How are you feeling, Jilli?
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How are you feeling, Jilli?
Pretty good, actually. Well enough to go out to see the new Harry Potter movie this afternoon, at least. Because yes, I'm a silly silly fan.

Rick, I love RateMyProfessor. I've been to the Canadian site and it's interesting to find that the comments on some of the profs I had almost 15 years ago are the same comments I would have had.

I can't even.
Little tiny snowflakes are falling from the sky and blowing around here. The view from my office window is like a street scene in a snowglobe. This may be charming to some. I am not a lover o' the winter.
Nothing planned this weekend, thank goodness. I was out doing Bitterpalooza with some pals last night, and am tired and dehydrated from the beer consumption, but it was a good night. Tonight, I have dinner plans with friends at one of my favourite restaurants. [link]
My parents return from their semi-annual Myrtle Beach visit on Sunday and are in town for a few days, so some of my time on Saturday will be dedicated to tidying up from my usual slight disarray to Mum-level clean.
Glad to be doing not much else, for a change. Fall has gone in an eyeblink, with the work busyness and all.

But no matter how cold it is, it will be warm in the apartment. I no longer fear the heat death of the universe.
Right there with you. I left the windows open all day yesterday, it dropped below freezing by the time I got home at night, yet inside it was 56°. Thanks for paying me back with free heat, downstairs neighbor that I did not wash out with a flood of sewerage!

Rick, are you sure that student didn't have "I LOVE YOU" written in eyeliner on her eyelids? Watch for the blinkers!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Yeah, Rick, I wouldn't write that about my teacher unless I wanted to boink him.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I've been talking about the teacher rating thing a fair amount recently, and it's interesting -- the form we use at my school was designed by a student committee, and doesn't include a single question about how much you learned in the class. Oops. Granted, it asks how useful it was, what classes prepared you for it, what classes it prepared you for, and like that, but nothing explicitly about learning.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My apartment overheats very easily (ginormous radiators, tiny little rooms), so we leave the windows open practically all winter.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I could only remember the name of one CompSci professor at McGill who's still there, and their comments would be like mine -- brilliant guy, but he should pass more people.
Now I'm looking up a college friend, and they're not being nice to her at all. Ouch.
