Cut your losses, sell the FBs to someone who they'll fit, and stock up on things either aplix or side-snapping, because HOLY CARP, when they hit a year, they squirm like trapped ninjas!

Thanks, Plei! (I'm way behind here, but I'm already eyeing some bGs on eBay.)

ita, that trick always makes me snarl "Just write the damn scene!." It just screams laziness to me, to cut away for "effect" instead of actually writing the words.

ita lied. There was no money, sex, or chocolate for me this morning, and my throat still hurts.

Did it bother you on Buffy, Jessica?

God was nicer during the Webvan era.

If you slouch while sitting on a balance ball, you wobble alarmingly and possibly fall over. You have to sit up straight. I lurves my balance ball.

I can slouch on a balance ball. I do it all the time. It must be my superpower. I can even slouch with a cat on my lap on a balance ball. Behold my lousy posture!

I'm with Liese on the Richardson thing. Nothing I've heard about him from my parents impresses me a whit. Dad's alway very cranky after he has to schmooze him (poor dad got pushed into the role of defacto lobbyist for his project when the university bobbled it. Man, that was cranky!dad at his worst.)

Yeah, I had trouble peeling it. Any tricks?

One of those neat apple-corer-peeling thingies?

Webvan might still be in business if they had the "sex" option.

And during the dot-com boom, I might have gotten VC funding for a company whose business plan was to bring money to people.

Did it bother you on Buffy, Jessica?

I don't remember, honestly. I think it did, but that might just be in retrospect/on principle.

Ooh. I have one of those. I need to remember these things when I'm struggling in the kitchen.

t Skipping so much I don't even want to look at the number of skipped posts

I have a moral obligation to post at this very hour. On Monday, on 11:50, the lecturer of the class I TA this semester called me out of a lecture I had to listen to, and asked me if I could teach something, anything, instead of him, on his lecture that was supposed to start on 12:00. I agreed, I even already had some stuff prepared, I ran to get them, they weren't enough, I improvised some more, I managed to convice the class that they're not going to lose anything from the switch.

So now he was nice and said that he'd cover today's TAing lesson by another lecture, instead of hte one I gave on Monday. So now I have to play online, on the very hour I was supposed to stand in front of students and talk about eigenvectors. So, see, I have to post now.

How's everybody doing? It seems like forever since I last Nattered. [Edit: or is it Natterred? How do you verbify that?]
