she was at her kids' talent show, being endearing and relatively poor. Sitting in the audience listening to them sing motown, she started screaming in pain and we zoomed in on bad things happening in her abdomen.

Thanks Abi!

brenda, I was reading here, so not paying as much attention as one might, but I'd guess that was a mom watching little girls in a school play and suddenly doubling over in agony with some CSI-cam stomach issue.

I'm thinking that the whole "editor" concept is kind of key to LTE -- otherwise, you have wanky blog comments instead.

This is what I'm thinking.

There's just no freaking point to spending a year learning needlessly complicated ways of almost solving problems that calculus, a mere school year later, will solve in three or four beautifully elegant steps. No point, I say!

This is related to my big issue with the way my stats class was taught last year. It was all this calculation and formulas and bullshit, when what we really need to know is how to use statistical software, and how to interpret all the zillions of research papers we read. @@

TiVo is giving me yesterday's Colbert Reporr, which had Brian Greene on it. My god, the man is such a complete superstring-y hottie.

It was weird seeing that right after watching last week's Criminal Minds, because that had string theory, too. In a crazy nutjob kind of way.

Mrrrrrrrrrowwwwrrrrrrr.

I watched that last night. It was geekalicious. I was swooning all over the place, much to the amusement of DH.

Cass, neck pain.

You should look into getting a higher lap. More ergonomical.

I use my laptop on top of the cardboard box it came in -- it's both higher and not sitting right on my actual lap. Although I'm practically horizontal anyway, so the distance up and down isn't an issue.

I bought a lap desk just for my laptop. It's groovy.

Mine is just the ghetto version of a lap desk -- I store stuff on it and everything.

I like the lap desk because the bottom has squishy stuff so, regardless of what weird leg position I have going on, Trixie is never in any danger of sliding off.
