you all are wonderful!
In super happy school news: I am using something called Edmodo which is like facebook for school with my classes. All papers in my larger classes have to be turned in online through Edmodo, where I can give feedback and a grade. Believe it or not, I've already graded 5% of the papers that are due tomorrow! Technology rocks.
(Plus I HATE lugging papers around)

Kat, I just voted, signed up for daily reminders, and just posted it to my FB. I'll try to remember to post it to Twitter tomorrow, too.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Kat, I've had a hard time remembering to vote but I've voted several times. I've linked to it on Facebook and Friendfeed.com before. I just voted again. And I just tweeted about it. And a friend of mine saw it and tweeted Michael Pollan about it so maybe, if we're lucky, something will come of that. I'm sorry it's been a bummer. I'm really sorry they've given you that many students per class, too!
ETA: Okay, another friend with a lot of followers on Twitter just RT'd it so hopefully you'll see more votes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've got a squash and chestnut casserole recipe that's really good, but it takes a while to make. I usually make it for Thanksgiving.

Loki gets a disproportionate number of pictures because a) he's a poser b) for a crazy active cat, he holds still when a camera is pointed at him and c) he just photographs well. If I approach Devi or MK with a camera or the laptop, invariably they run away or towards me or glare or blink or otherwise lose what I was trying to capture. Loki? He sleeps funny, and nearby and if you get eye contact going, he waits for a cue.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Vet instructions to me were to only feed my kitty Squeaky tonight if she was hungry, and then only 1/3rd of a regular feeding. She just wolfed it down and is still hungry - poor thing.
And a vet assistant told me you can bring pets on the CTA if they're caged. So I decided to just try it and see if anyone said anything. No one did, so I saved $8 cab fare back. Got a few smiles from people admiring the pretty kitty....

tommy, you need to show us Squeaky. Glad she got some nice attention on the way home.
I'm currently starving Loki. He's too fat. So I measure out his food and don't just fill the dish full (miraculously, he isn't raiding the other cats' food, which is...new.) But my ankles are being bitten a lot, and I'm probably not paying close enough attention and giving him more than I planned, cause I can't recall, did I fill it last night?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Twitchange for charity. Bid on the apportunity to get a celeb to follow you for, it seems, 90 days, with one guaranteed retweet.
WEIRD. I mean, I recently donated for a fanvid and pledged for Misha's run, so obviously fandom donations isn't an alien idea. But MC Hammer retweeting me? Just weird. Nathan Fillion's going for over $3K, last I looked.
