Because books.

I tried Herr's popped chips with sea salt this weekend, and they were really very good.

More Nemesis: is there a way to manipulate someone into involving you? I can't figure out how to get someone who hates me and wants me gone (so that she can take over my program and not get anything done) to keep me CC'd on her correspondence and invited to her meetings.

That is, without sending her a weekly email requesting her to forward copies of her correspondence.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Blackmail, Consuela?

I'm sort of not kidding, since she seems absolutely toxic.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Yay for a happy resolution to the car saga, Allyson!

Yvonne the Cow is my hero for the day.

My grandfather used to say, "Never try to wrestle a pig. You just get dirty, and the pig likes it." (Meaning, don't argue with stubborn stupid people.)

The broken automated machine at the post office continues to thwart me.

Did it claim to be a unicorn?

Oh my goodness! I think I just broke something laughing.

I asked because I started a blog about the costume shop, mostly because I am trying to track what is going well, and what I would like to change next year. I am working on trying to teach the students something working within y crazy situation, and in the process perhaps making the whole thing work better for me-- if my students can do things, than I don;t have to.

It is here if anyone is interested, but I am super wordy and the topic is super specific, but I would be interested in anyone's perspective:

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

An older version of not feeding the trolls. I like it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

then there are the people who hate "BigPharma" because they are only about profit and money and then turn around and spend tons of money on fake treatments.

But the money's going to New Age types who say their natural treatment is good for the earth!

Mind you, I suppose it's technically true inasmuch as, once you become fertilizer, you are good for the earth.
