Thanks for the explanation, Shir.
Ginger, I'm glad your book fest went ok, in spite of the hitches in the works.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

They were very minor hitches. This is my fifth year of volunteering and they've gotten most of the kinks out.
I thought of P-C and his family during this author's [link] presentation. This first book is apparently a lot about the difficulties of being caught between two worlds. He said the novel he's working on now is about a 40-year-old man and woman trying to have a relationship but they don't know how because, he said, "they're Indian."

Grading. A quiz question was "Use the Squeeze Theorem to prove" and then gave an equation to prove. It was a somewhat difficult problem, and so far (about 2/3 of the way through grading), I'm pretty pleased with how many people got it right. I just got to a student, though, who answered, "No thank you."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Emeline is taking her first foray into anime, and taking me with her. She chose Ponyo (English version) to watch this morning. So far, we like it. Though I really need to get back to getting my living/dining room back in order.

At least he was polite?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Hmm. Sounds like a tacit "No thank you" to the implied "Do you want to pass this class?"

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Well, if there's 20 questions on the test and you know you got the other 19 right, you can skip one, right?

Of course, but writing "no thank you" is cocky. Better to just skip the question. Although I would have been amused if he wrote, "I prefer not to."

I prefer not to.
I agree that's a much better answer.

There were four questions. He did get full credit on all the others. (I strongly suspect that he took calculus in high school and did pretty well but not well enough to test out of it in college -- the questions that he got right were all things that are generally covered in a high school calculus course, and the one that he didn't answer is on material that high school courses will frequently skip or gloss over.)
