    I'm just sad that I apparently don't look as scary as I did the last time I flew... I got patted down, scanned and hand swabbed three times last time! Maybe the flight to DC in July will be more entertaining in the TSA line.

    dawg, i love dogs. look at those guys.
    one of my favorite parts of my job is walking around the desk to greet the dogs when they are sitting there looking up at me like that. waiting for me to grab their big, dumb heads and give them some love. heart=melt. (and i don't mean that they are dumb, it's that innocence about them when they are totally trusting of people. that's what makes the difference a lot of time when dogs are deemed 'aggressive.' a lot of times they are just scared.) anyway, love dogs. :)

    I was thinking that same thing. In that particular instance the solid colour page in the book my 5 year in pink is using was done my almost 4 year old a bit earlier. The 5 year old fills in the lines quite neatly and with a wide assortment of colours. She told me earlier that day that I was using the wrong colour for Dora's shoes when I started to use brown or blue I think it was.

    Just got a call from daughter #2 who let me know that there is a spring festival at the German-American Association tomorrow.
    Also known for its epic Oktoberfests which I have enjoyed immensely the last two years.
    Guess that means I'll get up early to study for finals and we'll mosey on over there around 5 or so.
    Weissbier for the win!

    Mmmm. I wish the beer festival was this weekend. Alas, it is next weekend.

    We were going to go out with the graduate students tonight but my husband is still under the weather so that looks unlikely. It's a shame. I like the graduate students.
     
  7. 1) Mmmm Weissbier
    2) Never really been a big fan of dogs, but I had fun with my friend's Boston Terrier last night. Also, Stanley is kind of cute.
    3) noodle I have learned that if you take a cane on the plane, people are SUPER nice to you. You get asked if you would like to be "driven" to your gate. You get to board first. People don't rush you either. Take a cane next time...you may actually get felt up if they sense you don't really need a cane. Even though I don't use mine anymore, I may use it when I fly to Ohio in May for the extra attention.
    4) I don't remember what 4 was, but I bet it was epic.

    noodle, you totally need a cane and a pimp hat. Then you can slap your way to the front of the line.

    I'm beginning the first step of several in a long-overdue excavation of my office/library/study/den/cave.

    It's sort of a holy-shit-I-still-have-this-sitting-around-in-here? why-is-that? kind of thing.

    Also: it doesn't take much for 88 square feet to seem smaller than it needs to be.

    If you actually meant the Literary Review of Canada and Quill & Quire, then yes.

    John Galt is the anti-vegan. Omaha Steaks, Inc. lives at 10909 John Galt Blvd in Omaha Nebraska.

    A meat company is hardly anti-vegan. Vegans would merely just avoid that stuff. Simple.

    A true anti-vegan, now, would be a secret organization that operates a huge multinational front organization that appears to be the be-all and end-all of vegan cuisine. Except the food would only appear vegan. It would instead all contain eggs, meat, and dairy.

    This would probably require conspiring with the government and certain health organizations. Though I believe it would be feasible.

    Are you cuddling with yourself and smoking a cigarette....?

    Apparently, in New Zealand, you can die from drinking too much Coke. I'm sure that the decedent's lack of any resemblence of a healthy lifestyle is merely a minor, trivial detail....
