So how long DOES it take to get from Cairo to the border?
I'm sorry, I have no idea.
Work's done. Weekend starts. Verti-Marte just began to play in my winamp.
Rest, blessed rest. Soon you'll be mine.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Um, Allyson, they are fans of your chapter in your book, which is about not just me, but also you, and all of this community. I'd say they're fans of b.org.
Shir, yay! Have a great weekend+holiday,

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Real, actual Burger King porn (from BK Amsterdam):
I came across this post "Burger King has a bad taste ...." on Digital Frog, a dutch photographer's blog. It's a photo he says of a tray liner his son got in an Amersterdam Burger King.
The trayliner depicts the airport-style high security Burger King uses to ensure that only the top ingredients are used. Images include a scared Onion with his trousers down around his ankles while a fierce-looking Pickle guard with a latex glove, prepares to digitally examine him! Scattered about him from his open luggage are veggie porn mags!
Sounds like it's not a hoax. Pretty-much work-safe, I guess....

Emily, I have 2 long gauzy skirts I bought for the Ethiopia trip, as well as a long denim skirt which if we are similar sized, youa re welcome to (I can mail them tomorrow, seriously). I wore cotton long sleeved tees, but it was Dec, not June.

I've got to go to a seminar this afternoon on the new computerized grading system the department is going to start using. I hope it's better than the 45 minute talk on how to use the new copier that we got a few years ago.

msbelle, you're great.
Emily, make sure to have a good light wide-brimmed (is that how you say it?) hat, for walking outside.

Cairo sounds exciting! Mr. Jane and I are thinking India later this year. Not a place I had on my list, but the tickets are on his boss, so...

One of my friends is moving to Cairo at the end of the summer. It all sounds really exciting.

So I tell my mom to come later in the week for a visit, because I'm guaranteed to be tied up the first half. So they are coming on a tuesday. Sigh.
