I think they'll refund hers, but she said it could take a while. I'm going to go with the new card but let her know not to worry about rushing or anything.

Top of page... so the missing card

I went a bit mad and ordered 4 plus the freebie.  So, Nate and Rhosyn / Anders and Ceri / Alistair and Gwyn / Buntie alone and my freebie was Zevran alone.

Now I'm foot tapping impatiently :whistle:

Ooh, I can't wait to see Ceri! And I haven't seen her do Nathaniel outside of comics so that should be really interesting too! Fanart is my favourite thing ever.

I'm keen to see what she does with him too.  She does have another one but now I can't find it!  Cursed memory.  It was with Alistair I think and a female warden.  Woot found it:

Linky

(Ceri is my avatar atm - looking very innocent.  No doubt plotting something ;) )

@Lupus, I hope you'll get the card eventually, I hope it's not lost. :( That's why all people I know here do only digital pictures, our post will lose everything. :(

yep. 3 lb 12 oz, 16 inches long (a bit less than 2 kg, I think, and somewhere around 40cm. My metric conversions aren't that great). So substantially bigger than he was even when she first went into the hospital (he was closer to 1 lb then, I believe)

Thank you! I feel bad, my sister was in labor for eight hours! That seems like a long time. Makes me kind of grateful I don't have any kids.

@Lupus, congrats! :wizard:

8 hours? I've read it's ok for the first one, and it's not as bad as it seems. At least you don't need to push and be in an awkward pose all the time. 
Of course Miri knows more about it with her experience :)

Eight hours is pretty good for a first labour. Mine was about that. And it's not eight hours of excruciating pain the whole time - it gets worse as the time goes on.

One of my friends just had her first and she was in labour for 36 hours and needed a blood transfusion at the end, so your sister should be pretty happy! Mind you eight hours of labour is still the hardest thing I've ever done EVER, so she should still be congratulated :).

I was only in the labour ward for twenty minutes with my second ;). If she's looking to have another tell her it gets much easier!

Edited to add: I killed the thread with childbirth talk. Kind of like what happens when I start talking at a party ;). Have an Anders:

Nah, I was in an exam. Fifteen handwritten pages. God help me, I think my right hand will be numb for a week.

I haven't written that much by hand since the HSC (end of high school exams, for those outside of NSW)

He's old fashioned, doesn't like take home exams or computers. We can't even use computers in his class.

However, he's also probably one of the most brilliant literature professors I've ever had, so it's worth it.

I really don't know how, but for a tiny liberal arts college in a small, very poor city, my school has an amazing English department. (that and our mascot is a griffin. No kidding)

My favourite English lecturer at Uni taught us Criminal Fictions - he was a Browning fanatic so we did The Ring and the Book along with Bleak House, The Executioner's Song and In Cold Blood. It was the best semester I ever did. He was this delicate, blond bloke who wore pink pants. I was so in love with him.

I think, of all my years in college, my favorite would be torn between two of them. The professor for the exam I had today, who is a sarcastic Mel Brooks fanatic (seriously, he makes people laugh at 8:30 in the morning. that is impressive). He specializes in Civil war through pre-WWII American lit, but I don't think you could stump him with anything. He's just one of those people who will sit and start thinking out loud and come up with brilliant doctoral-dissertation quality ideas off the top of his head.

The other would be my Chaucer professor from my first stint in uni. He's the one who taught me to read and pronounce middle English and actually took the time to explain all the slang. He is the reason I love Chaucer today since god knows I didn't before that class. I love professors who are so good they can change your mind about something.

My favorite English professor taught American literature and Film Studies. He could relate anything back to a Clint Eastwood/Kurosawa movie, which made everything so much easier for a visual person. He also always wore these beat-up, rust brown cowboy boots and smelt like Christmas trees... that didn't hurt. -shrug-

@Lupus- Congrats! I'm glad everything went well with your sister and the little one.
@Estral - That's gorgeous and adorable.

My other favourite lecturer was the man I had for Post Modernism - we did Miss Peabody's Inheritance by Elizabeth Jolley and an exchange student whose nationality shall be withheld refused to believe that it was about middle aged lesbians. The look on his face was priceless when she finally got what was happening in the shower chapter....

@Cave So that explains some of your inspiration behind WYW :).

@Cave: I LOVE those movies. So much. Seriously.
Like Miri I can see the WYW influence now.

Miri- I'm going to guess American.  Since when I had that book in a class there were two fellows who did the same thing. Kind of like how I had to argue that Praed was Mrs. Warren's Gay Best Friend when we did Mrs. Warren's Profession.  Apparently half the class just wasn't seeing it.  Shaw could be subtle, but not THAT subtle.

@Lupus indeed she was American. One of the best looking girls I'd ever seen actually. Quite nice, but a wee bit sheltered, methinks! I think it was the fact that they were middle aged that made it difficult for her :).



We don't get to see enough Shaw here. The Importance of Being Ernest is put on every couple of years but they tend not to bother with the others. Makes me want to go back into amateur dramatics. There was nothing more fun than putting on obscure plays by famous authors in our dingy little cellar theatre.



I miss university sometimes...
