I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Emily, I want to hear all about the Chauceriffic and math punny wedding. Sounds fabulous already. And congrats on the 35, that project sounded very cool.

Okay, so my mother used the creation story from Genesis 2, instead of 1, which is kind of weird, right? But she's got Aelred's text saying that this was God's way of showing that neither man nor woman was inferior, but that they should be equal, side by side, "as it were collateral." Ha! My mother and I chuckled, stifledly. Of course, it's not really a joke -- that's what he means, is side by side. But... okay, never mind. It was kind of funny. If you were there. And two noted Chaucerians read part of the Franklin's Tale, one in Middle English (with gestures to aid comprehension) and one in English.

Balsamic vinegar is seriously tasty.

Word.

(Stifledly's not a word, is it? Le sigh.)

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Okay, yes, it sucks the "blank" system has been down all day. However, calling me and asking "Is it up yet? When will it be up? Why is it taking so long?" when

1) The server resides in our data center which is an hour away and therefor I have no direct control over it or its repair and

2) The administrator in charge of said system has been sending out hourly status reports via e-mail which state we have a technician on-site replacing various parts of the server and it will take awhile

over and over again serves absolutely no purpose beyond pissing me off.

Hi, how's everyone else today?

It's working fine for me here, Wolfram. I know I've been trouble getting to it from home off and on the past few days, though.

I've been trying for the last 10 minutes in both firefox and IE and all I get is "be patient and try again later" messages. Grrrr.

I've had it open all day with no difficulties. (eta: signed out and signed back in just to check. No trouble)

Hee. Collateral. That sounds like a great ceremony.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Since I almost certainly won't be around tomorrow, let me be the first to say:

Happy Birthday, ND!

What is even happening?

Wolfram, today I'm having trouble with LiveJournal (cc: Sean), not gmail, but when I get those messages, I usually decide to be impatient, refresh, and get right in. Have you tried being impatient?

Doesn't take much effort for me, Cindy. But for once, impatience is not my friend. And neither is patience. Ima try a reboot.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, I had no idea you didn't have a microwave. If I did, I would have given you mine. My new place has one built in. I ended up taking my old one with me, but it is likely just going into storage.
