I've never had paczki, but now I want one! Apparently the only place you can get them in Nashville is at Publix, which is nowhere near me. Alas!

I have had paczki. I had one with strawberries and custard, which was yuck, and then another kind because I can't remember the singular and how would I post about it then?

I sent out a dept wide email announcing donuts in the kitchen and I said elevenses. Waiting to see which geologists and engineers respond.

Paczek (pronounced pohn-check).

There are still 3 left in the kitchen (all blueberry, I think), and I am DYING. I would totally eat another one if I didn't know the gluten would make my insides cry. (As it is, I'm already paying the price for the first one, which was a decision I made as an adult. I only get paczki once a year, so gluten be damned.)

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

Bon, Vortex, any Buffista lawyers, what's the World Human Rights Moot Court when it's at home?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I feel like Polish isn't really our same alphabet, even though it looks a lot like it. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

That would make sense, wouldn't it?

Polish throws in a bunch of diacriticals (over consonants!) that English doesn't use, for one thing.

(Also, it's not exactly an "n" sound, but I can't render it textually. It's more like "puch-ki," if you swallowed a marble in between the "u" and "ch" sounds. Kind of.)

t edit Although now I really think I'm going to say it "pohn-checky." Because it makes me laugh.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

ita, a moot court is like debate club or a talent show--it's a way for law students to strut their stuff in a make-believe version of the real thing. The teams are given an invented problem, which they research and prepare arguments for, and then they present it in a trial setting, usually before volunteer lawyers and judges.

I assume the World Human Rights Moot Court is an international moot court competition discussing human rights issues, probably relying on principles of international law.

I, too, am grateful for all the Buffistas who could be there physically for Maria.
