It'll be okay, Tom! Talk about: Buffy, beer, tea, travel indiepop and xkcd!
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Go Tom!! Good luck!
I have graded 20 long papers (6-10 pages each) 50 short responses (2 pages each) and I still have another 20 long papers to go. UGH. No. Good.
But I did make stew (with chipotle and smoked paprika.... and it's really delish, but more like soup). I think I'll make buttermilk biscuits for dinner.

Sometimes I think we should just give up and let "alot" be a word.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Go, Tom!
I don't think I know how to make any of those dating doohickeys work. I don't think I know how to make those menfolk doohickeys work. It's all beyond me.
msbelle, I think you had a good day.
The holiday resulted in a crazy smooth commute for me. Hope it's silky on the way home today.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Tom!!! Go Speed Dater!!

Lou Dobbs is quitting--tonight's his last show on CNN. Last minute announcement, so I'm guessing it was either resign or get canned.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I don't think I know how to make any of those dating doohickeys work.
This is why I've basically given up on online dating in favor of these things where people just show up in front of you -- speed dating and the like. It's just meeting a new person.

Good luck Tom!
The holiday is messing me up, I keep thinking it's a Sunday.
ETA: Apparently the holiday is really messing me up.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Good luck, Tom!
I had no idea they had a turkey flavour drink. EW.
They make special holiday flavors each year for different holidays. I think they usually have a pack of four flavors for each holiday, and there's usually one good one, two that seem kind of weird, and one whose only purpose seems to be for people to dare each other to drink it. The Thanksgiving package has Turkey, Mashed Potatoes, Green Bean Casserole, Cranberry, and Fruitcake, which seems a bit more skewed toward the "ew" than usual. Christmas package is Ham, Christmas Tree, Eggnog, and Sugar Plum, and Chanukah package is Latkes, Apple Sauce, Gelt, and Jelly Donuts.
Neti pot: I usually just use it either when I'm feeling really stuffed up or when I get a nosebleed.
