I'd also like to make some more caramel, a few cookies and perhaps a cupcake or a dozen. Sound good? Come on over when you can.
Can I come over?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Heading to Atlanta for GaFilk this weekend. Need to pack, though it won't take that long.(Just have to decide which t-shirts to bring, and which matching earrings)

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
For those of you who have been taking these online courses what services have you found to be the best? I'd really like to find a good foundational accounting class to take. Coursera has one that looks good but it's not currently in session and there was no information about when it would be offered again.
I've so far done Coursera (Dino 101) and EdX (Chinese history and Intro to Computer Science). The quality of learning in both cases is excellent; I'm finding the Chinese history course to be most insightful of the three. As to the interfaces, I think the EdX interface is probably more sophisticated, but I often find it tricky to navigate. I found Coursera to be easier.
Both Dino 101 and Chinese history have been good about breaking information into manageable chunks and interspersing assessment, though from what Hil says, Udacity may be better on this. The Intro to Computer Science is a different beast, the lectures being the videotaped lectures in front of a class of Harvard freshpersons. (Probably not coincidentally, I find myself taking notes on almost everything in the lectures of the first two courses, but can be more discriminating for the last one.)
I haven't seen any accounting courses being currently offered on either platform, I'm afraid.

You sort of can't avoid it when you've drilled in it so much.
That's what I figured. I never participated in any drama, speech, debate-type activities, so I never had that kind of training. Also, I wish I'd asked for piano lessons. There's a list.

I wish I hadn't quit piano lessons (or can I blame it on my parents for letting me quit? hmmm) and I really wish we had a piano now. I would love to play now.
Kat, I'm walking, so look for me in ... two weeks?

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I do too.

Ooh! If you find out the next time they bring him in to St. Louis for training, I'll make sure to say hi.

I've never had panna cotta! Even after all these years watching Top Chef.
