I am now officially outnumbered. Two teenage boys in the house, both taller than me. I haven't seen Z since he was about 11 or 12. He is now 16 and 6'2". Yowza.
Tara: Do you have any books on robots? Giles: Oh, yes, dozens. There's a lot of research to be done in order to--no, I'm lying. Haven't got squat. I just like watching Xander squirm.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I'm glad you enjoyed the show, Brenda. I always like hearing the audience reactions for that production. The last counting house scene is especially fun when there are lots of kids in the audience.
So I was working on Christmas Carol thru Wednesday. Friday, I started on Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. How's that for a change of pace?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am done grading for the night, now I just need to email my students their papers. I graded 50 papers in one week. Yay! Still have 5 left to go. Boo!
Coyotes: When I lived in Irvine I saw them fairly often, especially in the evening. Once I was taking a walk and I noticed 4 or 5 of just off the path. It was a bit disconcerting, to say the least, but they seemed pretty uninterested in me. The look they shot me was more, "hey Noisy, you're scaring the rabbits!"

Brenda, that makes me happy. ;)
Steph's angler fish link in Bitches
I have no idea what this is (am about to go read Bitches), but gotta say--I somehow ended up watching Sarah Palin's Alaska this evening (along with the roomie and his gf). It was fascinating, in a bizarre way. Her accent mesmerizes me. And the fishing was also interesting. The family and her speechifying, less so.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I watched Mike Rowe deal with rotting pig corpses covered in maggots -- that seems like it would be less sickening than the Palins, on the whole.
My Comcast Internet went out really hard last night -- the support line to report it was overwhelmed, going straight to "call us back later". I wonder how widespread it was if the automated support lines couldn't keep up.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Me too! That was super traumatic!

I just saw a schoolbus with snow on its roof.
It snowed?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Well, we have school buses that are painted white on top....

Hee! My coworker had his baby yesterday! So no one wins the pool that people weren't that excited to participate in, anyway -- she wasn't due until the 9th.
