Secret message to Polgara: The apartment has not burnt down.
Okay--I have 14mg of dilaudid somewhere in my system mating with the morphine. I'm going to have a lie down.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

WOOT! I got a job for the next school year. At a new high school. Two blocks from home!
Awesome, Kat! And a commute that can't be beat!
So, you're telling me with all this earthquake stuff that I left Indiana JUST IN TIME to miss the only exciting thing that's happened there all week? Grrrrreat.
Also: if you have four different twenty page documents to tell me how to login and change my password for the first time, perhaps your system needs to be made MORE SIMPLE?
Also, did not manage to get actual work done because of dealing with this ridiculousness. AAAAGH.

How does one cite a press release from a web site?
Allyson, I don't know what general style you have to follow, but this is how we do it in our journal:
Name of people/group/etc. Press release title. URL. Date accessed.
So, something like:
American Medical Association. Eating lots of chocolate every day will increase longevity. www. ama-this-is-not really their address.com (accessed 2008 Apr 18).

Congrats Scola!
Congrats Kat!
Happy Birthday beth!
I love bowling. That was a regular outing in MSP. I kinda miss that.
Name. The. Day. But, be forewarned, my bowling is as good as my pool.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Definitely up for some bowling in Madison.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
It's not David's friend Phil, but this interview with Phil Gordon is pretty awesome.
If I had to guess, I would say about 50 percent of the “name pros” you see on television on a regular basis have a negative net worth. Frightening, I know.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
This is the longest week ever. I have accomplished nothing today and had nothing to accomplish today and yet I am still here at work and cannot leave.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
It's not David's friend Phil, but this interview with Phil Gordon is pretty awesome.
Sheesh. How many Phils are there? In that article, there are Gordon, Laak, Hellmuth, Ivey, Gallfond.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wow, congratulations Kat, that's great.
I really miss teaching literature. I mean, I love teaching the cultural stuff I teach, especially when students really do begin to open their eyes, and I love the health sciences. But sometimes I miss the literature.

Well, it's two blocks in terms of big blocks. Like Vegas sized blocks. It's about a mile. It would be about a 20-25 minute walk or a 8 minute bike ride.
I just sent an email to the two current AP Lit teachers (both PhD...no, I'm not intimidated by them at all ...) asking for their course outlines. Let me know when you have some time to meet. Maybe lunch this weekend?
Kristin, tomorrow is all screwed up. But if you have time Sunday, that should work.
