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

Er, and also I found out today I got a 92 out of 100 on the math section of the MTEL, so that's one more step toward teacher licensure checked off the list.

hip deep in pie

In shallow news, I just saw a promo for "How I Met Your Mother" billing AH as "American Pie's Alyson Hannigan." Hmph.

The ads for that make me think they are totally trying to be Coupling .

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, also, Kenneth Cole was our orientation dinner speaker tonight, and he's totally my new boyfriend. FYI.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

But I'm in my kitchen, right? The knives are closer.....

You've evacuated, silly, and are looting.

Oh, good luck with that.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

As many as 30,000 people were being housed in the Louisiana Superdome, where toilets were overflowing and there was no air conditioning to provide relief from 90-degree heat.

I don't think it is 60K yet.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Who said 60? It wasn't me, certainly!

In any case, I'm actually not capable of distinguishing between the two. I know one is twice the other, but when it comes to lots of people in one place, my brain goes, "One hundred, five hundred, one thousand, many."

I'm like that on the whole thing, honestly. There's like, not so bad, pretty bad, and then jesus christ what are we going to do?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Mississippi is flooding 6 miles inland. That's what CNN says.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

they had found people to say how genuinely he felt their pain. So there you go.

He might have the stuff for one-on-one, as others mention, but Clinton made such a pavane out of public emotional connection that it's hard to compete with him. (I also suspect that GWB is good with a particular kind of people, and bad with lots of others, while even some hard-core republicans were appalled to discover that they really liked Clinton's civic bathos.)

Everybody is passing tests! First Stephanie, babe in arm no less (or, babe in belly? I have forgotten the time schema), and then Emily! Now JZ will arrive and tell us she got an A in Advanced Can-Can Dancing. Congratulations and those little stress-relief squeezy-balls all round.
