This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

Because books.

I think I would be, msbelle. I need to eat healthier, and I really need to actually start doing the yoga, etc.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

So I just found myself online in the middle of a really productive spell and I wondered why. Because I'm avoiding the onerousiest of my onerous tasks...writing my condolence letter to my former student's mom. I actually already wrote the letter! All I have to do now is round up her address and send the thing! Why is this so hard?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Although it did mean I just did a whole other spate of online things what needed doing. So, yay?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

It's snowing here. Meanwhile, Nova is being velcro kitty.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You guys! Things are recovering! We haven't brought our systems fully up, but at least the damned machines are turning back on.

YAY

Um, and apparently I do not have a poker face.

Did you somehow think you did?

Going back to this morning, I am very very glad I have people who will tell me to go home. Especially today, when most of the problem requests that have come in since last Thursday somehow landed on my desk this morning.

At least my "half" day only lasted 5 hours, and then there was a milkshake.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

msbelle, general geographic location (St. Louis) or street address?

Because books.

Hey, knitting people, I have a question!

I bought a really cool sweater dress a few years ago, and I just can't wear it. The bottom is too clingy and every time I put it on, I balk. But the top and the sleeves are awesome. Would it be possible to have it hemmed to tunic-length or a little shorter? Or is that an impossible thing?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Apparently they got complaints about Downton Abbey because of the dudes kissing. Ah, people.
