Mayor ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Me + New Air Conditioner = OTP.
(The one we had last year was way too small for this room, and incredibly loud. The new one is nice and quite, has an EER of 10.7, 8000 BTU, and a remote control, for enhanced laziness. LOVE.)
And as a bonus, the little one can now go into the bedroom, for which it is the perfect size. Last summer neither of us got any sleep at all, not having an A/C in there.
I think I may try for a World's Record in nappinng today.
Not a chance in hell, I'm afraid. I've gone back to bed twice so far today.
Emphasis on the "so far".
Re: the name Shiloh Nouvel (Nouvel?) - Shiloh is okay. Although I think of it as more of a horse or dog name, but Nouvel?
One of my students thinks Archimedes is from New York.
Emily, add 17.5 points to everyone's grade on the assignment.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SEAN!!!
Perhaps Nouvel is a family name? We do that with family surnames in my family, so we have middle names like Campbell, Warren, Nugent and Blake.

Er, actually I'm trying to figure out what to take points off for, other than formatting -- although, good Lord, how hard is "typed, double spaced, 12 point font, title and reference pages"? Most of them, no title/ref page. One of them has both of those, but is handwritten. Another, one single-spaced paragraph. These are seniors -- they've never had to type a paper before?
I thought the Governor of Namibia was naming the Brangelina baby?
Archimedes was from Syracuse. It's almost undrstandable how your student could be confused.
Oh Robin, we've had a two-seater swing like that on our deck from spring through fall for the last three years. Last year, the wind caught the canopy and hopped the whole unit over the front railing to the ground a story below. We're having freak windbursts, because it's nearly happened several times since then, and since we're not always home when a storm comes up, we've had to take the canopy off more or less permanently.
Now, however, the windbursts have gotten more freaky and stronger--they're catching the swing seats and dragging the unit around the deck. I miss my canopy shade, especially now that the temperature has soared.
But before we had our freakish winds, the swing was the best thing, ever. I know you'll enjoy yours.
