Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Tuesdays are good. Or goodish! We could go have Oaxacan!
Grace looks like she's doing awesome.
Thanks... she does. I mean for an impossibly sick child she is actually pretty sturdy, strong and healthy.
She's so pretty.
Thank you! I love the hair growing back in. She had a buddha thing going for a while.
Binky attached to hand-holdable stuffed animal is brilliant!
Genius! She looks so thoughtful there.
Kat, I have a mentee who's interning at my school this year and teaching one class. She's really interested in UCLA's graduate education program and asked me if I knew anyone who was familiar with the program. I know that you're beyond swamped right now, so I don't want to impose on you, but do you know anyone who could give her the inside scoop? She's thinking about applying for next year. Thanks!
ETA: OH! Such cute pictures!!
We could go have Oaxacan!
Mmm, yes! I love that place.
Kristin, tell her not to! UCLA is much better at hoity-toity theory than at the practice of teaching. Also, they have a thing about only letting teachers teach in their second year at about 70 or schools approved by them because of their focus on "social justice" (this is all from me and I went through their teacher ed program).
Better programs are Mount St. Marys (so much more practical and less theory laden -- and I've taken at least one class there) and Northridge. We have a student teacher from Pepperdine and he likes their program, but I know nothing about it. I just know that MSM and CSUN would be cheaper.
Oh excellent, thank you!
Which Oaxacan place do you prefer? The one on Gateway/Ocean park, or the one in the same lot as TJ's.
I took the bus into work today. Took as much time as driving in. Even though I have a cab company's number on me, I still feel naked in public.
I assumed she meant Guelaguetza, the place on Palms. There are several others in the neighborhood as well (including the other one you note and a good one on Washington and Inglewood).
Burrell is right.
Think of it, ita, goat!
Not pie [...] To me they're all pies.
#1 and #3 were definitely not pies, to my eye. (#1 was some weird kind of frittata, and #3 was just a misshapen tiramisu.)
#2 I guess would qualify as a pie, for lack of anything else to call it. So, basically, cookie-crust pies are the exception that prove the rule.
Shepherd's pie is called pie, but that's definitely not a pie by anybody's definition. Right?
In sum: pie pie pie. The word has lost all meaning.
