Aurelia, I think we have the same thing. I actually skipped strike-- I just had my students shove everything in the costume shop because I don't actually trust them not to launder something that is dry clean only. They have really poor judgement about that. Today (day 5) I seem to be starting to resemble human, but the runny nose is worse, and the hacking cough isn't all the way gone.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
aurelia, pot de creme is a custard that is made in-pot - kind of like a creme brulee, but without the fire element.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
This is day 13 for me. I wasn't getting any rest that first week though.
Thanks, Juliana.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I can't believe these people I used to work with got an article in the Times. [link] Beth must know someone who works there, because I'm sorry, that's not a story.

This is my experience with NYT "lifestyle" trend type stories. They are incredibly lame and always read like "hey, I have a friend who does (x) therefore (x) is an exciting story for people my age, who are me."
(EDIT: See also: the "trend" of ladies eating red meat on dates! SHOCKING. But will make the menfolk respect you more!)
I do not have the utmost respect for the Paper of Record, I am afraid. (not that the Globe is any better.)

The Style section is almost entirely ridiculous and/or maddening.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I was going to try that last time I was there, Juliana, but then someone got me a free cheese plate appetizer, and it was so good I ate all of it.
Also, I went to breakfast right near Target and then had extra time so I went to Target to buy gum and somehow walked out with gum and a liberty dress.
At least I remembered the gum.

Poor Suzi. Do you have arnica gel? That often helps.
I do not. I don't even know what it is. Will research. We didn't even spar yesterday, so I can't try and blame karate.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
I really need to get to Juliana's restaurant at some point. Pity I don't work in the city anymore. And that there aren't any Buffistas working in downtown Oakland, since I have loser coworkers who don't like to go out for drinks after word.
