Correspondence
Dear Facebook Friend Acquaintance,
I can't imagine why, in the midst of what must have been a horrendous argument, you decided it would be appropriate to post a relationship status change from married to single, and change your online name as well, only to switch everything back 12 hours later once you and your spouse had patched things up.

Baking
Note to self:
Unbaked cookies, even ones with oatmeal, are not heavy enough to force flat the silicone mat that you have kept rolled up in a drawer for several years.
In other words: The mat, if bigger than the cookie sheet you put it on, will almost certainly go back to its default, rolled shape, even with the cookie dough on it. -

Circular reasoning
It is hot, so I have the fan on.
The fan blows air across my ear, which gives me a headache.
So I turn the fan off, which makes me hot.
Now I am hot AND I have a headache.
So I turn the fan on ...

Someday ...
I'd like to go the airport, slap my credit card on the counter, and say, "Book me on the first flight out of here. I don't care where it's going."
And do the same at the next airport, and the next, and the next, until my credit ran out.
I wonder how far I could get? -
(If only they accepted) The Reality Show
Just finished watching another round of auditions on American Idol. It's like America's greatest renewable resource*: there are always new, more horrible people auditioning and I am constantly surprised by just how awful they are. Plus, no one ever wants to admit that the reason they don't move on is because they suck.
No, instead they must ( Read more... ) -

List 1: 5 Things I will never do again
1) teach an entirely discussion-based course to a mixed class of undergrads
2) buy that Skillet Dinner Chicken Teriayki
3) have class presentations on a day when I cannot write notes about the presentations immediately afterward [sub note: what was I thinking?]

Dear Crazy Neighbours,
If, in fact, you don't want the entire neighbourhood 'in your business' ...
MAYBE you shouldn't shout it into your telephone while standing out on your balcony.
Just a thought.
Sincerely,

p.s. Could you also move your exorcism inside? Kthxbye.

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig
I have received a few enquiring emails from friends wondering if my trip is over, as there's been nothing posted in the LJ for a few days.
It's true! I am home. It just never ocurred to me that I should post about that, as it is probably the least interesting part of the trip, lol!
And of course, there's always so much to do after two weeks away: ( Read more... )
