I don't have a lot of "hanging out" friends in LA (sometimes because of working opposite schedules), which bums me out sometimes. But I have so many good people in my life that I feel very lucky.
Change that to FL and you have described my life.
Also, I'm so sorry that you're dealing with such obnoxiousness about your (very important!) work.
Thank you so much. It helps to know there are people out there that understand and think my job has value.
almost forgot, my local NPR is doing a giveaway for a Macbook Air today. So I gave a little booster cash to my membership so I could be entered into the drawing. :: crosses fingers ::
My cousin's oldest son (I think he's 10) just got his own e-mail address, and he has taken to e-mailing me to tell me I should come visit and asking how school is going and stuff. It's so adorable.
I just got an email that another grad student and I are co-winners of our department's outstanding grad student prize this year! Email says,
More important than the cash award that goes with this prize is the recognition that it represents; also, this is a very nice item to have on your CV when you apply for jobs.
No mention of how much the cash prize is, though.
glad to see you home omnis
I have no idea what blueberry coffee should taste like
yay for good train day
Hil, that's fantastic! Go you!

Oh, it's about my favorite thing ever. It's like eating a blueberry muffin with your coffee, only there's no actual blueberry muffin.
That's great, Hil!
So "Eat a muffin, whitey" even applies to coffee?
YAY HIL!!!
So "Eat a muffin, whitey" even applies to coffee?
I believe Denis Leary covered this in Lock 'n' Load:
Did I miss a fucking meeting with the coffee? You can get every other flavor except COFFEE FLAVORED COFFEE! They got mochaccino, they've got chococcino, frapaccino, capaccino, rapaccino, Al Pacino, WHAT THE FUCK!
IIRC, "eat a muffin, whitey"
originally
applied to coffee -- it's not about whitey liking muffins, but about whitey liking muffins so very much that whitey wants to make everything else taste just like a muffin.
