damn that recipe looks good!
It is -- I usually use the whole can of Guinness, and add carrots and potatoes.
Flames wouldn't be eternal if they actually consumed anything.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Oh, crap. I don't believe it: [link]
On the positive side, the paper's (unscientific) online poll has people 82% against teaching Creationism in schools. Why the freakin' education minister finds this difficult is beyond me.

If I only had a brain...
Connie's truck was " hauling 35,000 pounds of caste booster explosives". What, one stick of TNT and you're a Brahmin in the next life?

Don't phrase it like that, the secret operatives will be coming after me next.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Congrats Allyson!

Addresses of hotels I'm considering:
Chelsea Inn, 46 W 17th St [link]
Hotel Thirty Thirty, 30 East 30th Street [link]
Mount Royal Hotel, 315 West 94th Street [link]
Any thoughts on location? I'm leaning towards the Thirty Thirty.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I don't know about "semi-private bath" but 17th & 5th isn't a bad location at all. It's convenient to trains, union square and all the chain stores you can stand on 5th & 6th.

Because books.
I wouldn't want to go as far uptown as 94th St., Nora. I think Hotel Thirty Thirty looks great. And like bon bon said, I'm a little leery of the "shared bath" thing.

What is even happening?
I wouldn't do the shared bath thing. I won't even go to beautiful B&Bs in the country, that make you share a bath--never mind in NYC.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Go Team Allyson!!!!
Wait, no... I want someone to pay me to do absolutely nothing at all, no strings attached. That's my dream job.
Sorry, Fay just got that job.
...well, officially I'll be doing "preparatory work for the school's opening in September 2006" - but wtf does that mean? Shmoozing with prospective parents? Planning? I'm baffled. And not entirely sure whether I should accept. I mean, on the one hand, full salary and benefits to fanny around in Cairo. Nice. On the other hand - a whole year of not getting any classroom experience and being thoroughly out of the loop wrt teaching in the UK. Not so good, if this is my career and vocation.
Damn it.
I know that I could walk straight into a job with Evil Former Boss, no bother. He's still recruiting. Or I could accept the payoff and then stay here and temp. Only I'd need to sort things out in Cairo, with the flat and the cat and all that jazz. And I don't want to leave yet. I like my life out there.
t /first world problem.
Just call me MarieAntoinette. Or CousinJean. (On the plus side, might get that novel written...)
