a book a month is a great idea. I should do that with my tbr shelves.

Natter 71: Someone is wrong on the Internet
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.
found out that one of my advisees possibly plagiarized. this is a student who is in the middle of writing a dissertation. I am hoping that such plagiarism took place during the dissertation proposal and NOT on the major exam student had to complete before becoming a doctoral candidate. If it is the former, I can handle it in such a way that it may not need to go t a disciplinary committee. if it is the latter, the student may have to do a 4 month exam process all over again.
I haven't heard all the details yet, but maybe this needs to go through a disciplinary committee any way.
God. I don't need this bullshit.
pumpkin pie is in the oven and the broken up pumpkin muffins are in there also to get dried out more.
I fixed an earring, sorted the paper piles that were multiplying and found out the Call the Midwife special started 30 minutes earlier than I thought. Watching it now.
I figured out why writing one to the boss feels wrong. I bought the gifts. If he had given me anything other than what I bought and wrapped for the directs, then yes. Also, this was with company money. so no, I think no card for him.
Also, we finished off Christmas with my cousins I hadn't seen earlier, and one of them is pregnant! I'm excited, because I was starting to worry -- I knew she wanted to have kids and they've been married two years, so.

Oh yeah, no.
In other last-gasp-of-Christmas news, my four year old cousin LOVED the blanket I got her! I thought it was a weird present, but it's pink and cozy and has her name on it, and she was totally into it.
Somewhat similarly: today is my sister's birthday, and when I called I was all braced to apologize for not getting her anything because I know I thought of a good gift but I have been racking my brains for days trying to remember what it was to no avail. The first thing she says is how much she likes the gluten-free Asian cookbook I got her and it's a good thing because it was delivered really early and she's been waiting so long to open it. My brain, so unreliable, but sometimes makes the good decisions even if I can't remember having done so.
Niiice!
