Thanks, babe. I really appreciate it. I'll call you about 6:15 board time, if that's ok.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Someone please tell tell me why I'm still watching Smallville?
Because you're a masochist?
I heard it's improved this season, but I don't know whether I want to catch up or not. It was supposed to be the last! WHY DOES IT KEEP GOING?

Because you are a glutton for punishment?
Oh, and I sent an email to that student who had complained about my grading system. I explained the system again, pointed out that, in the five or so different emails I sent out over the course of the semester with the breakdown of average grades to letter grades, each one was slightly different, and they were meant to give the students a sense of where they were at that point, not of what to aim for at the end of the semester, and I used the phrase "as I explained in class" a lot, because he was almost never actually in class and I was getting annoyed by that point in the email. (That last is possibly not as mature as I should have been, I realized after I sent it. But it's not like he can complain about that.)
Heh. A friend of mine who became very Orthodox a few years ago sent me an email telling me that she's working for Aish HaTorah (a group dedicated to getting Jews to become super-religious), and her job is to find "secular Jews" who want to go on low-cost trips and learn about Judaism, and wanted to know if I'd be interested in being one of those secular Jews.
If you're a secular Jew, Hil, what am I?
Oh yeah, the answer is probably a very lapsed Catholic.
She knows that I light candles, observe the major holidays, and go to synagogue every once in a while. But I don't keep Shabbat, and I don't keep kosher, and I wear jeans and shorts and tank tops, so I'm secular. Oh, and I watch TV. Clearly secular.
