I know this is not really surprising, but it bothered my snozing this morning - guy on NPR saying that the evangelical religious right really does not have a candidate to get out and vote FOR on the Republican side since Huckabee won't get the nom. So, their numbers for the election might be way down. BUT if Clinton gets the nom, they will be highly motivated to get out and vote AGAINST a candidate.
Natter 56: ...we need the writers.
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.
People who confuse "ancestors" with "descendants".
See, I don't get the confusing of opposites. Like, I might confuse descendants with decedent, because they sound alike...
I just had another call regarding the "reimbursement so I don't have to pay you" thing. She also did another caller peeve:
Her: I am calling about your class.
Me: Oh, which class would that be.
Her: The one your department is offering.
Me: We offer many classes. What is the class you are interested in about?
Her: It is the one you sent the email about.
Me: Grrrrrrr
Me: We offer many classes. What is the class you are interested in about?
Her: It is the one you sent the email about.
"That class is full. Anybody who didn't get registered in time is fired. You can find boxes in the office supply closet. Never call here again."
Man, in order to get my state id updated, I need a valid passport, an original birth certificate AND something with my signature on it. Completely ridiculous.
Ugh -- I was just starting to feel like I had a handle on all the deadlines today and tomorrow, when I realized I had forgotten all about one of them! Argh.
If someone finds my brain, could you dust it off and stick it in a coffee pot to soak up some bean juice? Ta ever so.
BTW, I was born in Connecticut and they only sell you certified copies - never an original.

Yeah, that scares me a lot. Even if she won (which I still think she would) the effect on down-ticket Democrats would be ugly.
Apropos of nothing... one of the new techniques we've been learning in one of my classes is called "Sweep." I keep wanting to yell it, but none of my students knows anything about curling, so they would just look at me funny. Funnier.
