The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I am so very sorry, ita. Lots of vibes to your mom and dad and your sister and you. Which are wholly inadequate to the shittiness of it.

le nubian, congrats to your student and to you. That's terrific.

Things that make me happy: finally, finally scanning in some of Matilda's art.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Acapella groups(Yes, I'm watching The Sing-Off)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Making me happy:

  • bacon in my grilled cheese and tomato
  • Colin calling in the middle of a conference call, and me taking it
  • bacon

Sis says not to come, but to call plenty. Thanks to Google voice, that's even practical. 12¢ per minute indeed.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Our first lab is due today--guess who blew off finishing it (I did do 75% of the research last week)? And I'm just not in the mood to write it in the one hour before class starts. The prof told us we had one gimme this semester, one lab we can turn in a week late if we want/have to. I'm going to take it with this first one. There are five labs total, in addition to two papers and a few presentation/projects.

They hold you personally responsible the recession, Tom.
