And now we know who we should have given the cake to!

Yes, anyone with overly chocolatey things, I'm your girl.

Small with big heads! I think that's the ideal for either gender. Hollywood-wise.

I have an actor friend who knows another very talented actor who has a hard time getting film and TV. And her agent told her it was because her head was too small, because in TV and film, they like disproportionatley large heads. They read well on camera.

This is what I've heard as well. And pretty much every actor I've seen in real life has fit this mold.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

As I recall, we even discussed lollipop-headedness with CFerg in Boxed Set at some point. I believe he was complaining about the fact that he costars with Sputnik-on-a-stick, who bogarts all the good lighting and throws a gigantic head-shaped shadow.

(ita assured us that Colin's own head is normal-sized.)

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I have an enormous head. Awesome.

I'm a complete ass, as well.

I scheduled a symposium that occurs during Yom Kippur next year. I feel like a heel. I should know better, you know?

Fuck. Fuck. I suck so bad. And there's nothing I can do about the dates. I'm sending out huge apologies, but seriously, I've just ensured that we'll be without Jews, and have just made my boss look like an insensitive ass.

I should just resign, now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

The krav centre doesn't officially observe any Jewish holidays. There are weeks (like last and this) where observant Jews are thin on the ground both as teachers (not that big an impact) and students (cancelled one class and came home early for Rosh Hashanah).

I hope it turns out to be not much more for you than an irritation. Certainly not resignation fodder, and I will come over there and pinch you hard if you say that again.

Alpen:

It's apparent that I know the largest actors in H'wood. Colin's over 6', and Johann's a whopping 6'4. And it looks good on both of them, even if their female leads need intermittent Scully-boxing.

You guys, thanks for the lovely words (um, I mean, worrrrrrds) upthrrrrrrrread.

paperdol, for what it's worth, people make mistakes like this all the time. Last year I ended up being scheduled to teach on a fast - granted, not Yom Kippur, of course, but the one which is probably the most minor of them all, but it was scheduled by a religious person, in a university that pays attention to the religious aspect of the calendar more than any other in Israel. And still, mistakes happen.

Will the symposium take place all day? If there's no possibility to change the date, like you said, maybe it's possible to play a bit with the hours, so that it starts late and ends late, after the end of the fast, so people can take part in at least some of it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously. I mean, unless you work at a shul or something.
