P-C, I'd look at consolidating. My student loan was somewhere in the 4% range, but when I took out a Parent Plus loan for my daughter that loan was in the 7% range. I was able to consolidate the second loan with the first loan and get a 4.75% interest rate on the total. You can really save some money that way.
Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
PC, I will second what Fred Pete says, right across the board.

Because books.
Anne, you rassenfrassen Cardinals fan congratulations! I am incredibly sad this morning, but hey, you can't win if you don't fucking hit the ball.

Welcome back FP! I'm glad you had such a great time in Amsterdam. I knew you would!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Oh, we did, SA! Plus a one-day excursion into Belgium. (Though the train trip to Alkmaar was interesting, not least because tracks were closed because of an accident, and we couldn't take a direct route.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
And you seriously can't beat crepes with nutella made right in front of you while it's snowing.
I think I just had an orgasm. Mmmm.
Even with the drug induced nap yesterday, I slept last night and feel much more human today. At least so far.
Fiscal responsibility is a good thing. Maybe one day it will be a concept I understand better.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Also, now I want a Pumpkin Latte.
Me too! Which is precisely why I drifted into a Starbucks just now. But they're not doing the Pumpkin Spice Latte anymore, afaik - it was a short time flavour-of-the-month thing (my friend, when I was saying how yummy it was, could NOT get over her revulsion. Try substituting the word zucchini for pumpkin to get a sense of the sheer fucking randomness of that flavour, from a nonUSAian perspective). Which means that I stared blearily at the array of things on offer, realised I didn't really want any of them, and that buying a latte, after 4 espresso Martinis and two pints of Diet Coke, might be suicide, and instead purchased a hazelnut hot chocolate.
Except that these days I have a really hard time drinking sugar. It makes me feel headachy and nauseated quite quickly. (Thus the whole Pumpkin-Spice-Latte - drinking-experience normally goes yum yum yum yum oh shit bleagh!)
Hmph. Am idiot. Also a trifle wellied and jittery. Also typing this from school, as I ducked into the building on the way home from the pub to make shameless use of the internet, and to avoid the get-into-a-cab-and-spill-molten-chocolate-on-self experience.
Hmph.
Have spent the past 5 hours in pub with NotDavidHewlett and Mrs NotDavidHewlett (who is fucking lovely) and a couple of other coworkers. Continue to have moderate (and quite different) crushes on NDH and Mrs NDH.
Sigh.
Possibly I need to get out more.
