I'm sorry, Hil.
Ugh, I just got off the phone with my great aunt and she has breast cancer.
[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.
I'm sorry, Hil.

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.
By the way, my hometown can boast A MOPED mobile meth lab.
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.
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.

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."
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.
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.
Also e-mail him with that story, Hil.
