It looked like popcorn, not a tooth.

Thus she did not eat it.

Well, the guy was a schmuck, and she was cool and had a nice singing voice.

And she was Beau.Ti.Ful. Like woah!

Bride & Prejudice is quite good, although not as good as I'd hoped. The writers? Really not Jane Austen. And the parallels they draw don't hold very well, in some cases, imho - I mean, the Miss Bingley character was quite nice, I thought, and Lizzy was a bit of a stroppy cow. But she was v. pretty. And there were some v. funny bits.

Meanwhile, in mememe news - isn't Last dot fm a splendid thing? I'm most impressed. Go Team Interpipe! I tell it my favourite artist is Eddi Reader and it armed with this information it provides me with a lplaylist of a load of people I haven't heard of whom it thinks I may enjoy! My own personal radio station! Good Job, Computery Thing!

That sounds very cool.

(I'm still awake. It's 3:16. I teach at 9:35, but I've really got to be at my office by 8:30 to get some work done before teaching. I am so totally not falling asleep at all.)

Meep! Go sleep! Choose sleep! Perhaps a warm milky beverage might help?

(And, yes, last.fm is a Jolly Good Thing, it turns out. Props to my colleague who told me about it the other day because he'd noticed how I'm constantly hooked up to my iPod.)

Hmm. I have decaf tea, and I have soy milk. That might make a milky-type beverage. I'm not positive I have a clean mug, though.

I think it's partially that I've been sitting down all day and just haven't done anything that would get me tired. Also possibly that I was reading a spy novel when I went to bed, and reading through several scenes of torture and shoot-outs and heavy-handed attempts at moralizing wasn't exactly the best thing to put me to sleep.

Is it unusual for an 11 year old to be unable to swallow pills?

No. My brother, Ben, actually, had a terrible time and still does.

Pills I can take like a pro--liquids not so much. Cough syrup=Hell

I, on the other hand, am Robin in this. I hated the liquid so much that I started swallowing pills at around 5. Mom and dad would cut adult pills for me so I didn’t have to take the liquids. They’d make me gag and puke, so mom really liked to try to avoid that.

Oh, Aimee! That’s freaky. So glad she didn’t eat it! Poor Cindy!!!!

In mememememe news, my migraine finally broke at about 3 a.m. I feel so hung over on meds, and today is my long day at school. Blech. I’m up. I have coffee. Hopefully all will be well.

Bleh. OK, I'm dressed and about to go out and brave the cold. (I'm wearing a fuzzy sweater, because, in addition to it being 11 degrees outside, for some reason the "heating" vents in my office are pumping in cold air.) Probably a Starbuck's stop on the way will be a good idea. I think I'm going on about four hours of sleep, if that.

I need some jobma. I don't want to say what's going on but strong vibes heading this way would be appreciated.

Oh Cindy, what an ordeal.

I couldn't swallow pills until sometime right around age 11, maybe a bit later.

I would like to point out that a FREAKING CRANE fell across the FREAKING 405 and it took GC 45 minutes to go 10 miles. It rained here today, and the bus/metro went on strike, and it took me 45 minutes to go 3.5 miles.

Although the LA change was worse, because I think it usually takes 8 minutes to go 10 miles, and it usually takes me 20 minutes to go 3.5.

Neat day yesterday - The first-time moms who are also working mothers (all four of us) had a playgroup, and it was actually really cool to hang out with like people. Mal had a great time and has a girlfriend (the little pumpkin in the Halloween photos)...when he arrived, she ran over and hugged and kissed him. He was nonplussed. But then, when we left, he went and hugged and kissed her goodbye.

Sometimes I have trouble swallowing big pills (like the new ones I've been taking). One thing I do is drink some water before I try to swallow the pill, I think it's harder to swallow if my mouth is a little dry.
