Now tagless for your comfort.
The processing of visual information is definitely a kind of literacy. Filling in the blanks between one panel and the next, knowing how to follow the sequence of panels on a page, these are important skills.
Owen's lacking some important pragmatic language skills and the comics seem to really help that.
Oh, great.
Vending fail sucks.
The pumpkin cheesecake turned out well. I really do wish more buffistas were here to finish it off. DH doesn't really care for cheesecake. I had to practice with this one for a bakesale on Wednesday.

I think they're especially good for reading facial expressions. You can really analyze the faces piece by piece - which is something you can't do with, say, movies or watching people live, since their faces move so quickly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Heathen.
I used to make cheesecakes all the time and just take them into work--back when I was all familial with my coworkers. Which isn't the same as being family with my coworkers. They didn't get cheesecake. It's been forever since I've made one. I used to be a monster. Had multiple recipes of my own...those were the wild and crazy days.
New guy today. Came in with his own laptop. Which makes the fourth new guy I've noticed come in with his own laptop. It's never occurred to me to bring my personal laptop into the office on my first day (or, like, ever). My assumption would be that I wouldn't be able to network it (even if it weren't a Mac--but two of the new guys brought Macs in) and that they would get me a computer in decent time. Which they did. Odd. I brought a folio/binder/notebook thingy, which no one else seems to carry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh, I need to make a pumpkin (or other!) cheesecake, now that I have a springform pan! I wonder if it would be OK for my grandmother, with her many and varied food restrictions...

I need to get the bottom of my springform pan from my old roommate! Cheesecake FTW.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
never made a cheesecake. It is on my 101 list. Maybe next weekend.

I've been thinking pumpkin flan this year for Thanksgiving. I need to find out if my in-laws have ramekins.

Oh god, this is going to be a pain, I can just tell.

This sounds amazing. My husband's stepmom (who is more like a bonus mom) made orange flan... but not in ramekins, it was one giant flan... I don't remember if she used a skillet or what.
