ha! I love all the Undead complaining about their bits falling off.

I would have thought this was awesome if it had happened at my school

Hey, my daughter's class got to meet that baby T-rex last year on a school field trip. I thought it was great! There was significantly less screaming when we saw him, probably because there was a museum docent right there to introduce him to the kids. Cutest moment of the visit: When the T-rex noticed the full grown T-rex skeleton behind him and started cooing at it.

VegNews put out a statement that's basically a few paragraphs talking about how great they are and how difficult it is to keep a magazine running, and then a paragraph that starts with, "Yes, from time to time, after exhausting all options, we have resorted to using stock photography that may or may not be vegan."

I just flipped through the latest issue. As far as I can tell, there are just four photos there that aren't stock photos -- one of them is a photo of Mayim Bialik with an article she wrote about raising vegan kids, where the photographer is credited, one is a photo with a recipe where I can't imagine being able to find that photo as a stock photo, and the other two are photos of workers that they interviewed for an article about the dangers faced by slaughterhouse workers.

Aw, that is a cool moment!

I have run out of Batman/Superman slash fic to read, which is amazing considering that a week ago I had zero interest in any such thing

I hate that, when I find a new fic genre, and I read it all obsessively for a while and then I am adrift.

Hivemind! I roasted a chicken last night, but apparently not long enough. It's been refrigerated overnight - can I fire up the oven again and finish it? Or would that be dangerous? It is a free range chicken, I believe.

Smonster, I don't know if you should do that, but I would probably do what you suggest.

My onerous task was finishing grading and submitting grades. Also, onerous? Wearing a corset and heels all day (in honor of retro day for spirit week -- they never said HOW retro).

My feet hurt.

That leads to pairing creep for me -- you start with S/B, and that leads to Batman/other people, or, hey, I wonder what Robin is up to?

Whew, tax return filed, possibly even accurately. I owe federal a little, biggish refund from state. Payment set up for Monday.

smonster, if you get the chicken's internal temperature up where it's supposed to be to be safe (165? 180? I don't know) I don't think it will matter that it was previously partially cooked. That may dry it out - maybe put it in a covered dish.

Jilli, insent to your gsc addy.

Sox, amych, I'd love to follow your blogs! I try to follow friend's blogs, so I feel like less of a schmo when I'm all "I HAZ NEW BLOG POST UP!"

I do NOT put it on FB, since I have peeps on FB I don't want following my blog, which is pseudonymous. But I use WP, and have my posts set up to it auto-Tweets new blogs to my also pseud Twitter account, and I will use FB message to send NEW POST messages to peeps who I think (hope) will be interested.

I don't have a lot of traffic, and almost never comments but I keep plugging away, for the writing practice and the clearing of thoughts.

When I set up my freelance biz this summer, I will have blog section for my freelance website which I WILL post updates on my FB, will set up a separate Twitter account and FB biz account.

And I will market the hell out of myself. June 3rd, I can start putting all my business planning into action re: THOSE ideas...

But I'll still maintain the personal blog, I think.

Onerous task: depositing old tiny freelance gig check and filling up my antifreeze. One done, one will do after 6 pm phone call for new edu freelance gig phone call...
