Better take away her candy necklaces.

I agree, she's ready for a f2f. We just need sprog her age to make out with.

Oh, she's been to several...

Um, sorry we broke your kid...

There's a wiki where everybody who's applying for math jobs this year can update which schools are at what stage of interviewing or offering jobs and stuff like that. I keep checking the site. I need to stop that. There's really no interesting news about any place that's already shown any interest in hiring me, but just seeing all these other offers isn't good for me.

Trying hard not to laugh about Em kissing the boys but failing miserably.

The electricity on our street just went out and we can't get the alarm clock to work on batteries, even though it is supposed to. Hopefully the cellphone charge will last til morning.

Shir is dedicated to Truth, Justice, and the American Way comics and sci fi. She's super.

Feeling a bit better now. Thanks, everyone. Combination of you guys, chocolate chips, and "The Nanny" worked wonders.

Don't understand it. Normally a couple gulps of Coke keep me up for hours. But with ubber headache, it made me pass out, and now headache gone. Hopefully for good. It was only about 15 minute nap. During "Chuck".

Thanks, all that gave me feedback. It helped, and I WILL send the damn form tonight, just you wait...

And hairpets and {{}} and Health!Dammit to omnis, Stpeh (just got the Dalmatian story - I'm sorry, dear) and Hil.

Sail, I hope you had a great first day at work. Jess, that school sounds awesome.

Dante's Internet is so very funny. Here's the DickensURL I got when linked to it: [link] (DickensURLs are always right-on).

I'm kind of awake (damn you, channel 4, for airing China Beach that late at night w/o a normal rerun. You know I cannot resist this), but the only thing that makes me think of leaving the house and not going back to bed is getting a walnut-chocolate energy snack from the Holy Vending Machines of my campus. There's nothing in the world, besides getting channel 4 to air China Beach at a time that won't make my curse myself when waking up the following day, that I want more than that walnut-chocolate energy snack right now.

Well, I've bitched enough, for now. Time to make something out of this day. Cuppa tea, and I'm out of here.

I still love you all, btw.

oops. killed the thread. Sorry about that.

Calli, you are in luck. The only definite answer I got from the interwes is that Vorlesungen ¨uber den Islam was published in 1910, and was translated into English, without the approval of Goldziher in 1917. When that was discovered, the book was quickly withdrawn by the publisher. But, since it was translated in 1917, it means that the copyrights were expired, and you know what that means: it's available for free downloading on the interwebs.

I didn't get a clear answer whether and how much Introduction to Islamic Theology and Law and Muslim Studies are based of/translations of Vorlesungen ¨uber den Islam in their English editions. Some sources and reviews claim "a lot", others "not at all".

I hope that helps.

My thought for the day: I hate supermarkets. They never have any good gluten-free bread. I'm going back to grocery shopping online.

Health~ma to all who need it.

Teppy, I'm very glad to hear that things are looking better for the doggy.

This. (Currently on third cup of Yorkshire Gold tea. It's not getting me going on the writing yet. And you should see my 'to do' list. I've got deadlines up until April and probably well beyond AND I'M NOT EVEN EMPLOYED. Hmph.)

DickensURLs are always right-on

Is true! Hee.
