Spike's Bitches 38: Well, This Is Just...Neat.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Yay Sparky!
Hmm. Tomorrow was supposed to be my day of doing nothing except grocery shopping and laundry and other stuff like that. But I just agreed to meet with a student tomorrow morning. That's at 11:30, though, so if I set my alarm for 10, I should be OK.
Also, I just made someone fall out of her chair laughing when I tried to explain the African Hebrew Israelites to her. (I was trying for the basic explanation -- "Yeah, their beliefs sound kind of weird. But they make great vegetarian soul food. Want to go to their restaurant?" But she wanted more details.) The point that got her from incredulous to falling down laughing was their claim that the Hebrew word "ain," which is a weird sort of grammatical structure that doesn't quite translate into English, but is generally a negation sort of term -- "there isn't any" or "it's not true" or "it is not" can all be English translations, depending on the context of the sentence -- anyway, they claim that the word "ain't" is derived from "ain," and that African-Americans' use of "ain't" is proof that African-Americans are descended from the ancient Israelites and still retain pieces of their ancient language.
In my own research today, I came up with this result that I thought was really neat. Then my advisor pointed out that, while my proof of it was a fairly nice idea -- combinatorial rather than algebraic -- it was actually a known result. But I think I might be able to use the idea behind the proof to prove some other stuff.
Raar, DJ!
OK, kinda blush moment in an e-mail from a friend that moved to a new performing arts center being constructed in Santa Barbara:
Your name came up in conversation earlier today. [sound guy] of [sound consultant company] is working with us on the sound system (plus a lot more, I’m sure) and he speaks highly of you.
Here's the deal. I've never heard of the dude OR the company. Um. Flattered? Or was he just blowing smoke up my friends backside? either way, kinda made me blush (I'm so easy).
Sounds like a good day, omnis. Cupcakes and praise from unexpected quarters.
Any day with cupcakes is a good day.
ya -t, I guess so :)
Cupcakes sound nice.
My dinner was Wheat Thins again. The getting to the grocery store seemed like too much effort. Tomorrow, maybe.
mmmm choco cupcake with orange colored sugar frosting with lil chunks of black choco bits on top. Can you say SUGAR! Yiiiippeeee! (added to the rare bit of caffeine with dinner... o ya bouncing). Debating if I should eat the 2nd one or wait a bit. I'm working till midnight, but if I let them be, they'll dry out over night, and that would be a sin to waste.
Dang, y'all dress up nice. Ahem.
Spider Girl was hilarious all sugared up on mochas a blue lollipop. Very cute.
Tomorrow I might stop by the grocery store and pick up candy. Should be on sale!
