Is it acceptable to have breakfast desert?

Is that a trick question?

The grocery store near me has these boxes that contain two slices of pie (cheesecake, key lime pie, etc). I thought that's what I bought yesterday, but it turns out I bought a whole cheesecake. So now I have the cheesecake equivelent of Too Much Candy, except there's no one here to eat it off my neck. At least not until my boss's dog gets in....

Hayden needs to be paired with Jonathan

If this actually referred to me, this would be a very short pairing. After I broke his nose, they'd probably disqualify me. But DAMN that would be enjoyable.

Also, re: TAR, to kat p: Freddy didn't start puking until his dumb-ass racist shithead of a girlfriend pointed out all of the puke on the floor.

I really can't stand the Fear Factor-level challenges. Between that and the enabling of the blue-haired wifebeater, TAR is quickly becoming the show I am most likely to drop if it doesn't clean up its act.

VM: I missed most of the first half (although I taped TAR, I figured I'd be around to watch VM). Would someone be so kind as to fill me in about what happened?

I've already dropped TAR (after one glorious season of LOVING it) because of the reasons hayden cited. It makes me sad. I do read the TWOP recaps though.

I watched 50 First Dates on HBO instead. It made me cry because I am the World's Most Sappiest Sap.

NOT YOU, hayden.

The beyootch chic Hayden on TAR.

I would never ever ever wish that on you.

If this actually referred to me

It's capitalized, it can't be you.

In other news, for the class I'm taking in "History and Philosophy of Science", I have to prepare a lesson on the second chapter of Leviathan and the Air-Pump. Have you ever heard of it? The professor hinted (spoilers for homework!) that the final conclusion of the book is that what affected each scientific stand is the political view of the people involved (Boyle and Hobbes). The whole way of looking at science from such a "what does the science matter? let's look at the people involved!" point of view is fascinating.

[Edit: does posting about the thing I'm actually supposed to do count as goofing off, or not? Hmm]

LJ hates me today -- I went to the site and the place to log-in is gone!

What's up with that?

All the public schools in my area are closed and lots of the private ones as well. And it's snowing very prettily right now.

We are just far enough north to have missed out getting icy/snow mixture instead of snow. (Seriously, the weather reports were saying north of I-88 snow and south of it ice and we're just north of I-88.)

There's still enough that I love about TAR to outweigh the bad. The soup didn't seem nearly as gross as the caviar from last year or the squid from the Reichen/Chip year. I think once you get in a room with all that puke and puking going on, you just can't help but puke, too, unless you have a cast iron stomach or are Rebecca (who totally rocked that challenge). The thing that's really turning me off of TAR is the casting. They are getting to be as bad as The Real World in their search to cast "characters". As long as there's Phil, I'll be around.

I read the Leviathan in college and remember NOTHING. that's all I can add.

I am gathering research on a prospective donor. The person has a) never given to us. b) not stayed in touch. c) given only to orgs within her current state (not NY) that I can determine.

Still, I think there would be a good chance that we could get a sizeable gift from her given her interests and our programs. But I know the people I work for and with. They will want a large gift after one meeting or nothing at all. stoopid expectations. still, I do what they ask. and smile.

sumi, LJ has been sucking for me for a while. I even switched browsers, and it didn't help much.
