"We'd more than likely waive the student loan completely."
That would be great, Connie, but there's usually one catch: the amount waived is reported as income.
He doesn't travel well. He's like fine shrimp.

Spike's Bitches 33: Weeping, crawling, blaming everybody else
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Really? Well, it's only (only) about $16,000, and I'm willing to take a one-time hit for having that damned thing no longer hanging around our neck.

I am off to get my hair colored and cut by someone I have never been to before. Wish me pretty hair.

So, for those of you David Tennant and/or Brian Blessed fans, here's the link to the video of the Virgin Radio pantomime. It's stupid & fun and worth it to see Tennant's face when Blessed utters the word "shite" on live radio.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Can I ask for some Lilo~Ma?? ND & K are gonna look around DisneyWorld to see if they can find one for Em since eBayer seems to be all sorts of dumb. Grrrr.
(Very silly, I know. But it's something Em will just love to death.)

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
some people have asked me why I'd leave a top-ten university for a not-even-close-to-top-ten university!
Lemme at 'em. Nobody maligns my school. Status isn't everything. Some of us would rather not graduate with knives in our backs.
Edit: Lilo~ma for Aimée.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
At my new university, they give bonuses. I've never heard of a university doing that. Also, I tried to call there today and was told that the U President had decided to shut down a day early, so everyone got extra time off. And some people have asked me why I'd leave a top-ten university for a not-even-close-to-top-ten university!
Dude, can I leave a top-ten university for there too?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Which school are you going to be working at, Sparky? (Preceding conversation could describe either of two schools, I think.) (If you don't want to say on the board, no problem.)
