I think you're overlooking that maybe going to graduate school turns you into a supervillain.
This seems very probable.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
If billytea is around (or anyone else who might know the answer): My DH is off to Beijing in a few days, and I would like to know if the electrical adapter he needs is the same one we use for New Zealand?
Sorry I missed this last night. Yes, it's the same adapter.
But I really like Neil Finn's version of "Billie Jean" too.
That's a surprisingly effective cover, given it was just for a quirky segment on a radio show. Do you have the rest of the CD too? Rolf Harris' version of "I Touch Myself" has to be heard to be believed.
I heard it was an Australian tv show, and the star of that show is playing the dog in the US version.
You heard correctly. It's on SBS here (multicultural programming for the most part. Not sure which culture features the pot-smoking dogs.)
Will do, rommytot. Or won't. I'm not sure which. I shall ponder the wisest course of action over a snifter of cognac. Typo, I am in love with your new tagline.
JZ, I am in love with your typo.
My office is giving me no cognac. They're promising cider at 4:00, though. I guess I should stick around, huh?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
What's everybody doing for their Onerous Task today?
Washing all the things, packing all the things, cleaning all of the things and eating all of the perishable things.
So far laundry is done, electronics are compiled and I used the last of my bread and eggs making poached eggs on toast with a dab of Hollandaise on them. The last bit was yummy.
I am so unprepared to leave ugly early tomorrow. But I am getting closer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
JZ, I am in love with your typo.
Ha! I didn't even notice.
Maybe I should change my name to rommytot.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
JZ's onerous task for today: drink that cognac!
I'm on it! (It's good.)
Tep, I do put garlic in my best get-better soup, which is chicken stock with lemon, garlic and Thai hot sauce. Plus noodles. But the hot sauce really does get your nose running, and the lemon is soothing, and the garlic is healthful.
Sox, I thought the 1-2-3 list was the programmer writing back (and quoting South Park) saying, "Uh, how exactly are you going to make money doing this?"

I thought it was a callback to your ZJ opposite-world reference.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Apparently I'm going to spend the rest of the day explaining jokes.
That's my superpower.

I stopped at the health food store on the way home from the university. There was a poster about a raw food class, which looked interesting. The bottom of the poster said to register early, and to go to the website for more info. So I got home, looked at the website, and it says that you need to go to the store to register. They couldn't have put this information on the sign in the store?
