I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

Spike's Bitches 27: I'm Embarrassed for Our Kind.  

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

I put a lot of work into that. I wanted comments!

Were you looking for comments to give you more work to do? Because you really don't need anyone to give you more work to do. Take is as a "good job, right direction" and you'll be fine.

Mostly lurking...

That's a good point. I guess I was expecting there to be some, "maybe move this around" and "you need more data here" or "you don't need as many examples here." Oh well. I will just proceed and hope it means I'm on the right track to get a good grade.

That does seem to be the vw bug track, so I'd say it's a good plan.

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

It does. Asking for an outline is pretty much a disaster aversion/reality check move, with an extra dose of "make them start sometime before the day of the deadline". It's not so much a chance to give the good students a lot of really detailed feedback (because, honestly, it wouldn't even be fair to do so before they've actually fleshed out their arguments), as a chance to say "holy shit, no, you can't possibly do this!" before it's too late. You're doing fine.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Weather report from Western Fairfax County, VA: About 2 inches of snow with a thin icy overlay. Feds are excusing late arrivals of up to 2 hours.

And, just FTR, I got to the office about 8:20.

(showing hand for Angels In America) And to think I was ticked when it wasn't Sopranos/The Wire. I had never heard of it except a synopsis in the paper a few days before, but I was very impressed.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Clear Skies and 1˚F here.

Dusting of snow yesterday, on top of snow a few days ago that's not gone.

Minnesota in January, basically.

Where'd December go?

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

I didn't measure, but I think, based on what I slogged through, we got about 8 inches or so. I only had 2 hours of work today, and one of the hours said she wasn't going to come in anyway, so all work was cancelled. I did clean off the car enough to prove I could probably get to the street without landlady having to snowblow the pea gravel driveway b/c asphalt driveways are too expensive to put in and snowblowers work SO well with the little gravel, but I'm now back in my room and thrilled to have the day off.

Sorry you got to work early, though.

I don't know what the weather is doing right now, but y'all'd probably laugh...it's kind of cold for us, though.It's warm here, but not quite shorts-all-year-tropical...cold stuff comes down from the mountains sometimes.Hec, I just remembered: Tony Kushner likes The Wire enough that he gave The Truth Be Told, the Wire companion, a blurb. When HBO-verses collide...
