take care to put a pillow on the table first BEFORE you bang your head against it.
It would be a much better use of that pillow to smother the person who just used downgrowth.
You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
To add to the joy of today, I just spilled about twenty ounces of bright red soft drink in my car. Guess I'm getting that cleaned tomorrow.

I'm watching the videos for the Coursera course I'm taking on Foundations of Virtual Instruction. These videos were obviously filmed in the instructor's home. I keep getting distracted by the pomeranian in the background.

I am doing a Coursera class right now, and I know the instructor, so I know he filmed the videos in his daughters' closet. You'd never know to look at them, though! I am also oddly obsessed by his shirts. He wears the same shirt for each week's lectures, then changes for the following week.

Anyone want to do some shopping for me? I need patio furniture, now that I have a patio! It's slate stone and has a wood planterbox around the edges that are not my house/the walkway. I want something that is very waterproof (hi, Seattle--I can put some of it (fabric covers?) away, but most of it will need to stay outdoors), and isn't super cheap looking, but isn't massively expensive either. Preferably some sort of chairs and table situation--I'd like it to not be too bit (because the patio is small, and mostly it'll be me and my laptop outdoors working or eating), but also able to move/accomodate others. I'm thinking of getting the below fire-thing, for warmth and pretty:
or like this:
I was hoping things would be on clearance sale, but I think I missed the window--there's still grills for sale, but nowhere in town can I find furniture.

Not only is Snopes a well-known liberal website, according to the guy I know who often cites the Center For Western Journalism*, Wikipedia also has a clear bias.

Question for those teaching college (for a character):
If I have a 33 or 34-year-old guy who's a chemist, and I want him teaching at the college level, what kind of degrees does he need to have? Is that too young to be teaching college? Or would it make more sense to have him in a research department?

Amy - could he be a TA, second year into a PhD, someone who decided to go back to get his degree a little late?
