What's on your mind today?

I think it's great if you can use your experience to get a new job that you enjoy while you finish your program.  Good luck!!!

I'm thinking of the tasty Greek-Lebanese restaurant we're going to to celebrate our one year court house anniversary.

I'm at the O2 arena in London watching 'Diversity' from a VIP box provided by my wifes work. Free drinks are flowing...

I'm having a jolly nice time

Turning slightly green with envy...

Huzzah for free drinks!  I am going to my inlaws' tonight.  I imagine there will be wine or cocktails, but I have to help get ready for Passover, so I wouldn't call them free.

I have chocolate soy milk.

It's surprisingly fun thinking about different saying in languages and then thinking what's an equivalent in some other language.

For example, the Finnish equivalent for "gut feeling" would be "perstuntuma / persetuntuma". "Tuntuma" (from the word tuntea) translates as "feeling", while "perse" (pers- being a shortened slang verion) means ass or butt.

I wonder if I could get away with a poor pun about trusting final products rather then the process....I doubt it.



Just to cheer your day. Or in my case, night. Almost 3am in here. Time to go and get some sleep...

Amusingly got the most wicked bellyache from drinking too much soy milk.

For example, the Finnish equivalent for "gut feeling" would be "perstuntuma / persetuntuma".

The expression "intestinal fortitude," I've heard it many times but never thought much about it.  The gist of it was pretty obvious but until today I'd never figured out it was just a snobby way of saying guts.

I like the expression a friend of mine uses. When he wants to say a woman has 'guts' or 'intestinal fortitude', he says she has brass ovaries.

Computer issues. I'm up late doing some work online like usual, then my net connection suddenly went down, said it couldn't connect to the DNS server. I rebooted, hoping that would fix it... no luck. So I rebooted my router. Nada. Then my modem. Nada. Very stupidly tried to do a system restore on my laptop, thinking maybe the last Windows update had screwed something up. Doing that was a big mistake, because now it boots to my usual login screen, and then after I type in my password, the screen just loads to black. Argh.

Booted in safe mode. Finally discovered I could connect to the internet after I tried rebooting everything AGAIN, and finally got back online...

But I don't know why it won't let me load up my usual desktop. Working in safe mode with networking now, trying to get the blasted thing fixed. I have a student in 5 hours, I need Skype by then.

Well, I guess it could be used instead of brass balls.

Going for a nice walk and then catch some lunch at a local joint. They have this AMAZING Buffalo Chicken sandwich that truely is the BEST I've ever had. I'll even top it off with an ice cold lager Probably Sam Adams or Yuengling........
