I just called in sick for tomorrow. The fever is slowly creeping out of the low-grade range and into the moderate range, and I don't think that's very cold-like.
A vague disclaimer is nobody's friend.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I'm sorry, Hil.
Ugh, I just got off the phone with my great aunt and she has breast cancer.

ION, I made Scrappy's chicken recipe and it was delicious, as advertised. I need to get off my ass and brown up the seven-bone roast for the pot roast tomorrow.

Now tagless for your comfort.
By the way, my hometown can boast A MOPED mobile meth lab.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Either I messed it up or I don't like yorkshire pudding. I'm inclined to believe the former.

Mmmm, Yorkshire pudding.
More Matilda talk tonight. She's been on a streak.
1.
Matilda: The moon is following us. We have to get it a costume for Halloween. It wants to come with us. It'll be a pirate and say, "Aaargh."
2. (on seeing a Barack Obama poster in somebody's window)
Matilda: Barack Obama!
Me: Did you see him?
Matilda: He's in the window.
Me: Okay. Oh, I see. It's a poster.
Matilda: I have to talk to Barack Obama.
Me: What do you have to talk about with Barack Obama?
Matilda: I didn't like the pink ice cream.
Emmett: Matilda, do you know what Barack Obama does?
Matilda:
[very solemnly]
He's going to do great things.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, also, we were discussing whether a particular sentence should use the word "which" or "that." He asked me if I could articulate (and yes, he said "articulate") what the difference was between "which" and "that." I told him, and he told me that I had it backwards. I looked it up, and I was right. Really, do not cross me on grammar.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Matilda: The moon is following us. We have to get it a costume for Halloween. It wants to come with us. It'll be a pirate and say, "Aaargh."
I swear I didn't tell her the moon is following her.
Matilda: [very solemnly] He's going to do great things.
Hee! Just as long as she didn't follow that with the line from the first Harry Potter book: "Great and terrible things."

You should email him a link and tell him this.

You need to email him with your cite.
JZ says your adviser reminds her of the guy at Stanford who got beaten to death by a ball-peen hammer because he kept a guy from getting his Ph.D. for fifteen years.
