Womack ,'The Message'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My feeling that I am the last person to see it was reinforced by my being the only person in the theater.
I am apparently going to be the last person. Sigh.
That sounds like a very positive environment, Kat!
ita, wish I were closer to go fetch stuff for you.
Kat, that sounds like a good fit for you!
Is it really not that obvious to people that instructions can be modified?
I don't think people are encouraged to think for themselves very much. And I suspect that the people with those cognitive abilities aren't going to post comments, because a) they already figured it out, and b) publicly indicating that you're capable of modifying a thing means suddenly you are tech support of said thing.
Or check out the Epicurious comments, where no one follows the recipe and is then surprised at what happens.
ita, I would seriously order you stuff to be delivered if you tell me what you want. And also your address.
I went to Mary Chung's and had delicious Chinese/Szechuan food with loud boisterous friends. Between this and the lively kids in the math tutoring, I feel like I'm at my public interaction limit for the week.
And, I did a really nice job of dummying up a Wordpress site for my friend's Humane Society group (the same people with the dog rescue business cards). That should give them a good idea of what is possible with a site upgrade (their site is copyright 2007 and built with Word). At any rate it was nice to take a bunch of off-the-shelf theme components and make them sit up and behave.
Now I have math homework -- well, going through the handout sheet the teacher passed out, because I haven't the faintest idea what the Foil Method for multiplying binomials is.

First Outside Inside Last, and I hate it, because students memorize it and then get totally screwed up when they don't have an acronym for how to multiply, say, a binomial by a trinomial, and I really wish they'd just teach "multiply each term by each other term."
yay Gud!
This planning workshop is making me hate my neighbors. Sigh.
I hope you have gotten some kind of sustenance, ita. I wish I was close enough to bring something by.
November is apparently cow season. Box o' meat is about half veal, half beef, and one pound of ground pork.
ita, I just came back online and saw your message. Kids are heading to bed, so let me know if you still need someone to run out and get some stuff for you.
