So, does anyone have a brain for loan? I think I could use one. A brain that's good with words is preferable, please, because I have a 60-pages chapters to prepare a lesson on, for the History and Philosophy of Science class that I'm taking, and it's got all these words.

t whine All the other students got much shorter chapters! The one for next week has only 40, and the one from last week had 20! And they're from the same book, so it's not like the length is being compensated by any level of difficulty t /whine

I just leaped over 2000+ posts in a single bound. I'm moved into my new place now and slowly unpacking.

Who exactly would Chatty!Co-Worker pick as androgynous if not JRM?

I asked him, and he said Leonardo DiCaprio.

We debated it, and finally realized that his criteria for "angrogeny" are strictly about very specific physical attributes, and not demeanor. I still don't see how JRM's physical features aren't androgynous, but apparently they're "masculine" to Chatty.

And, see, *I* don't see DiCaprio as androgynous. Skirting the edge of angrogyny, maybe. Barely.

DiCaprio used to be androgynous (R+J, for instance, he's sharing gender space with Danes), but puberty caught up with him and now he looks simply guy to me.

yay for RSI improvement - jobma~~ heading out

Nilly, if you're still not here, the lead for the year in review article in Sunday's paper reminded me of you. It said, "The number 2004 is elegant and self-contained. Two is followed by two zeroes, followed by two squared."

And Happy Birthday, ita. May you kick someone in the head today.

The Slate reviewer of Velvet Goldmine actually used the phrase "the beautiful, brazenly slim-hipped Rhys-Meyers". Not fey, my foot.

just had not planned meeting that made my head spin. budget numbers based on, well, nothing. videographer =zero because honoree's relative does that. hasn't agreed to do it for free, but I am told to budget zero. is anyone making the call to the relative? nope.

specifics on how to get things done, none are given - even when I specifically ask. these people drive me crazy.

Baseball Hall of Fame announcement today.

Boggs for sure. Sandberg should be. After that it's dicey, but I'd put in Blyleven and Goose.

msbelle's coworkers should be more...what's the word I'm looking for...NotStupid.

Congrats, ND.

Thanks, Ginger. 2005 is pretty nice, too - it's the square of 5 (25) separated by 2 zeroes, so again with the 2s, only from a different place.

msbelle, sorry for the crazy.
