Happy Birthday, JZ.
The Spaghetti Factory used to serve this as the "Homer" style, I don't know if they still do. Now that I'm living somewhere I can actually get mizithra, I made it for lunch, and it's...okay. I think I used to really like it.
They still do! They just don't call it Homer style. They just call it mizithra (and butter, yes?). I still love it but I'm a fan of salty cheeses.
Speaking of which. I should get a move on so I'm dressed and ready and not slugabug, even though I still have another hour or so before I must leave.
Happiest of birthdays to JZ!
[Edit: my post # is like the consecutive digits mix themselves up to have dates with the ones that aren't usually next to them. Math romance.]
I. Love. Nilly!
t waves to Nilly
I'm glad you're no longer puking up metaphorical slugs!
Well, so far it seems I've attracted a lot of attention from women who do not, technically, live in the same country as me.
I keep forgetting how huge Australia actually is. I mean, the furthest a possible blind-date can be from me is a couple of hours by car.
I'm beginning to think I shouldn't have included the phrase "slavering werespawn". Especially when addressing them. I'm going to experiment with waiting until the second email before asking for their cranial measurements too.
Hey, if they can't encourage your perfectly healthy hobbies (I nearly typed "hobbits") and interests, then they're not for you! Um, or maybe take out either the "were" or the "spawn".
So no actual speed would be required on your part.
It usually takes me forever to know a person. I mean, unless it's really honestly completely nothing-to-talk-about (and I've had such blind dates, so I know that's a definite possibility), I usually feel like I need more time. I can just imagine myself running out after the speed-date session to ask people questions I didn't get time to ask when we were supposed to talk. Like those students who run after the lecturer to catch up on the last things told in class, with a notebook and a pencil.
Except possibly in talking, and my past experience assures me you will have no difficulty there.
Hee. On my first evening in the USA, on the dinner with Allyon and Kristen and Tim, they were talking so fast, sometimes it felt like a conversational tennis match, and was really hard for me to follow. A couple of days later, I described this dinner to Betsy over the phone. While doing that, I could hear Allyson laughing at me - she said it was silly, me talking so very fast about how other people were speaking quickly in English.
This must be what heaven is like.
Oh, excellent. Here the semester ended last week, so I only have a few more grading to do, then the students' exams, and then they'll have time off. I, however, hope to actually manage to do some work over the summer (I'm so way behind, it's crazy).

Yeah! They call it a sign of a diseased mind, I call it "product differentiation".

Oh, that's ok. That's what the next date is for. (And, on the plus side, you'll have the notebook and pencil right there!)

Did you put "phrenology" in your list of hobbies? If so, add "trepanation" to really confuse 'em. Wait, maybe confusion isn't the effect you're after....
Also, what was the context of "slavering werespawn"?
Nilly, how does the school year run for you, as a grad student?
Also, what was the context of "slavering werespawn"?
This needs context? Okay, tommyrot. I need to see your Buffista i.d. card, right now.
Also, what was the context of "slavering werespawn"?
Slavering werespawn, as in "Dear slavering werespawn".
Did you put "phrenology" in your list of hobbies?
Yup. And I told 'em I'd added them to my phrends list.
