I know the first 18 lines of the prologue (as do my students!) and the prologue for chaucer's troilus. Oof. I should go work on my paper.
That's insane troll logic!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
2 good things about today.
1) my brand new iPod which was Not SO Much with the working all day (grey face, would not reset), snapped to when I plugged it in to the iBook.
2) I just found $95 in my paypal account that I had forgotten to wire to my checking account. RAWK!

Oh, House is going to do something wonderfully awful. And if anyone thinks that's a spoiler, they don't know House.

People keep saying that Sue. And i understand what you mean. But seriously? It's all a mystery.
Seriously, I remember in the beginning having about 50 pages to read for class. And it was taking about 20 minutes to get through a page with having to look up every frickin word. But towards the end, I could almost read it as were normal English.
For some reason, Gawain and the Green Knight was totally incomprehensible to me. I gave up and got a modern translation.

At the grocery store the package of meatless chicken shish kabobs looked enticing, but previous experience with tofu convinces me that chicken-flavored marshmallows are not a dish I'll enjoy.
I bought TGI Friday's spinach dip, but no chips to eat with it.
Vegetable buying went well anyway.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Oh, that goes good on crackers, bread or veggies just fine, too. Or in case of an emergency--eaten with a spoon.
Um...not that I would know about that or anything.

Also, duh, I could learn how to make miso soup, which I love and would totally eat.
1. Heat water
2. Add a Tablespoon or two of miso paste
3. Stir

I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.
I'm Lee and Jilli on this. Sometimes I do reword to avoid using it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Had to laugh at Bob's sour comment about helicopters. I've heard several variations on that theme from a number of pilots and mechanics. Wonderful, fascinating, scary, horrible machines.
I really didn't expect them to go for the happy ending like that.

If you want to be hardcore, add a tablespoon of hon-dashi per cup water before stirring in the miso paste. (It vastly improves the taste.)
