Mal ,'Ariel'
[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.
In the article I'm currently editing, here is the amusingly complicated sentence of the day:
"The lack of causality and the biases in model estimation due to presence of endogeneity make it important to observe the data longitudinally."
Yes, indeed. Observe that data longitudinally! All night long!
make it important to observe the data longitudinally.
Damn. I've been observing the data latitudinally for years now. I guess that's where it all went wrong.
Huh. I googled 'endogeneity.' I stopped reading when I encountered the following phrase in the Google results: "Given the inefficiencies due to the endogeneity of bloody diarrhea..."
Money situation is not *quite* as bad as I thought. Just talked to someone in the Bursar's office, who was actually fairly helpful. Contrary to what the computer says, I'm getting two checks on Friday...totaling about half of what I'll be getting total. The other part will come after they've received the check from Mass Rehab, paying for my continuing ed class.
I swear, this continuing ed thing has been insane. I hate dealing with them. Unfortunatley, I have to.
Neither of my professors seem to feel it was necessary to respond to my e-mail about missing class last week, so now I have to go there not knowing what they know.

sj, I'm sorry they couldn't be bothered to respond to you. I was hoping at least one of them would've replied by now. Jerks.
I really want to order the 1GB iPod Nano. I really, really do. RIGHT NOW! I just don't want to pay for it right now.
The ibuprofen I took 3 hours ago for cramps is already wearing off. THAT is most definitely uncool.
What IS cool, though, is this wine-tasting next week at the zoo! Not only do you get wine, they'll bring out animals, too (and believe me, I'm going to have to resist asking "So, does this lemur go better with a white, or a red?"), and you can get the animals drunk!
Okay, I made the last part up. But! The newspaper says that next week's tasting is at the manatee exhibit, and there will be tours of the facility that the average zoo-goer doesn't get.
Plus wine!

Sign that I need more coffee:
I read that as "Monkey situation is not *quite* as bad as I thought."

Not that that's a bad thing either.
