I love that ad, sumi. I am easily amused and it cracks me up.
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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.

The status is NOT quo.
Kat, my mentee asked me to pass along her thanks for your advice about local grad educational programs. She's looking into CSUN's program since they have an English specialty. So thanks!

YAY! Glad I could be helpful. CSUN has a rep as being actually practical. My friend supervises elem teachers there and another friend works at the high school that is a charter roughly related to it (NAHS... Northridge something High School).

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
It's really rather horrible how dogs have discovered our vulnerability to the Cute.
There's a theory that we're hardwired to see immature traits such as proportionally larger feet, heads and eyes, as something to take care of, presumably so that babies don't look like lunch. Many dog breeds were created from breeding for immature traits, because they're what we're programmed to think of as cute.

Kat - was it you that had offered K-Bug some SAT type advice? She is retaking on Saturday and starting to stress over it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah, that all makes sense.
Also, pet owners tend to have a slightly longer life-expectancy. So in a sense, dogs and cats are breeding us to like dogs and cats....
eta: IMO, a cool symbiotic relationship....

I have spent the past 3 hours with the VIP and it was fine. I probably still have a job. Heh.

SuziQ, probably. I have plenty of SAT advice. Tell her that she just needs to get in the zone. Sleep well the night before. And to plan before she writes. Make sure she hits all pieces of the prompt and to have some generic anecdotes taht will work as proof.

Dude. I figured "OK, I'm going to bed at a decent hour, and I'm on east coast time, this should be a snap to get up early and get back in the employee groove!" But I woke up at 6:30AM and it was STILL DARK, so I went back to sleep.
