. I still have all my grandparents save for the grandfather of the one I'm visiting tomorrow. He died when my mother was pregnant with me, so unfortunately I never got to know him, though I've heard a lot about him.

Nice try, but he is very well trained to resist any of these temptations... we all know which are his Achille's heels. ):-|
Ho, hello Crow !! How are you ??...
**Big tired hug**
...
Oops. I forgot you weren't very into hugs... lol
Thanks a lot for the hugs mug of coffee... **diving in it**

I am not sure I would be able to understand it, but it would be great to hear about your work sometime. I bet it is very interesting.

Now I know German women can swear. When I was at university I had a German room mate for a while (called Mina). And while I love the German accent and find it very nice, I know for a fact that she could swear like the best of them. I never really knew what she was saying, but she just turned from a sweet girl with a soft spoken voice, to some banshee hurling abuse over the phone to her boyfriend back in Germany. Very entertaining, and I am sure if I knew German it would have been fun to hear all the words. :-)

Yep that sounds entertaining :D

... Time to work a little harder... I'll come back in the afternoon (hopefully)...
Take care of you, everybody. Don't do stupid things...
**Big Group Hug**

I really miss the Gogbear now ;)

The presentation is Tuesday. :)

And yes, I will! *hug*

Perhaps this is a conspiracy by the gogbear to get more love, since everyone will be happy if we get him back :D

That's right. Maybe i should do the math sometimes to see if it would be actually cheaper for me too.

But we could use dialects ;)

I actually have a copy of The Canterbury Tales in my car, I keep with with me as sometimes my nieces are at the farm and they have been enjoying it. I also like how it seems to have a comic element to it, and it's interesting to see that even after all this time, people are still enjoying the comedy and the writing.

I have read most (if not all) of Shakespeare's sonnets as well. When I was at university the library had his complete works, and I just used to read them while passing some time. I am not sure if I have a favourite, I enjoyed the two you mentioned, as well as things like Hamlet, Julius Caesar, and The Tempest. It's hard to pick as I found many of them enjoyable. The most recent I read was Henry V, and I find it a very nice play, with some good dialogue. I love history, so I tend to enjoy his historical plays quite a lot.

Or so you think, do not forget who was the ringleader regarding the whole birthday ninja gifting. :-)
