Oh, man. I think my parents looked at one of msbelle's dream houses in around 1983. It wasn't $850K then....
Yeah, but you're an amateur fry cook and I come from a long line of fry cooks that don't live past 25.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Go, see.
Forwarded the link to my home e-mail, as I don't think that's going to be a good thing to watch in my cubical, spacious (and window laden) as it may be.
Thanks, msbelle!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
Frank, I can't wait for a report.
Tommy, if you have $1000 in your cushions I'd be a little worried.
My fantasy of owning one of those homes is crazy. I think I need something between my 950 square feet and that 4000 square feet, but for now my place is fine.

The status is NOT quo.
Frank, from way back, I would love the pilot of Eyes if you feel like sending the tape (I have this week's TiVo'd), but no rush at all.

Timelies. I'm being all productive. Something must be wrong.

So property taxes are only $2,424 on an $850,000 house? New York is a bargain.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
If this is something that you might do every semester (assuming that you like it and they like you) then it might be worth doing even if the pay is low. But if it's a one-time deal you should remember that the prep time is going to be outrageous the first time around.
It might be something I would continue with as long as it doesn't keep me from too many other opportunities. I don't think the prep time will be too bad. I've been teaching similar things to high schoolers at an arts camp for years. I'll have to adjust, but I won't be starting from scratch.
Has this university really never had an adjunct before, or are they hoping your guess will be a lowball?
I think he is hoping my guess will be lowball. It sounds like I'm being asked to take over part of a class that the chair is the teacher of record for. I think he'll probably submit my fee as a sort of guest lecturer instead of adjunct. It would be nice to have adjunct on the resume, though.

Kristin, hold out for the pilot before you watch the next ep. there's a twist at the end of the pilot that will be revealed if you watch the second ep first. it's kind of a doozy.

It's just going to make you love Caetano more.
You mean, am I interested in Tropicalia music? I think the answer I'm looking for is "hell yeah!"
Alrighty then. Duly noted and I'll hit the iMac this weekend.

Property taxes. Argh. Our mill rate was 24.35 last year. OUCH.

Vortex, I missed the beginning of the second ep. How did that end-of-pilot twist get resolved? Since that supposedly gunshot guy shows back up.
Young gay apartment complex.
A friend of mine used to live there. We use the DIY dogwash place on that same block, and marveled at the huge Vespa crowd in the little golf course/snackbar parking lot right there. That explains it.
