Sorry, I don't really know Matlab too well.
Who among us can ignore the allure of really funny math puns?

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Ah well. And now I can't for the life of me recall why I thought you did. Sorry about that.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Hil, huge congrats on the publication of the paper! That's fantastic.
Am getting through my dissertation quite well. Potentially disastrously, it's all methodology and not much in the way of results. I need to call my supervisor and go "waaaaah" at her until she tells me what to do about this.
PhDs also need thinking about quite soon. Some crazy departments have scholarship application deadlines of the end of November. For sessions beginning next September. Madness.
In 'Wake Up With Hugh Laurie' today, Jeeves sings. [link] (Do you guys know 'Jeeves & Wooster'? Very funny early 90s stuff - worth watching.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
But if they're under a skirt and petticoats isn't the shiny sort of hidden?
Yes. That is the point, for me. It's a feature, not a bug. A little bit of shiny that you just get the hint of under petticoats could be neat. Shiny leggings? Less so.

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
If I had the figure to run around in those things I'd do it in a heartbeat.
Which, I suppose, is the point of having them.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Congrats, Hil!
Shiny leggings are stupid, unless Jilli is wearing them under petticoats. Jilli could wear Lederhosen under petticoats and it would be cute.
Niggardly is a perfectly good word, which we cannot use anymore because so many people are ignorant.
The fourth-grade peacemakers are wonderful. Which reminds me of a tv show called Peacemakers that was basically CSI: Western. I wish that was on DVD.
I'm enjoying Wake Up With Hugh Laurie and the thought of pie. Shitmydadsays is cracking me up. I'm going to be that guy when I'm 73, I just know it.
I have to work before I can watch last night's Criminal Minds. Life, as noted, is unfair.

Our wings are not tired.
Fair is for fucking five year olds. He need to get the fuck over it.
Ha! This is so true I would use it as a tag, if I used that kind of language, but I don't, so I'll just admire the clarity of the statement.
For some reason I woke up earlier than usual today and took a walk with Brandy around the park. She promptly fell asleep when we got home and is snoring next to me. She was happy to go with me although a bit confused.

The one which bugs me at the moment is that in all the recorded versions I can find of "Kookaburra Sits In The Old Gum Tree", they've changed "Gay your life must be" into "Happy your life must be". Thank you, Fisher Price, for protecting my infant son from gay kingfishers. Who knows what might have happened otherwise?

I also mourn the loss of the ability to use the word "gay" to mean what it actually fucking means.
