The status is NOT quo.

Flip teaching isn't actually all that new--it's very cool for certain lessons and classes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck with that, Sophia.

The news is reporting a multi-car pile up (no major injuries) in Japan that involved eight Ferraris, two Lambourghinis, a Rolls, and a smattering of Mercedes(es?).

That's bananas. Were they all going to or from some event? That article doesn't say, as far as I could tell.

Because books.

Fingers crossed it's not a big deal, Sophia.

It's almost like the college model, where you attend a lecture but then join a smaller group for discussion, but even more hands on.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

It was a bunch of fancy foreign car enthusiasts, and it sounds like they were having a bit of an unauthorized rally/race. The crash was started when somebody tried to zoom around to the lead in wet conditions and lost control.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Dinosaur comics brings the HTML Rap.

It occurs to me that Community should do an episode based around Dinosaur comics and xkcd. Maybe a little Kate Beaton.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Oh, fiddlesticks. Reyes singing with the Marlins.

I wish they would just sell the team for the good of the franchise. Stupid frigging Wilpons.

That stings. If it helps, he'll almost certainly be hurt for half his contract in Miami, and the signing will piss off Hanley Ramirez.
