At some other point I will comment on Thomas. My opinion is, for me, unusually nuanced.
I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.
This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

[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

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
Hang tough, Hil.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
No nun job. Sad.
I am satisfied with my summer adjunct gig at the tech college, but I think I will start sending out resumes to more traditional colleges in the area to try to get a more traditional freshmen comp course, or even a -- please dog -- lit course for the fall. I think I would have a pretty good shot at UMKC, since I have taught there, and still know several people on the faculty there. And there's Park U., and the Metropolitant Community Colleges..
It's so BORING teaching writing without being able to assign readings, just chapters from a text on critical thinking. I miss talking about words and characters.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Sorryish , Nora. A job would be nice, but the right one.

I need to do some stuff, not sure I want to move yet.

I am messing around with my first week's lecture/assignments. And I think I will do some laundry -- I am commando -- and change the cat box.
One of the cats laid a Stank Egg and didn't cover, and changing day is tomorrow anyway.

Not entirely unrelatedly, the editorial assistant position I applied for last June was just posted on the uni website--I have no idea if the person who got it flaked or got a better offer or what, but I just applied, again.
Oh I hope this works out!! That sounds like a great fit for you.

Thanks, flea and omnis. I'll check them out.
Nora, I'm sorry the nun thing didn't work out.
I hope one of your competitors finds the perfect job elsewhere, Hil.

I now have a bunch of hole saws, since the one I needed was $6, but there was a package of five different sizes for $15. It is this type of high finance that keeps me the pauper that I am. That and the fact that, despite trying desperately to resist, I was forced to buy a huge four-gallon rosemary bush on sale for $10. (Do you want one, flea? I could go back tomorrow and we could actually manage to get together.)

I love rosemary and use it so much that the three rosemary plants I have are almost bare. It is used as the shrub in some local parking lots though; would it be disgusting to go pick some off, wash it and use it?
And speaking of disgusting; my boyfriend's sense of humor: [link]

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Book rec for people wanting to get their offices organized: How to Get Organized Without Resorting to Arson, by Liz Franklin. I got a lot of really good ideas, and more importantly, perspective out of that book.
