I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

I've only been to nondenom, quaker and random other christian weddings.

So today, they came to me with request to do an insert on a table. "It's just like your system! Except on a different database! And a different database OS! Oh, you didn't know about it? What, you don't have an account on the server? And don't have the interface software to the db? Oh and we're live!" WTFF. They've been SO GODDAMNED CAGEY about this mission that ops didn't know they went live until today. They've been live for a week.

This isn't the first time this has happened lately. We need to have a talk.

And sitting at my desk, I pinched a nerve or something right by the shoulder/collarbone meetup. And it's really annoying. Even could feel it in the pool. Which was a madhouse, at one point with 10 people sharing 2 lanes. At least they were considerate and stayed out of my way.

I so so SO need an attitude adjustment. I feel as if I'm having 2 weeks of pms, such is my irritation level. And yet, no. It's just the situation.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

How does that work? Just spinach on top of pasta? No sauce? The spinach is the sauce?

The olive oil is the sauce, pretty much. There isn't really an actual sauce, just enough olive oil (which would have picked up the garlic flavor) to coat the pasta.

My elbow bruise is migrating down my arm. I really knocked the shit out of it. Doesn't hurt to the touch anymore, at least. More than can be said of my shin.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

How does that work? Just spinach on top of pasta? No sauce? The spinach is the sauce?

What Hil said. You cook it in olive oil, and a little butter, maybe some garlic. And then you put the cooked pasta right into the pan with the stuff you're sauteing and mix the pasta up with it.

You can do this with any combination of things you might saute, like mushrooms, or chicken.

Definitely a pinched nerve. My thumb is tingling. Ridiculous that I've been swimming 1.5 miles daily, crawl and I pinch a nerve sitting at my desk.

Oooh, Tom! What are you learning?

There are lots and lots of galaxies! They need people to go on Galaxy Zoo to help identify them.
