Well, the day's drawing to a close here. I hope everyone has this much fun this weekend.
eta: warning! loud music!
Kaylee: So, uh, how come you don't care where you're going? Book: 'Cause how you get there is the worthier part.

::SNORT:: Dunno about that much fun, but I am competing for the second time this weekend. Small local gig that's just half a step above a studio showcase, but it's good practice because come early November, I'm going to be doing this:

Barb, I watched some of the video - is that Mary from SYTYCD drinking champagne?

Yeah, Todd- she's one of the competition organizers.

Have fun, Barb, and break a leg! (I think the superstition is the same for all live performances?!)
Had GREAT time connecting with friend my my study abroad London days...and she intro'd us to the crack that is TJ's chocolate covered almonds with sea salt! YUM, OMG.
She also brought over a couple of bottles of wine to toast my opening of my freelancing biz, so I am a little buzzed. Wearing a sweater, and red wine and chocolate buzz -- YAY!
erika, I got your email, and I will respond tomorrow when I have not had a few glasses of wine. But yes!

I'm sleepy. And I'm sick. But I also seem to be getting better at Stern Teacher Voice. Today, at the beginning of class, I had a talk with my students about how I'm seeing way too many algebra errors on their papers. Basic point of the talk was, "You should have learned this in high school. If your high school didn't teach it to you, then that's not your fault, but it is now your responsibility to learn it, because you need to know these topics in order to learn calculus." And people were nodding and asking where they could find help. And at the end of class, there were a few extra minutes, so I gave them a problem to do using the algebra skills that I'd told them they needed to practice, and most of them didn't finish the problem by the time the class was over, but even after I dismissed the class, most of them stayed to finish the problem and discuss their solutions with me.

X-posting from my FB page, because I'm so unbearably tickled by this exchange with Nate:
Him: Can't wait for Doctor Who tomorrow.
Me: We won't be able to watch until late
Him: WHY?!?
Me: Noles are playing Oklahoma tomorrow evening.
Him: *glares*
Me: Dude, number 1 versus number 5 and one of them is the Noles. You know how long it's been since we've had a game like this?
Him: *glares*
Me: Quit sulking.
Him: I will not. I am totally going to be Doctor Jonas Sulk. I'm going to revolutionize sulking.
Me: *laughing hysterically*
