Hey, it's October! The date son my filenames don't need a leading zero on the months!

It's the little things.

There are protests going on at the University of Georgia, because homecoming is on Yom Kippur.

From the statement from the university:

The president already has directed his staff and the athletics department to inventory important holidays like Yom Kippur and to place them on the calendar several years out to help us avoid such a conflict in the future. Important holidays, such as Yom Kippur, are highlighted on the university's master calendar so that all can be aware of these dates when scheduling events.

That's right. From now on, they're going to use a calendar.

inventory important holidays

AKA, "read the fucking calendar there are Jewish people in Georgia YOU ASS."

That's right. From now on, they're going to use a calendar.

AMAZING!

I have to confess, my organization has an event this Friday night, scheduled last-minute, in conjunction with other organizations.

I am trying to work out how to justify going to the Art Wine and Chocolate Festival on Saturday rather than fasting. It'll probably just be something I will have to remember to be sorry about next year when the High Holidays look more convenient for me.

ETA in fact, I can put that on my calendar. Thanks for the tip, University of Georgia!

the mouseover text made me laugh outloud

Supersadface here: I am actually home ALL WEEK, so last night I went to the grocery store and bought a bunch of stuff, and made a huge (8X11) pan of breakfast strata....and this morning heated up the first piece...and it was AWFUL. I have no idea what went wrong with it (different bread would've been better, but I don't think would've completely fixed it, there were also some spice issues). Total waste of a whole bunch of asparagus and a dozen eggs! :(

Also I had creepy nightmares last night that were so realistic (in part of them I was in my bedroom, in bed, and woken up by awful things) that I had to get up and surf the internet for about 15 minutes before I could go back to sleep. And now I have a headache and am hoping the tylenol and coffee will make that go away. BOO today, I say!!

Total waste of a whole bunch of asparagus and a dozen eggs! :

That sucks! So disappointing.

Yeah. I'm thinking I will have to find a different recipe, scrap the current stuff into the compost, and go buy more eggs and maybe some frozen asparagus this time (the fresh stuff is too expensive, but I was lured by lovely produce!) I still have milk and cheese and turkey bacon I can use, so just need eggs and bread and veg.

Nilly, I too wish you could be here, more. But I always like your New Year's message. Strix, like I said, she's a pro, and I've been mindfucked by the best. Hope that moment of victory is worth leaving a snail's trail in your relationship, M.'s mother.
