Heck, I think, "No one suffered serious injury!" is a serious accomplishment in some classrooms.

In my tutoring seminar yesterday, my prof was reporting on our first tutoring logs. Her first remark was, “Just so you know, no one has ever died while tutoring or being tutored, so you can all start breathing again.”

Oh, Ginger. I’m so sorry, you. Strength to you.

So now I'm just waiting for him to be done and call me and tell me that everything is all right. I'm just impatient and a wee bit massively stressed.

I don’t blame you one bit. Strength to you too.

It's gray and cold outside, so I don't particularly want to go outside either.

Shall I come steal you for a coffee trip at 1 or 1:30? I’m at school till 12:30, and I don’t have to be at therapy till 3, so I’ve got some time and would love a coffee break with you!

My last class was A for Adorable. They made me all proud and shit.

Sneak off to a bar?

Christ, I wish. (eyes CBC from not-to-afar)

Shall I come steal you for a coffee trip at 1 or 1:30?

Sure, that sounds good! I will email you my work #, so that you can call me when you're approaching? Where shall we meet? There's a Starbucks in the Marriott lobby, the ABP, or the Cosi...?

Do you need to eat too? I'm eating lunch right now, so I won't need food, but if you need food, we can go to a more foodie place. If you don't have a preference, I prefer the yummies at ABP.

And yay! I will call when I'm getting on the T at MGH. I'm gonna park over there, so I don't have to pay for parking twice.

ETA: Nebbermind. Taken to e-mail.

The bathroom stuff looks amazing, GC! We are going to redo ours eventually and I LOVE what you picked. Wonderful colors.

My goodness, I'm a real expert at talking myself out of things I don't want to do. It's amazing!

Are you avoiding Spanish again?

Oh, wait. That's me.

Oooh, new kitchen! Pictures?

The plan to redo it was just hatched last week after my friend took up the ugly ass tile. We were trying to figure out if he'd just redo the wood floor or put a new floor down on top and that led to Whole New Kitchen plan! But he can't do it until February.

I bought a laptop off of eBay and it should be delivered today. I'm very excited. It runs Win98, but I'm very familiar with that program and it's a sturdy workhorse. And the laptops designed for it are cheap.

Does hollow ground mean the same as hollow edge?

Yes - you can see a whole bunch of different knife styles here - some say "hollow ground edge" some just "hollow edge" etc etc, but they're all referring to the same style of blade.

I use my santoku knife for all kinds of slicing, chopping, mincing and dicing. I like the way the gently curved blade rocks on the cutting board.
