Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wrod, Jesse, on the Summers front. I mean I get that he can be all knowledgable about money and still be a dick, but SIGH.

I have one student who claimed to be 'heartbroken' over the presidential election. She's so naively partisan that I actually felt some sympathy for her. After all, I was heartbroken in 2000 and 2004.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's GOT to be someone who is knowledgable about money AND thinks women can be good scientists, you know?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You slackass assslacker! Get out of your apartment and come up here.

Get out of your apartment and come down here! I make the trip a hell of a lot more than you do.

Weekend: JZ took Matilda to meet megan walker and go to the anti Prop 8. rally.

Not so much. Apologize to JZ for me. My phone died and I didn't realize it until I had been waiting some time. I waited 1/2 an hour by work, and then went ahead to the rally, where I hunted around for another half hour or so. No luck.

Tell that to my two new puncture wounds. First time Devi's drawn blood from me over Loki. My own fault, but damn, this is slow progress and a bit of regress. I honestly think only him getting bigger+ house will resolve this drama.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I was at the Clinton inauguration in 2006

Oh yeah, of course by 1996, I meant 1997

Jesse has become unstuck in time...

I was at the '93 inauguration and actually got halfway decent standing room because my sister's elementary school choir was singing there. (Which REALLY irritated me at the time because it was MY elementary school choir too, only I wasn't in elementary school any more so I COULDN'T GO BACKSTAGE. And it all seemed terribly unfair.)

Compassionately intolerant

'93 inauguration

I hopped up on a flatbed truck at the very, very beginning of the parade route. Got to see all the groups getting their stuff together and watch them bursting with energy. It was freezing, but it was great.

One poor Midwestern woman had her illusions shattered when she asked me what the men on top of the National Museum of Art were going waving sticks around.

"Um. Ma'am. Those are sniper rifles."

Suddenly the parade was a little less sunny for her. Sigh.
