Good job, Erin's BF!

Btw, Jilli, I've been meaning to mention that Booksmith has your book on display in their window for Halloween. And they also have a shelf devoted to Books In the Window so it's getting extra looks.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Teppy, the beer bread is awesomely easy! And tastes great with potato & leek soup!

DH took one look at the soup and bread when he got home and said, "I'm going to put on sweatpants."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Must try the beer bread, possibly next time we're stuck indoors on a rainy Saturday. A quick jaunt through Google turns up about a billion ridiculously simple variations, including cheddar, onion rye and rosemary feta. OMG so hungry now!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I had an actually helpful meeting with my advisor today. We've been going back and forth with "You need to write more here," "I don't know what to write," for a while, for the introduction to an article I'm writing. I finally just kept replying to all of his "You need to write more" comments with, "Do you have any suggestions for what I should write?" and after about five repetitions of that, he actually gave me some suggestions, and I think I can work with those to get this done.

Also, with the edits we went over with my research statement, I think that I'll be able to finish that tomorrow. So that'll be CV done, teaching statement done, research statement done, and I got a draft of a cover letter done today, which I can edit tomorrow. And then I'll be ready to apply for jobs. Yikes.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Those are gorgeous, but I think I got a blister on my heel just THINKING about them.

that was my first thought too. Whoever (whomever?) wears them first has to report back to the group on how much they hurt.

Because books.

Did the beer bread recipe get posted? I searched but I couldn't find it, and now I'm intrigued.

Ahahahaha.

Tom will be OK, travelling has messed with his system and some things need to work out. And eat more fiber!

ETA: Thanks for all the ~ma!

it was posted textually but since it's only three ingredients it was easy to miss.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay, Tom being okay!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Yay for productive meeting with advisor, Hil.

Feel better, all you sickies.

I have a pie in the oven. Yeah, I cheated, it's a boughten crust. Zestar, Lakeside, Gala, and Sweet16, and made it with Splenda.
