I just caught a Nancy Giles on CBS complaining that women are naked too much. Does she have a rep? Is she a prude? I mean, the answer to why is "There's a paying audience." She seemed to think it was icky, but most importantly wasn't advocating more male nudity.

Nilly! I hope it goes well.

Happy birthday, Kristin!

Good luck with the date, Nilly. I was actually just talking about you and dating the other night, in a kind of cultural comparison conversation.

Good luck getting to work, Tom and bon bon! I have to HAVE TO do a lot of work today, but I'm not going anywhere. Well, I guess I'll have to go for a walk to see the snow, but that's about it.

I can't stop playing Bejeweled--I'll be hearing "Go!" and "Level Up!" in my sleep.

Trijinx was my problem last night -- I totally woke up thinking about it. SO BAD.

Happy birthday, Kristin!

What kinds of math?

Pre-Calculus. Graphing, lines, slopes, etc.

Have fun on the date, Nilly!

Hope the date goes well, Nilly.

We've got some snow here, but not much. Maybe 6 inches or so? I'm going to go get lunch, then I'm meeting a friend to study.

Someone gets to go out on a date with Nilly? Lucky them!

ball lightning appeared in the kitchen right over our heads

Wow, you're the first person I know who actually saw a ball lightning and didn't create it (well, something similar to it, probably) on their own in the microwave, like my brother and me. Cool.

Thanks for the good-luck wishes. I go to a blind date with the sole purpose of meeting somebody new. This way, I can't fail. If that "somebody new" is also a nice person, then I'm already on the plus side, even if the both of us never want to see each other again.

Oh, in what connection?

I still remember a talk I had here with meara once about how the dating-communities of the both of us are so similar, despite the vast differences between them.

That was rather @@. Did you see the bit on the same show where Nora Roberts called Anna Karenina a wimp and Buffy the Vampire Slayer a real kick ass character? It made me smile.

Hmm. I am watching CBS, but Dora The Explora is on. No nudity.

Oh yeah, different time zones.

Have fun on the blind date! I never had one of those.

Oh, in what connection?

I don't remember how I got into it, really, but the upshot was that finding someone you're (one is) compatible with is hard enough, without having to find that person in your own community.
