Sayeth Ajay, in a thread on Making Light:
A euro is a nocturnal marsupial of the kangaroo family, just over a metre long and weighing up to 35 kg (80lb). It is highly adapted to desert living and requires little food or water to survive. It makes a loud hissing noise.
Yes, it is. Really.
An apology to my fellow northeasterners
I’m so sorry. I should have known better. I don’t know what I was thinking.
I just wanted a nice winter coat, something that would keep me warm when it’s 10F and windy. Something that wasn’t the goofy blue parka I’ve had since I was a high school sophomore. I wanted it, and I failed to consider the consequences of my actions.
The temperature yesterday was in the sixties. In New Hampshire. In January. And the only conclusion I can draw is that, much like it doesn’t rain if you only remember to bring an umbrella, my purchase of a winter coat has jinxed our chance for proper winter weather.
I am so sorry.
From the NYT:
David Walentas, a realtor in NYC, is shocked that women earn money, buy property, and (get this) write checks!
He also sees more married women writing the $60,000-to-$100,000 deposit checks. “It’s the women’s checks,” he said. “It’s not like a dual account — Joe and Suzy. It’s Suzy. I’m amazed.”
Idiot.
For those who would like it, my current wishlist is living at the usual spot. That will be all.
Classes! And other things that eat my sanity.
I have classes. Twenty credits, no less. Senior Thesis, Abnormal Psych, Topology, Twentieth Century:1900-1944, and a (graduate) seminar in stereopsis. Yes, that’s twenty credits. Yes, I’m nuts. Here’s the schedule. Also, I’m working Mondays and Fridays at the SSC until about 5:30, and there’s ultimate practice Tuesday and Thursday, middle of the day, and there’s pickup Wednesday and Friday afternoons, and I meet with my thesis advisor every Wednesday (and probably another day too, once we get organized), and I’m stage managing a show that’s going up the first week of October, so I’m at rehearsal two evenings a week.
It’s okay, though, cause in October I’ll only be at the Science Center one day a week, and the show will be up so I won’t have rehearsal to go to, and after October the SSC will be on winter hours and I won’t be working there hardly at all, and so as classes get intense, I can devote more time to them.
Arrr!-gyle Socks! I am so making these between now and mid-September.
