Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Did everyone see the Team Evil/Team Stupid debate on TDS?

I couldn't stop giggling! Loved Wyatt and Oliver in those t-shirts, and I'd have to go with Team Evil for Fox News--they were too obvious about avoiding using the name of the head of that organization.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That sounds like a great first day, Hil!

{{brenda}} Did you figure out what's causing it?

I am likewise relieved that the summer shows are wrapping up. It's been a lot to keep up with. I have a lot of discretionary time to spend with my DVR, but it still makes me feel like I'm neglecting it with its accusatory high percentage of filled disk.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I've saved a bunch of Luna bar wrappers to send to Terracycle, but I haven't sent them yet. I'll let you know if/ImeanWHEN I do it.

Sorry, brenda. Sounds frustrating.

I have so many tabs open in Safari that I think my laptop is going to explode.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I think as long as you're asking, you've demonstrated your willingness to teach. Eventually, one of them will follow up on it.

I am reminded of my high school calculus class. The teacher would always ask if anyone had any questions/if everyone understood what he had just said, and eventually he said, "OK, I am going to take silence as meaning that you all get this 100%." I swear, I was the only person in that class who ever asked a question, but I do not believe I was the only person who ever HAD a question.

Because books.

Sons of Anarchy starts up next week. Ron Perlman and Katey Sagal FTW!

That's definitely one of the returning shows I'm looking forward to. But there aren't many *new* shows I'm excited about.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

and she would pause everything if she saw a student with a confused look on her (my) face and ask what it was I didn't understand.

I've had calculus professors who could tell by my expression that I knew the answer, so I sometimes got called on for that reason. Usually I'd only raise my hand when no one else knew the answer, or sometimes I wouldn't raise my hand at all if I was afraid I might stutter.

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

I would think that would make it not so useful for drawing.

No, it's actually good. I draw with hard pencils to avoid smudging.

I will move you to the bottom of the pain worry list if that helps.

I can work on the recycled shit. Everyone else can have fresh.

I have so many tabs open in Safari that I think my laptop is going to explode.

I endorse this plan, as I suspect I may be benefiting from it in part.

Man, I thought a fist was going to fly in a meeting today. So much for being the nice place. Oooh.

Now I'm just pissed because people keep missing their meeting times, and this means no lunch break for me.

New-wise I'm definitely checking out Undercovers. Maybe some of the cop stuff--Hawaii Five-O, Blue Bloods.

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

The cheese on top of my microwave lasagna all stuck to the plastic wrap and is now in the trash can instead of on my lunch. Lasagna FAIL.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Not yet. I'm actually a little pissed to be feeling better because it's happened two nights in a row and I cannot go through another night like that. I'd rather suck it up now when it might tell them something. But I'm going back later regardless.
