Still, I'd go with nausea today than yellow fever in a month. Personally speaking.

Morning Cindy!

SA, I did take the teaching gig. I'm finishing up my Masters stuff, 2 papers. I need another source or two, and I'm to minimum page limit. It needs to get sent out today. I think I'll likely be doing a fair bit of staring uncomprehendingly at my students or snarking the Hell out of them today, even if I try not to.

People need to stop feeling (physically) bad. Particularly people I know. Hopefully it will get better sooner rather than later.

SA speaks the truth. still I am whiny first world problems girl.

Absolutely, SA. Still. Ick. It's just such a Hobson's choice. A woman is expecting a child, but is not pregnant, and yet has to endure all these attacks on her bod.

Huh. Friday.

I have 15 minutes to put on some clothes and go catch my train....

Huh. Friday....

jesse, I've had fabulous luck with clothing from the J.Peterman catalog in the past. I say e-mail them and ask about their return policy, and then order the dress.

Ooh, good to know. Thanks, Jilli!

Sorry you're hurty, msbelle.

Why not this one, Lee??

Aw. I'm sure they will cut you some slack. Or if they don't you can teach by example the finer points of exhausted snarking.

It's like a test! Like an Indiana Jones with the snakes kind of test, only with a baby at the end of it. The baby is Moses' stone tablets.

Or something.

Yaye for Friday! Lamely, I don't really have plans. I'm hoping Jars rings up but stuff happens, yannow, especially if you travel. But, I've got NCIS and Criminal Minds and two episodes of the daily show waiting for me when I get home, PLUS the premiere of Supernatural waiting to be downloaded, so I won't exactly be wanting for entertainment.

If somewhat wants to send me a friendly threatening email tomorrow telling me to get off my ass and write my application to teach in Japan, though, it wouldn't go unappreciated.

Cindy, I watched the third-season premiere of Veronica Mars the other day, and while I really enjoyed it (as I always do! plus I really love the remixed opener), was it ever explained how she ended up at Hearst, either in the premiere or last season? I can't wait to keep watching.

SA - no, I don't think it was.

(Although, perhaps Keith got a big enough fee for creating the Kendall escape plan that they could afford it.)

Hey, SA -- maybe you can help me with a little Irish/American translation. "Vest" and "tank top" are reversed here to there, right? So a vest is underwear and a tank top is a sweater? Because otherwise, I'm terrified of what the guy in my book is actually wearing.

What do they call a sweater vest?

I was wondering where the term "tank top" came from, so I googled:

The term is also used in Australian English, although the term singlet is more common in Australia. In British English, the term vest is used, while "tank top" refers to a sleeveless pullover. In India, such a vest, primarily designed to be an undershirt, is called a baniyaan. The name derives from its resemblance to a tank suit, a style of one-piece women's swimsuit with shoulder straps. "Tank suit" in turn refers to "swimming tank," an obsolete term for what are now called "swimming pools."
