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.
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.
Maybe Richie in a straw boater to Potsy?
(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.
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!)
Hee. I hpoe that dream stuff is still in effect becuase I dreamt that someone donated us $23,500. Stated they wanted to cover our whole budget. Which that would`t quite do, but super close. That was a rough realization upon waking, I tell you what.
Speaking of King of the Hill and swear words that aren`t, I do say "asinine" a lot. And "execrable", too. Plus "disingenuous" in arguments. And "criminey." If you spit it with the intensity of profanity it works as profanity.
