"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Bacon!
What? Yes, that's all I got out of the last hundred or so posts.
Also, goose grease. Nom. Admittedly it takes a much bigger process to obtain, but at the end of that process, you have delicious goose, and also, vast unknowable quantities of goose grease in which to cook everything ever.

Shit, it looks like a second reactor has ruptured spewing steam.
Oh, dear. I hope the men in the article you quoted aren't too close.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
with bacon grease and duct tape, we should be able to solve all the world's problems.
If only they had thought of that before the earthquake! And/or 9/11. @@
Oh, wait, it's not a book made of bacon here you peel off the leaves and fry them up, is it?
Of course that's what I thought, too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I went to bed wondering if I was getting a cold, but woke up this morning sure of it, between the stuffy nose, sore throat, and having turned into a OMGWTFSHUTUPALREADY GINOURMOUS WHINY BABY.

Poor you, Perkins!
I wish I had thought to ask to work from home today. It's rainy and bleh, I'm sleepy, and I have zero meetings. Would have been a good day for it! But no.

The ERBs. They test if the kid knows letters, numbers, shapes, colors, stuff like that. And also, since we're talking about four-year-olds here, they also test how willing the kid is to sit in a room with a stranger and show off what he or she knows. Most of the private schools in NYC require them as part of an application. Lots of parents enroll their kids in prep courses or even get private tutors. (My mother still brags about how my older sister got a great score on them even though she hadn't had any of the prep stuff. I never took them, since we moved to the suburbs, where I would go to public school, the year before I started kindergarten.)

My sister also, during the tour of a school at her entrance interview, walked into the library and exclaimed, "Oh, look, a library! I love books!" My mother also still brags about this.
