I hate these shorter days. My body wants to sleep all the time. Too bad our society is anti-sleep. I can understand not condoning hibernation, but we could at least compromise by allowing siestas.
Well, guess I won't be getting married any time soon. Fucking measure 36. I didn't think Oregon would jump on the "let's put inequality in the Constitution" bandwagon. So disappointing.
This means I am over "scary hurdle #1" and that I am officially a Ph.D. candidate instead of a provisionary Ph.D. student. Now I have orals to look forward to. (Oral examinations . . . the "look forward to" was pure sarcasm . . . get your minds out of the gutter.)
26 kids fresh from high school and the shelter of mommy and daddy (or mommy and stepdaddy, or mommy and mommy, or what-have-you.) Any way you look at it, 26 young and eager psyches. And, for three hours a week, I am in charge. BWA-HA-HA-HA!
Who am I kidding? They'll teach me 10 times what I teach them. I am sooooooo glad to be teaching... Read More
So I'm driving in traffic today when this asshole pulls out in front of me and cuts me off so abruptly that I narrowly avoid hitting him. This wasn't an accident as he looked directly at me and made eye contact before doing it.

Christ, and I thought traffic jams in the rain were bad.

I'm back! I'm back! The stressful event that has been hanging over my head all summer . . . well, all year, is over. Now I have a whole weekend of vacation before I have to start actually doing school work.
Hello! I just gave a remarkably bad-tempred reply to your comment in the gyro thread. Sorry. It's interesting you chose the ough combination for sounds; I use that example for pronunciation quite often. It's also quite useful to explain why pronunciation over the internet is tricky. I can think of seven pronunciations for ough (cough, rough, bough, through, though, thorough, hic-cough) and I know some Americans pronounce some of those the same.
Things are hella stressful right now, so I'm going to try to make myself scarce and get some things done instead of sitting around looking at gorgeous women all day. No, really, I am!
Yes - we have Dr. Pepper in the Land of Oz -- i am actually sipping some right now. It is a little hard to come by here also ... but where there's a will (cum addiction), there's a way
You are the only person on SG who has "Rabbit-Proof-Fence" listed as a favourite film (well as far as I have seen). Now it's MY turn to express transnational-based (?) surprise! I didn't realise many people outside of Australia saw/took to that film ...
