Saffron: But we've been wed. Aren't we to become one flesh? Mal: Well, no, uh... We're still two fleshes here, and I think that your flesh ought to sleep somewhere else.

Natter 54: Right here, dammit.

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

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.

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....

When I got up this morning, it was dark.

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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Tell her that she just needs to get in the zone. Sleep well the night before.

In my experience, this has always been more important to me than the actual studying.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have gotten no calls or emails from my boss today. That's very odd, especially given that my counterpart (her favorite) is also out of the office today. Not that I'm complaining!

e-Doctor? Think Netflix for medicine. Brilliant idea or insane?

Okay, teaching vo-tech classes is the best-kept secret in teaching. This rocks! They do stuff, and I wander around and help. That's the thing I'm good at!

I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but that guy has a billiant PR machine.
