Loving the Bible spoilers.
I edited my article and sent it to my advisor with a note that I'm putting it up on arxiv next Thursday and I'd appreciate any comments he has before that
Nice going! I hope it's well received. And a high school math competition could be fun. Despite their reputation as a group, I swear high school kids are OK really. (Says the ex-schoolteacher).
And the only question in my mind is, Kraft Mac&Cheese or angel hair pasta with stewed tomatoes.
Kraft mac and cheese for me every time. But that's because we can't get it over here, and I have to grab it while I can, which is usually when The Girl brings it back from Houston for me. She brought back 18 packets on Monday. I've already eaten 6.
Erika, your KOS posts are great. I don't understand most of the references, not being in the US, but your cynical style is much fun.
Not-mono~ma, Kristin. I hope the blood work shows something they can treat quickly and easily.

High school kids are OK. Timing thirty second intervals for three hours is not. For some reason, in the job delegation for this thing, professors read questions aloud, grad students run the timers, and undergrads bring the score sheets from the individual rooms to the main room. Because it seems you need at least a bachelor's to run a stopwatch, and a Ph. D. to read questions off a piece of paper.
My friend K to the rescue! She brought over a dress-up dress that she had in her stash - a black dance costume where the tutu is made out of strips of colorful tulle like green, yellow, orange, red, black, purple, etc. Em fell in love with it. So she went to school today as a witch princess. That costume with black tights and shoes. We put two ponytails in her hair and tied them with green, black, red, and gold ribbons and then spray-dyed her hair cartoon red. We took another gathering of the ribbons and tied the to a gold star-tipped wand. A dash of red lipstick and she was set. She LOVED it and looked awesome. She has the perfect complexion for being a redhead and I'm a little crazy in that I kind of want to dye it now.
Joe's at the Halloween parade right now so hopefully he'll get some good pictures and post them.
Cutiehead kiddos!
I am itching for a fight today, because I'm in a bad mood. I believe it has something to do with the fact that Maryland's tax information is of teh suck for those of us trying to figure out how to pay our nanny taxes. I'm have trouble finding what I need and understanding what, exactly, I'm supposed to be doing, and I have advanced degrees is both law and information science. Grrrrrrrr.
I love seeing all the Buffista Halloween pictures! Adorable kitty! I'm not sure what Bobby's plan is yet, but Brendon is apparently a Jerk, which has something to do with a song and a dance, and I am an elderly parent without a clue. He took 3 shots of the ensemble that he wore to school this morning. [link]
Yay cute kidlets! I'm just wearing black with orange and black stripey tights. Not overly original, but it will do.
I also can barely swallow, my glands are so swollen. But my awesome doctor emailed me back at midnight (!) last night to say the bloodwork just shows a really high white blood cell count, so he wanted to see if I was getting better. Phew! Not horrible news. I am going to have to go in today to have a strep and mono test to rule those out, though. Fun. But good.
I'm in all black (well, black + jeans), a red scarf, and devil horns on my head. It was too cold for my blue dress.
Sox, did you see this: [link]
Time for I to visit her cousins in Culver City!
