Cashmere, how's the computer?

It's working this morning. I want to try the video chat feature and see if it works. DH wasn't very accommodating taking care of the kids and I had them jumping on the bed with me last night while I was trying to figure out the laptop issues AND the new crochet stitch. I was slightly crazy.

We need to reschedule our chat. I think I have single crochet down.

Our furnace repair guy is here to do the yearly check. The last time they did this, we lost heat for two days when they knocked a part loose. It took them all that time to figure out what went wrong.

Miracleman: Who picked this asshat to...what is this, anyway? Is he blessing us or something? What the fuck is "Saddleback"? Go get Dan Savage on the line, I got a couple questions, I don't think this is right.

Dan is already on it!

Right now, two definitions are neck-and-neck: It looks like "saddlebacking" is either going to be "gay anal sex with a condom (the opposite of barebacking)" or "a term for the phenomenon of Christian teens engaging in unprotected anal sex in order to preserve their virginities." Results next week! [link] (nswf drawing -- procede with care)

Natal Day Felicitations, Windsparrow!

I have trouble not slapping faces when I meet such an entitled little asses.

I often find myself mumbling, "I wish I had a root!" under my breath.

vw, what maths?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For my Math and Democracy class. I'm taking the final tomorrow. I'm SO not ready.

Oh no! Er... I'd so love to help. But, well, there's a few states in the way.

I had a meeting this morning where an English teacher said something about never liking math. I said, "Please don't tell the kids that," and she said, "Oh no, I know. Numbers are important."

I said, "Yes. Letters are important, too." I don't think she got it, which is just as well, because it was a little smart-ass of me.

I said, "Yes. Letters are important, too." I don't think she got it, which is just as well, because it was a little smart-ass of me.

Heh. I totally understand this urge.

Dream worth telling: dreamed last night we were playing "debaters' poker". Your hand consists of objects, and you argue over its value. For example my hand included two Sandman graphic novels, two Punisher graphic novels. Opponents claimed that was two pairs (two of each title), whereas I argued that the "kind" was graphic novel and that I had four of a kind. Next argument: does the Alice Cooper poster count as a Joker?

I said, "Yes. Letters are important, too." I don't think she got it, which is just as well, because it was a little smart-ass of me.

Ok. That's kind of awesome. I totally approve!

And I wish you weren't so far away too...though, for more than that reason. A's going to try to help me tonight. He's totally got that mathy/cs brain too.
