'A Hole in the World'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I am not a creme brulee fan, but I do like panna cotta with chocolate and berries. Or a chocolate panna cotta.
Noah and Grace's school is having their fall carnival. We went and now we are home. They had fun, but they'd also rather play outside, at least since we bought the soccer net.
I get a ton of collections (or possibly just payees? What's the term -- not a collections agency, just the company he owes money to) for the person who had this number before me, but they have all been pleasant so far.
Less pleasant are the blocked-number calls I get on my cell phone semi-regularly, generally around 11 at night, when I'm about to fall asleep. No one is there, they don't leave a message, and I have no way to call back. Good times.
Also I just learned Sunday is Oktoberfest in my neighborhood and now I'm scared. Also I am full, but still want to eat something salty. HMMMM. Maybe a wee popcorn.
Saturday is Oktoberfest here. Sigh. Oh wait. that's tomorrow.
I want but I don't know what.
Saturday is the Nigerian Independence parade. Sunday is the Chicago marathon.
I decided that I wanted to be self-indulgent, so I made guacamole for dinner.
I've been getting collections calls for someone who has the longer version of my first name and same last name. I don't know if they're harassing everyone with a variant of the name or if I'm just lucky.
My day started too early and lasted too long and now I just want to watch Fringe but my damn digital converter isn't working. If I can't get the thing to reset in the next... 8 minutes it may find itself in the middle of the street.
I want a cocktail, but I am still on campus grading. But I will stop grading when Cody arrives here, and then we can go out and get a bite to eat. And then seeing Eddie Izzard tonight! Our first date in months.
oh, a cocktail, that sounds about right.
People, we are planning on Disney World the week of March 10. please start praying now.
It is taking me much longer than usual to grade work this year. Because I have 307 students. I cannot grade that many papers.
My AP students have been bitching about how long it takes for me to return homework, mostly behind my back to others. So I'm going to stop grading it, drop how much it is worth, use in class essays as 65% of their grade and be done What that means is instead of having grades padded by homework, they will suddenly have to stand on the strength of the writing. Which is worse for most of my students. Sorry. I'm not going to grade trifling things.
Ahhh... I'm going to go enjoy some Heliotrop wine.
I would make myself a cocktail but I'm waiting to get picked up to go to this reception. Sigh.
