Anyone else go through a phase when the names "Bigwig", "Fiver" and "Hazel" seemed perfectly acceptable for kids' names? No? Just me...?
Now that's just crazy talk -- those are nicknames! (Thlayli and Hrairoo, on the other hand...)
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Spike's Bitches 34: They're All Slime and Antlers
[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I'm really excited about the possibility of this grad school experience.
I was so excited when I saw Breadloaf, because we have Breadloaf here in Juneau, but alas, apparently ours is not one of the campuses for the degree. I guess we're special. pouts.
GAH. Went from the EDS site to a keloid site and HMOG, I need to remember that I have a medical squick and not Google anything that might trip that. Oy.
Don't go to netanatomy.com, ita. I thought it was going to have drawings or something. May plastic models. I was so, very wrong, and now understand that there was more to me deciding not to be a pediatrician than not being great at math or science.

Kristin, the grad school stuff sounds terrific!
Campuses (at which I will spend at least one summer each): Middlebury, VT (main campus); Santa Fe, NM; Asheville, NC; and Oxford, England!
If you want some mini-F2Fing give the NC Buffistae a heads up when the Asheville one's due. And I am so envious about the Oxford summer!

The status is NOT quo.
SO excited about Kristin's English programme. Yay for her having to study along with the rest of us...
Ha! Like I don't study all the time right now! Every time I teach a new book, I have to study my ass off about the history, culture, author, etc. in order to teach it. Seriously, I am so excited to only be responsible for my own work, I can't even tell you.
And thanks everyone! Now here's hoping I actually get IN.

Our wings are not tired.
Ha! Like I don't study all the time right now!
Yeah, I know, but now you can join the other side once again and be graded.
You'll get in. They want the best, don't they??

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Why are you so stupid, stupid day?
Hee! That *was* me! Cookie for Lee, and I'm glad I was able to do something to bring a smile to your face, Kristin.

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
Ack! I forgot to send Robin lots of ~ma. I hope the fibroid issue is fixed in the least invasive way possible.

Let us know how he does, OK?

Awesome. I can't wait to be the gradee rather than the grader.
ETA: Oh Beej! I hope Bartlby is okay!
