Kat, it's amazing. A true bright spot in my life; I love it there.
How is school(s) going for you?
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

I am proud to say that I made it to the grocery store today. Now I have chocolate and beer and fresh fruit and veg.
And tofu. It doesn't take very much tofu to make pad thai, which is what I had for dinner. What the hell do I make with the rest of this tofu?

I really like the way The Unit tells a story. Maybe I'm a sucker, but I do.

glad things are good!
I am enjoying my course load this year and my students are interesting. But I've been sick off and on and am missing a lot of school (when I finally go back, I'll have been out for 2 weeks) so my kids are all adrift.
Grad school? oof. Victorian lit, while easier than Chaucer, not my bag. And Chaucer in Middle English just makes me feel stupid.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Man, now I'm totally sucked into that damn Funny Farm thing, and don't feel like going to bed, and will watch Nip/Tuck, even though I have to get up early tomorrow! I am Teh Lame.

What the hell do I make with the rest of this tofu?
I'm serious on this: cut it into slices that are maybe 1/2 inch thick at the most; wrap each slice in plastic wrap; freeze the slices overnight; next day, unwrap the slices and press them between paper towels to get any additional moisture out (the freezing will have removeda good bit of the moisture); then fling the slices in a baking dish, dump BBQ sauce (or any sauce you desire) on top, and bake at 400-ish for 25-30 minutes.
The result has the texture of chicken, and BBQ sauce (which is my only experience with this recipe) has such a strong flavor that that's all you taste. So it's like baked chicken.

There's a restaurant here called Crack Pot. Seems their specialty is crab cakes (ew!) Spokesman is the most grey personality ever.

how do Buffistas feel about the use of "hopefully" as a sentence adverb?
I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.
Lee is me in this. You would think that I, being a Professional Editor of Stuff, would (a) remember that using "hopefully" like that is wrong, and (b) care. I don't. This is what happens when you spend too long editing for the Evil Empire. Grammar? Don't care! Just let the docs validate and check in.
Oh, and msbelle, while I know it's not quite your thing, if you decide Mac needs some custom-designed Gothic Charm School apparel, let me know.

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

Hee, hee.
Kat, I'm just in a dangerous mood. While that may seem kravlike, it's only a plus if I am doing it in the street. At the centre, someone may very well get hurt.
Friday morning it is.
Quester, I'm not sure I manage money the best, so I can't give advice from my own experience. I've heard great things about Motley Fool. Start with Fool's School. Also have a look at about.com's money section--they have a bit on personal finance.
