'Selfless'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I think I prefer the darkness early in the evening than in the morning. There's something just dismal about going to work when it's still pitch black outside.
I agree with that -- and pretty soon, it will be dark when I leave work regardless, so we might as well have some morning light!
Was this one of the joys of a single time zone, or just because you were so far north?
I think the being so far north. Harbin is directly north of Beijing, more or less, and so they would be in the same time zone even if China were divided up.
I *knew* the serial comma was important!
Haha. Excellent! Hooray for the serial comma!
I had a English teacher once who was not a big fan of the serial comma and remember one day just giving her quite the speech on why she was wrong. I was an incredibly precocious middle-schooler, apparently.

And a happy Diwali to all!
I think I prefer the darkness early in the evening than in the morning. There's something just dismal about going to work when it's still pitch black outside.
That's true, and Emmett and I leave the house before dawn to get him to school. However, it did provide a most spectacular sunrise yesterday as we crossed the Bay Bridge.
I feel like I should wear a sari for Diwali. But no.
I once got the most dismissive dressing down on the Oxford comma from a boss. She could "understand," she explained, why I thought it was "necessary," but I was "clearly mistaken."
God, I hated her. I wonder where she is now... ::heads off to LinkedIn::
