I think that the new people thing is not something I crave so much. I wonder if it's because I'm around students all day?
Well, I like them better when there's turnover. Not something you're looking for in your day job.
Isn't this pretty?
Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

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

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I like how it's generally called the terrorist fist bump
I cracked my dad up over the weekend after I acted outraged about a couple of soldiers giving each other a "terrorist fist bump" in an Army commercial (though they kind of did it sideways instead of dead-on, which I guess is the way to do it in "Real America.")

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I kinda want to go to SF to run in the far side run and see the new California Academy of Science. But that seems like too far to go for a run and it's on Sunday which is a bummer. If it were on Sat, it would be way more doable.
Come to SF!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Kat--J & I have just been talking about the same thing. We haven't had a single party or even people over to dinner this entire year--and the year is almost over! Not a good thing to realize. With funerals and birthdays and health things, it seems like our families took up all our people energy.
In better news, we got this potting bench (cheaper than this link because it's discontinued) [link] and put it together and it looks GREAT! It doesn't seem like you could actually fold it up, but we don't plan on doing that anyway.

White America, huh?

Every time I think about President-Elect Obama, I gleefully think, "Oh, my god, you guys, we elected a NERD."
And it turns out I spent all weekend worrying about work for no reason.

At krav it's the standard knuckles to knuckles then you tap bottom of fist to top of theirs and vice versa.
Daps.

And he doubled the meds that are making my appetite rage out of control. Whoops.
Celery and brocolli may be your friends if you're worried about that side effect making you over-indulge.
I am ambivalent about having recently joined Facebook. It's nice to have the updating wall thing with a slew of Buffistas, and it also happily reconnected me with The One Who Got Away this past week. But it's depressing to discover how many people I knew in HS went into conservative ministries as adults. And a number of people that I have absolutely no memory of have sent me friend requests—if we went to school together, I was completely oblivious to their existence.

Broccoli might do it. I'm eating insane amounts of cereal to satisfy my sweet tooth, but at least it's organic multi-grain oats cereal with soy milk. And I've finally finished the chocolate cake. Next CI test recipe is chocolate chip cookies, and despite having all the ingredients I'm not touching it with a six foot pole.
Ha! The Wikipedia article on dap mentions the Obamas. No mention of terrorists, but I suppose I could fix that...
