They gave me naan instead of roti again. Fuckers.
Send any unloved naan to me. There is no bad naan. And garlic naan will rule the universe.
Jayne, you'll scare the women.

“Not dead yet!”
No wonder I get so frustrated in those classes. And that's after the Aphrodite's birth story, AKA Huge Flying Penis story.
BWAH-- but you have such a lovely way of conveying your aggravation.
But yeah, I think your analogy is fairly apt. There's always the book that breaks out-- the one that defies expectations or that gets noticed in unusual ways. It's that sort of hope that gives the glimmer of hope and lets you slog through the crap.
Although the crap can oftentimes feel overwhelming.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
ION, fifty strange buildings.
Very cool, though I think putting casinos in there (or anything in Vegas, really) is cheating in some way.
Shir, your prof for Mythological Origins of Art can't comprehend shades of grey/layers? Why the fuck is he teaching it? Origins of art are rarely clear-cut.

I have no idea, but he just won't accept any layered answers. Which makes me worry about the test.
Say, hivemind: what's the name of the symbol of the snake in The Neverending Story? Ororo-something?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
But my Oklahoma dream was very beautiful, very green and big and for some reason, with a deserty training base in it.
Shir, Oklahoma has its dry and dusty areas, but they are more high plains grassy and not so much rock-sand-cactus deserty. Otherwise, your description fits very well.

Yeah, things have Not Been Fun in the publishing industry this year. Luckily I'm fairly certain my job is safe as long as the company itself is solvent, but workload pressure is going to be increasing and there's no question of bonuses or even cost-of-living raises for the foreseeable future.

At Random House, Wednesday's reorganization has sewn great confusion.
C'mon Washington Post blogsters! It's "sown" not "sewn."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The only problem with the Strange Buildings is that this one is apparently destroyed, not strange: [link]
