They probably didn't know how little time there was, either. Damn, that's a heartbreaking situation.

Not so much with the calculator part that I was looking for, though... It's cool. I just converted back and forth. I feel certain this assignment wasn't supposed to take quite so long -- was it really necessary that in addition to computing the angles using Ptolemy's formula, we also had to do the fractional part in base 60? Argh. Next up: calculus with the parabola. Ew.
Allyson, er, I'm trying to think of something to say that they didn't already. That's very sad.

Alton Brown style microwave popcorn totally rules, and it's mega-cheap compared to store-bought microwave popcorn. Although I'm running out of staples.

Ouch. That's sad, Allyson.
I am now leaving work for my 90 minute drive home.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Someone tell me that next week's GG won't be as crap as this week. What's up with Lorelai? I can see Rory acting like a bit of an ass, but she's the more sensible one in this scenario, by far. It's alienating me.
Drive safely, Matt. That's a hell of a work day.

Allyson, that is so sad. What a... what a... damn.

In somewhat perplexing news:
A PERSONAL MESSAGE FROM CHRIS CAGLE
October 3rd, 2005
To All My Loyal Music Fans:
"As many of you are aware, I had been anxiously awaiting the addition of a new baby to my life. The baby has been born and both mother and child are in good health. Since the birth, however, we have discovered that biologically, the child is not mine.
As excited as I was about becoming a new father, my disappointment is equally as strong. So out of respect for all that are involved, please allow this situation to remain private and know that I will not be commenting further on this very personal matter. I'm thanking you in advance for your kind cooperation and understanding."
I'm not sure -- am I violating his privacy by reposting this?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Oh my.
Seems to me to be a very polite fuck-you to his wife, or whatever.
Or maybe he knew it might not have been his before the baby was born?

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
Wow. That's... huh. That's a bad day, is what that is.
When did we lose "brontosaurus"?!?
Um, 1980s sometime, I think? The paleontological community decided that the apatosaurus and the brontosaurus were the same animal, and since the apatosaurus had been named first, it won.

The paleontological community decided that the apatosaurus and the brontosaurus were the same animal, and since the apatosaurus had been named first, it won.
Which goes to show you how bad decisions get made. They should have asked the legion of first-graders who knew brontosaurus, but had never heard of apatosaurus! Then we wouldn't have had to give up brontosaurus, and life would be peachy.
Allyson, that's the saddest thing I've heard in a day of sad things.
