Bah. Based on putting together some rumors and bits of information from web sites, I'm pretty sure I didn't get the job I really wanted, though I haven't actually gotten a rejection yet. I did get two other rejections today, though. Also sent out two more applications.

[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.

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

Job hunting is a itchy righteous bitch, Hil.
ION, I am working on grading much faster. I seem to have found my ruthless college prof groove. I was being much too anal about grading grammar errors.
It's SO HARD to not be all "too much feedback grammar geek" on their asses.
But a student turned in a nearly perfect assignment, and I kept shouting "I FUCKIN' LOVE YOU!" as I graded it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I once came out with the phrase "Goat testicles to you, Bucko!" at a drunken party back in college once. I have no idea why, but it was documented on tape. I'm not even sure it was an insult, though.
Sounds like one of those veddy British things one college lad in a straw boater might say to another on Masterpiece Theater.

“Not dead yet!”

Perhaps sans "Bucko."

(I posted in this in Literary, but I'm xposting with Natter and Bitches to get the most feedback, because I am so interested in this. If it works, imagine the Buffistas lending community!)
Hey, anyone buy ebooks through Barnes and Noble?
They have a Lend an Ebook beta and I would love to know if anyone has tried it. SO far, you can do it on your PC and a Nook, but they say it's coming for iPhone/Touch soon.
I think I have one of the books in the Beta, but I would LOVE to try it out with someone.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I don't know about that, Erin. I used to do Bookcrossing where you release books into the wild but they also have a book exchange program I never tried.
edit... oh wait Ebooks... nope, I don't have the technology.
Earlier my roommate was telling me about a dream he had where I got a job offer. Five minutes later someone called who wants to interview him! Knock-em-dead~ma would be appreciated for him, 2pm tomorrow.

Laga, I have posted in Literary. I have a couple of books eligible, if anyone wants to try it.
(I am kinda geeking out about it! I hope it works!)
