Oh, Julie, I have so been there. I have found that either just going with it or pretending you are having some bizarre allergy attack works.
I just got (accidently) invited on Facebook by a student to her "HouseWarming and Makeout Party this weekend . Think I should go?
Also, I feel like crap. My ear is all plugged up again, and it is so close to being an outer ear infections from me itching it. My nostril on that side is also plugged up, and I feel a little like I have been hit on the nose with a baseball bat.
Also, why am I such a pushover at the theatre. I know I cannot (even with help) make 3 doublets, pajamas, a matrix type coat, an evening dress with 3 bodices, and 3 other bodices, along with some headdresses in the time that is alotted. I haven't sewn period clothes in ten years, and even then I was just sewing on someones instruction. But I try to say no, and the designer seems so reasonable.
Megavideo is conspiring against me, telling me I've watched 72 minutes of video when I've watched maybe 45.
Sophia, unfortunately, allergy attacks amongst a staff that knows my allergies and that the ragweed isn't in bloom yet doesn't help. Although I think the hiccuping and sobbing didn't help either. Hopefully tomorrow doesn't involve long walks in the woods again. It's going to be cooler and I can't use the excuse of needing the shade again (although I did find an infestation of bamboo from a neighbors yard starting to invade our property.)
Anyone heard about Rifqa Bary? [link] Something just seems not right in that story. I don't want to say that the girl is lying when she says she's in danger, but it just seems a bit off.
Any Chicagoistas have recommendations for moving companies? The last time I moved was eight years ago....
I used Kolovitz Movers a couple of years ago and they rocked. They're in Oak Park, so I don't know if that's very convenient for you.
Man, my sweet tooth really likes the idea of this. Especially with my current craving for frozen fruit. The supermarket didn't have my pre-frozen mix, so I have a less exotic combination bought fresh and freezing right now. I will miss the mango and pineapple.
Hil, that story sounds very off. And I distinctly don't like that one of the girl's main defenders is the founder of Jihad Watch, which I came across while looking for online reviews of a thoughtful, well-written apologetics-for-the-general-public book written by an American Muslim woman I'd just read, and found a whack-ass raging screed by him about what a monstrous liar and bloodstained terrorist apologist she was.
There's a show on the Canadian History Channel called the Reinventors, where they take patents that were never made, build them and see if they work. I wise there was a way to submit ideas, because I would totally submit the banana thing.

According to the article in Time magazine, she was a cheerleader before she ran away from home.
I already posted Lewis' first offering to the Dalek conversation in COMMA, because it was that good, but I'll repost here:
Mary Kay Dalek: EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE!
But then he came up with another-- lead-footed Dalek: ACCELERATE! ACCELERATE!
My husband, he is a bent, bent man. Which is why I love him, of course.
