Harmony ,'First Date'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
It's that special time of year in the House o' Reason where Pete taunts me about the existence of my birthday present. I DON'T WANT TO WAIT 13 DAYS TO FIND OUT. WAIT YES I DO? AAAAAUGH.
This is his favorite thing about gift-giving. Watching me flail and stomp my feet with impatience. He's lucky he's adorable.
Careful, he'll loom.
I put two spaces after a period, because that's how I learned to type and I don't feel like unlearning it. All the math stuff I type is in LaTeX, though, so it doesn't matter how many spaces I put in.
Things I hate about winter: having to blow-dry my hair so that I won't freeze while it air dries.
I don't know if I could stop putting two spaces after a period. I've been typing this way for over 20 years. Isn't that the reason that we haven't changed the keyboard setup? It's too hard to reteach people how to type! :)

I use LaTex in my job all the time. I have dreamed about LaTex. Those were not happy dreams.

This caused me to remember my EDLIN nightmares.
And then there was the guy who "recreated" our document styles in LaTeX, rather than just sending us a Word file or PDF. Good times, good times.
Ages ago, when word processing was still new, after I'd saved a file and done a print-out for review, the guy reviewing it did a CUT AND PASTE-UP of the print-out. So I had to go in and rekey the whole thing all over again. (of course, he didn't understand why I was a bit, shall we say, short with him)
The next person to point me to a news story, and then show me how much more sensitive he is by writing "Where's the outrage?" is going to meet my new Louisville Slugger, Outrage. I'm just saying.(and it's always the same guy, too,the kind of old libertine that wants to show how he "loves all women" by looking meaningfully at my tits.) Because there's just so much *crap* every day that I have to act intellectual about some of it, or I'd be prowling around here like Alanis on Heisenberg's finest(more than I do, that is)
