I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So then the semester will really end, right?

Yep.

The lamp looks pretty much like the ones on this page [link] , except maybe not so ornate as all of those. The corner part has a figure that I think is supposed to be an angel -- at any rate, it's a female figure with something that looks sort of like wings coming out of her back. I love those shades, but they're all in the several hundred dollar price range, while I'm trying to stay somewhere around $30 or so, which I think will leave me with much more plain ones. Unless I get a plain one and buy some ribbons and beads and fringe and stuff to dress it up, which might be another good procrastination exercise.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, those are great lamps, Hil.

In fact, I knew women who when they asked for tubal ligations (without having any children) were railroaded out on grounds that they were mentally unfit because they didn't want children!

OK, that's insane.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

And that means you've finished with all your school duties?

Pretty much. Turned in my portfolio, my research project, and the document where I cite specific evidence of how I'm a really good teacher (in the third person). I was going to teach until the end of May, because I don't have all the hours I need, but as it turns out they're hiring me through the end of June anyway.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Happy Mother's Day, from Mr. T!!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Have some errands to run today, then we take G's mom out to dinner tonight. Whee.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Mother's Day, from Mr. T!!

Now I want to call my mother today, just to apologize for how I dressed in the 80's.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I just sent that video to my mom. Think she'll disown me?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

West side!

I need a nap.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Jason Leopold writing for Truthout tells us that Karl Rove has informed President Bush that he is to be indicted in the CIA leak case and will resign immediately:

And here I was wondering if I should do anything beyond taking my Mom out for dinner this Mother's Day. Perfect gift!
