Angel: Connor, this is Spike and Illyria. Guys, this is Connor. Connor: Hi. umm...I like your outfit. Illyria: Your body warms. This one is lusting after me. Connor: Oh...no, I--I--it's just that it's the outfit. I guess I've had a thing for older women. Angel: They were supposed to fix that.

The evil is this way?

Tell Chris just to keep reminding you how much you are, you know, WRONG. It'll be like I'm there with you.

ETA: Edited, because absence does not make the typing better.

What is even happening?

Oh, don't worry. He already does, as do Julia and Ben, for that matter. How was your Easter? Did you see your pet member of the Evil Triumverate?

What's up, Kristin?

Nothing really. I'm just immersed in grading and needed to thwump my head against the table for a second before getting back to it.

Also, the more vocabulary quizzes I correct, the worse my spelling gets.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Happy Birthday, Tom.

I went to bed far too late last night in a desparate bid to get some work done. And then poor Franny threw up one last time at around 1 am, and she had a fever. But this morning she was feeling bette, at least that's what she indicated when I asked her. (Boy it gets easier when they can tell you what's going on.) She's a little sedate, but not obviously sick and miserable. Of course, right now she's napping but I can hear her coughing every few minutes.

Kristin, my comrade in arms! Come, we will grade together.

Burrell! It is so true: misery does indeed love company. I am currently grading a stack of "psychological profiles" of Holden Caulfield. That sounded like such a good idea...but when half the class never read the book...well, yeah.

Next up: close reading analysis essays. The fun never stops.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

oh god, I'm so sick. nausea, headache. i just want to curl up in a ball and die. but i have to grocery shop, clean the bathroom and kitchen, finish laundry.

Can I not be a grownup for a day and hire someone to be my mommy and take care of me and make me some chicken soup and ginger ale and rent me some movies? Huh? Is there a service for this sort of thing?

Oh Allyson! There is nothing worse than being really sick and not having someone around to mother you. I hope you feel better soon.

Burrell, do you find that music is important while you grade? I've been through Melissa Etheridge, The Who, and now the Chicago soundtrack. It seems to be helping me focus.

Oy, Kristin, those sound unfun. I'm grading research papers, so some of them are fantastic and others are, well, um, not research papers.
