HA! I forgot that you did that! You also went to Gathering of the Juggalos, though, so everyone basically has free license to laugh at you forever anyway.

I haven't. I read the book. I've read all the books. I keep meaning to get my hands on a copy, and yet I never do. I did see Hogfather and part of The Colour of Magic. Are you a Pratchett fan? If so, what did you think of the adaptation?

Good to know, as I have both homemade ginger syrup and lemons in the kitchen right now.

Seriously Penny, I wasn't trash talking or encouraging it. SV asked why I had an aversion to watching the show with her as a judge and I told him honestly my experience with someone who is by all means considered 'a celebrity' put me off from watching to associate with her projects. I don't hate her, or want people to hate her, or even think she's a bad person. It feels like other people are placing a lot more meaning into my statements then are actually there.

People were discussing a well-known member of the community in a negative fashion. A moderator asked that it be stopped. I interpreted PD's gif response to Ang as "I hear you" not as a criticism of you or anyone else. I don't think there's anything else that needs to be said on the matter.

Hm. Job opening on campus. Not my title but one I could probably qualify for as a provisional. More money. Office I could possibly stand to work in. RESUME POWERS ACTIVATE.

And then my coworkers call me over to tell me there's a castle for sale in Bethpage (no there isn't) and it's only $500,000 and I should buy it. This is the listing. SEEMS LEGIT.

My misunderstanding. Thanks for clarification.

Wow, does it come with unicorns and dragons? If so, it's a steal at 500k

Glad you were amused! It's what "pitching yeast" made me think of. I have no idea how one actually pitches yeast. Perhaps you throw it at the batter?

The view outside - not really bad right now...but it's still cold.

Does it have a mote? You have to make sure you have a mote, otherwise defenestration of unwanted guests is a lot less fun.

In other news... do any of you all have a favourite newspaper or online journal columnist? My teacher gave us a recommended reading list of columnists (for possible writing-style analysis), but I was hoping to get some other ideas.

It doesn't say, but it IS described as the most awesomest house in the world, and therefore I can only assume unicorns and dragons come standard.
