[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.
For Teppy:
How many helveticas does it take to get to the moon?
and
Following up on Ben Terret's calculations on the number of unkerned 100pt pieces of normal cut Helvetica it would take to stretch to the Moon (2,826,206,643.42), Jason Kottke has calculated the type-size necessary to reach the moon with a single instance of the word Helvetica (282.6 billion points -- "the 'h' would be 44,600 miles tall, roughly 5.6 times as tall as the Earth").
Helvetica! In! Space!
I know you are making light of how sick you are, but anytime the fever is so bad there is delirium and hallucinations, that's nothing to sneeze at.
Thank you and I appreciate your concern, but with me, if I have even two degrees of temperature above normal, I'm going straight to giggling and hallucinations. In fact, the first sign that something's wrong with me physically is that I'm feeling very giddy all of the sudden.
After spending most of the day in bed/on the couch, watching lots of crap TV, understanding that Singing in the Rain is a bad movie and collapsing to sleep every now and then, I have less fever, more focus and a real chance to feel the headache. But hey! Focus! With my eyes all open! (not giddy. Just thankful for the little things that went MIA about 24 hours ago).
G is still fast asleep. I eased him onto the couch when both of my legs fell asleep. He has missed his morning snack and is late for lunch, but I am sticking to my policy of not waking a sleeping baby.
understanding that Singing in the Rain is a bad movie
I think you misunderstand.
Wrong thread
OK, I take it back. Not bad movie, but lots of bad characters.
Oh dear. I am arguing with TCG's dad in facebook about don't ask don't tell.
Oh dear. I chimed in.
And I want to very much thank you for that.
A question for the librarians hivemind: I'm looking information about MA programs that will allow me to gain a degree in librarianship, and that will accept an anthropological approach for the thesis. For those who are wondering how do I relate between the two: structural and post structural anthropology deal with systems of classification. Me: a creature with an information sorting fetish. Librarianship studies: classification systems of information, hooray!
Since I know that at times, mostly in the states, there are programs for direct PhD after you gain the undergrad (in Israel it's different), I guess I can hear about them as well.
