Gah, just realized in my addled ramblings I missed - my boy earned his BLACK BELT. Yes, I have posted pictures all over facebook and text-spammed the family. He worked so hard to get here. I'm so very proud of him.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Wow, congrats to CJ!
They also have, just through tomorrow, an ice cream float called the Dublin Honey made with the stout ice cream, Valhrona chocolate sauce, and 10-year-old tawny port
You need to go eat that on my behalf.
tommyrot, should I be scared of that link?
Congratulations to CJ! That's excellent, Suzi.
That ice cream looks delicious JZ. My local ice cream place had a Guiness chocolate flavor that was fantastic. Who knew Guiness made good ice cream?
Files are finally sent. I'm shutting down my work stuff. Hopefully I can just fall asleep.
fb freaks me out. Via the postings of a former college acquaintance who lives here and with whom I just reconnected, I deduced the reason that the neighbor 3 doors down walked away from his house a couple years ago. Smalltimore!
That ice cream does sound delicious. Though mostly because anything cold sounds delicious to my currently fevered skin. Despite aloe and NSAIDs.
Also sadly, though the pizza was delicious when we finally tracked the guy down (directions of "turn right after the hair salon and left after the horses" apparently weren't clear enough) the DVD player is broken, so no more Justified for us--I think we watched the first three episodes the other night?
Congrats to CJ! That's tremendous.
meara, are you still vacationing?
Guinness ice cream sounds yum! Wish I had some.
I got a text message from a former student today. She told me she was accepted into Teach for America and is going to be teaching at a middle school in San Jose. Then she told me she wanted to go into teaching because of me. It was super sweet. She was in my first AP class and was super awesome. Her students will be lucky. It's the first student I know of who is going into teaching.
Also, I really love that the IRS has a website called "Where's My Refund?" and that they update it frequently. I always imagine it being called, "Where's My Refund, Beyotch!"
