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

Hivemind question: Anyone have any suggestions for a relatively inexpensive hotel near the conference center in Monterey? It looks like I may be going there to a conference in October. There are two conference hotels, the Portola Plaza Hotel and the Marriott Monterey, but they are OMG expensive. If I end up one of them, it's probably ok, but I think my odds of getting the travel approved might be greater if I could find someplace closer to $100 than $200.

Last time I was in Monterey I stayed at the La Quinta for around $100/night. It's a long walk (lie, a couple of hours, at least at my walking speed) to downtown, but I think it's on or near the tram line.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They're so cute, and they match a new outfit I got there perfectly (brown A-line skirt and plum t-shirt), and I ended up wearing it to officiate at my brother's wedding omg.
OMG is right. It sounds like a great and difficult trip. Is it actually a Chinese curse to say "may you live in interesting times"? Because it sounds like an interesting trip.
Kat, it sounds like you did what you could, and it sounds like the people at the school suck if they said she didn't get in because of your letter.
I am full of free food and wine and still got home in time to get my eyebrows waxed! AWESOME.

I'm in 3" heels, a skirt past my ankles, and I have a gimpy hand. I also have a flat tyre and am waiting in a gas station parking lot for AAA. Oh, and missing the class for which I just created a lesson plan.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Oh, ita, that sucks. Hope the AAA gets there soon.

Hebrew National hot dogs tells me that the back half of the cow is nonkosher. If they are accurate, what's the explanation? Too close to the poop parts?
I hope your parents ultimately come to remember the China trip fondly. There were a lot of things so fucked up during my Africa trip, but I pretty much dismiss them now. Though I really wish I hadn't gotten the worst pms emotional storm of my life the day of the eclipse. That still embarrasses me, though not much I could've done about it short of locking myself in a cave.

ita, good lord. I hope you evening improves by leaps and bounds.

That sucks, ita. May they get there soon.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

As I understand it, it's basically a practicality thing: To be considered kosher, all the veins, sinews, certain large nerves, and I think some other stuff have to be removed from the meat, all under the proper sort of supervision. There's a lot more of that stuff to be stripped out from the hindquarters, so big producers like HN sell off those parts -- but it's not like shellfish or pork, where it can't be kosher no matter how carefully and expensively you handle it.
