Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

What is wrong with people! Why are they making me do SO MUCH Work the friday before a holiday?

Right? I'm having that day too. Wish I could say I was off to something fun and/or relaxing tonight, but I cannot. Nor tomorrow nor Sunday. Feh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

That's because I am stealing JZ for the day on Saturday Hec.

So, I'm catching up on the DVR. I'm on my 3rd PrisonBreak. Good Times.

Can anyone give me a good reason to not buy my birthday/Christmas present to myself today?

I think I just splurged on a present for myself, so why not?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh dear lord. A guy who was with me on my high school newspaper is now teaching journalism at my alma mater. BWAHAHAHAHA! His ratings all say he's a "cool guy". Of course he's cool, he's probably got better comics collections than all of his students put together.

Eddie, I'm a little peeved that it's gonna take me two semesters to understand Galois Theory, and here somebody goes and writes a pop-science book on it. UNFAIR!

Specially since I won't get to take the second semester, so I may never understand it! It will be like this big unfinished thing in my life! Like my homework!

I killed it dead. Are you all avoiding me, or do you really have interesting lives?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

this lane is reserved for ten items or less fewer.

My late, lamented Good Grocery store had their pre-printed signs say "fewer." I always liked it. I don't live in the neighborhood any more, and the store is closed. Alas.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I first saw ratemyprofessor.com sometime last year. As far as I can tell, almost nobody at my school who teaches first-year calculus gets good ratings for it. I'm (thankfully) not rated by anyone yet, but I have been mentioned, though not by name, in the reviews of a few professors for classes where I was the TA. (Huh. And the professor I'm TAing for this semester apparently "looks just like a Russian Super Mario.")
