Debet, if you do end up looking at same-sex schools, here's a handy link: handy link, and here's another handy link: another handy link.

Zen, I don't think you're being oversensitive in your journal. The dude is in love with his own rhetoric and can't shut the fuck up. You've admitted to your opinion, yet he's still in lecture mode and totally condescending. I think you need to ban him from your lj or he'll just keep coming back.

I forgot to say

I'm getting caught up with all the DVDs I've bought over the past year or so and never took the time to watch. 'Tis fun.

I totally support this as a vital to-do item!

Watched tennis, did kettlebell (I think I'll be moving up in weights for some exercises next week), sat in the sun in a string bikini. Now, showering, more tennis, and then Crank tonight.

So, Ellen's season premiere is from Central Park (so rainy last week when they taped it!), and she just sucked up to every single person in New York, suggesting fast and slow lanes on the sidewalk.

I did manage to sweep up the dog and cat hair--but that was just because Olivia was crawling around so she's sort of like a wee, human swiffer.

So why hasn't anyone come up with disposable clothes of swiffer material for babies? You could just take it off the baby and throw it away, and both the baby and your floor would be clean.

Cookery type people:

I love ganache and dislike buttercream. It's a texture and sweetness thing. Part of me is perfectly content to only frost with ganache from here on in, since it's the food of the gods with added cream. But I was wondering if there were other frosting recipes that didn't rely on mucho sugar that I could expand to.

Totally missed the "it off" the first time. Much better now.

Heh. Would I get to borrow a baby for BabySwiffer? Cause I'd be down with that. Though I just cleaned Saturday, so I can wait a little while for the invention of it.

AND, I just walked to get coffee, and stopped at the laundromat, and got quarters! I have no intention of doing laundry at that place, as I'd have to haul the clothes there, and it's MORE expensive than downstairs in my building, but yay, source of quarters! Of course, now I have ot get up the energy to actually DO the laundry...

What, precisely, is ganache?

I tend to frost cakes, these days, with whipped cream. Just take the cream, add a tiny tiny bit of powdered sugar, maybe some cocoa powder, or food coloring, or liquor, and then whip it up. The people at work love it!

Sail, thanks. I appreciate an objective viewpoint. I've read that guy's LJ, and he's most always like that: pompous and "in love with his own rhetoric", as you so aptly put it.
