Liese, I know. I mean, Prague does feel like a lifetime ago, but really, it felt like that after 6 months back. But fifteen years? My friend now has 3 kids and is living between Prague and Amsterdam.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Mea culpa from a Wisconsin state employee (and also an old friend of mine) for causing this whole mess.
My head feels like it's stuffed full of cotton balls. This is no good.
ION, I am super excited about selling books at the flea market. I'm going back to the warehouse on Tuesday to get more books.
Brenda, that starts out fantastic and then gets... fantasticer. Kudos to your friend.
Where are you going to be set up, Holli? In the school yard or on the street?

NU president 'troubled' by sex toy demonstration on campus
Northwestern University President Morton Schapiro said today he is "troubled and disappointed" by the live sex toy demonstration on campus last week and has launched an investigation.
He released a statement saying the university is looking into the appropriateness of the demonstration, where about 100 students in a psychology class witnessed a naked woman being penetrated by a sex toy.
Schapiro called the decision by Professor J. Michael Bailey "extremely poor judgment."

"Northwestern faculty members engage in teaching and research on a wide variety of topics, some of them controversial. That is the nature of a university. However, in this instance, I have directed that we investigate fully the specifics of this incident, and also clarify what constitutes appropriate pedagogy, both in this instance and in the future," he said.
Wanker.
That's... kind of cool, but I say that as someone with no phobia and a different Mazda model.
In the school yard, bonny. Apparently they're two different markets, run separately!
