And, also, WRT Oprah....Jake is pretty charming. Even if he did knock out Peter Sarsgaard.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
The Baltimore school system is....fucked up. There was one super in recent years who is hiding out in Florida now. Or was. Not sure if she got charged or what. Then there was the year the teachers got to vote on whether to take a 10% layoff, 10 day furlough for all staff or...I think it was a pay cut. And someone has been embezzling lately. I think. I'm a little fuzzy on the details. That's not even counting the sorry state of the physical infrastructure.
The romans reclined during their food orgies. They also puked, but I don't think you are interested in going there. At least, that's what they taught us in sixth grade.
All gods help me. I got sarameg's last post.
Cup of tea, ita? Black if you can take it without milk.

It is done. I will claim Gus as my inspiration.
Yay, Kat! How are you?
I'm great, kat, thanks for asking. how are you doing? how's your family?
Vomitorium!
They've injected long-acting painkillers into my nerves.
That sounds like an excellent thing. Hooray for killing pain.
I finally saw the US Cash Cab -- good fucking times. It makes me want to take cabs more, just in case.
how are you doing? how's your family?
I am good. My job is trying to kill me with the crazy. Did you know 9 out of 10 graduate education department faculty members are completely bonkers? And it's only heightend when going through NCATE accreditation. I did not know this, but I do now. So sad.
The family is good. My folks are turning into traveling machines. I think they are trying to cover all of the Southwest. By the end of this week.
How are you and Lori?
US Cash Cab
What? The only thing I ever get from a cab ride is the remnants of funky feet.
Cash Cab is a game show of a guy driving a cab, and the people who hail him are the contestants! You answer questions for money until you get where you're going, or you get three strikes, whichever comes first.
