Kat, it's amazing. A true bright spot in my life; I love it there.

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
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.
