I'd have argued less with my professors if they were able to give me jail time for contempt of class.
Funnily enough, even given that ability, I've spent more of my life arguing with judges than with professors.
Harrow: You didn't have to wound that man. Mal: Yeah, I know, it was just funny.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Ahahaha. Not even a month into the new mortgage, Fannie Mae bought it. (Last mortgage, it was Freddie Mac within a couple months.) Small fry mortgages. Also, almost caught up on my snail mail.
Pumpkin really missed me, she's been all over me. Loki is being a dork and either nipping my calves or hair...or ignoring me entirely.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
So many teachers are just waiting for someone to yell back at them.
If you're listening enough to yell about something then, hey, you're listening.

I realize I'm less interested in psychology than I am in neurology. I care less about people's actions and more about how the brain itself works.
I was always curious why the most fucked up people in college were psych majors.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
People get into psych because they want fix everybody else as a way of fixing themselves. says the psych major who didn't quite manage to finish her degree.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I got into psych by trying to figure out what the hell was wrong with everyone, including me. Says the OTHER psych major who didn't quite manage to finish that degree.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
ISTG. I always forget that my mother doesn't tell my father's family anything. It's a good thing I wasn't any more specific on Facebook, because I think I played it off ok....
ION, has anyone stripped wallpaper? How long does it take? Could I figure a day a room, assuming one layer of paper and medium sized rooms, a couple of which have panels on the bottom half?

Our wings are not tired.
So I am watching the live stream out of Miami of Diana Nyad finishing her swim. It is very confused and I don't even know how far out she is, except pretty close.

I have no idea on time (often it may depend on how well the wallpaper was put up in the first place) but I hear renting a steamer-thing (? I'm sure someone else knows better) is a good plan.

Oh, Jesse & Burrell, I'm sorry you & your families are having such a hard time. Much support to you both.
Me, I got to have brunch with Maria & Juliana & the Zmayhems yesterday, which was great fun (although I got terribly sunburned). Today I shall go for a bike ride, do some gardening, & go to a bbq at my sister's house. It's been a busy weekend.
On Saturday I saw Ian McKellen & Patrick Stewart on stage together. They were awesome, but the play, by Harold Pinter, was far too depressing for me.
