Amy, that's a New York story!
Barb, do you get rhubarb in your new digs? I ask because I found rhubarb at my LA farmer's market and I was all, "OHIO!"
Buffy: So how'd she get away with the bad mojo stuff? Anya: Giles sold it to her. Giles: Well, I didn't know it was her. I mean, how could I? If it's any consolation, I may have overcharged her.

We were teenagers! Drunk ones! At one a.m.!
It sounds much better now, I think. Um.

“Not dead yet!”
I do, Kat. At least, I've seen it at the Yakima Fruit Market.
Y'know, I've never actually made anything with rhubarb? I should try a strawberry/rhubarb pie I think. The strawberries have been absolutely spectacular around here.

I found a reference to "Namaste, Motherfucker" from 2003, and it made it sound like it'd already been around for a long time. Anyway, not that important.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
And sometimes we see an Indian dude walking out of a bank and say "Namaste," probably to make him feel nice, but instead we totally make him feel weird and Other-tastic. There is no winning!
Personally I would avoid doing so because I've seen a few too many pretentious New Age types using it as a greeting before they start rambling about auras. From a person of Indian or Nepalese origin: a gentle and respectful greeting; from a lifestyle coach or smoothie barrista: a sure sign that I should leave before my eyes get stuck rolled back toward the interior of my skull.

Hee, Matt!
Well, it looks like I'll either get a B+ or an A- in my class; it all depends on how I did on the final quiz tonight. If I get either 9 or 10 (out of 10), it's the A-. I'lll know next week at our final class!
Oh, and I spent nearly an hour chatting with the prof after class tonight (we got out an hour early). She said that I was a great addition to the class dynamics not just because of my job experience, but even more so because of my "enthusiasm."
I warned her on day one of the class to tell me to zip it if I started talking too much!

java, I'm sure Lea wasn't the first person to say it, but she was the first on this board, if I recall.
Oh man.
I should do my work and yet am uninspired.

My mom has an awesome strawberry rhubarb pie recipe. It is my favorite pie EVER.

Heh, Matt.
I love being happy for my friends.
And I love being happy so that my friends can be happy for me!
Dan and I NEED to come out to SF. There are so many people out there I know. I think it would be a lovely city to visit as a belated honeymoon. That, or New Orleans is on my list.
