I haven't looked into any of those, but that's a good idea. Thanks.

Now how could I find that discouraging? ;)

Oh, I'm not. Anecdotally, I have heard of a lot of people who didn't get in this year. I was a good candidate, and I presented myself the best I could, but I'm sure there were lots of good and great candidates that also applied.

I'm looking at teaching abroad for a year or two, which will strengthen my application if I decide to apply again (I want to teach high school ESL). And yeah, that means we would have broken up eventually. It's still a bummer, even though I agree we weren't totally compatible as a couple. At least I have friends who…

How the fuck is Cheerios more delicious than Golden Grahams? Golden Grahams is everything.

I read somewhere on the internet (so it must be true) that he got a baldness surgery in the '80s where they removed the bald top of his scalp and sewed the sides together in the middle. That theory, however dubious its origins, fits the growth pattern he seems to have going on. At this point, he'd be better off…

In a good way, though.

It was cancelled! Thank you, poop cruise. (See Sean's tour de force linked above for more details.)

I'm intrigued. Just requested it from the library.

But Charlotte didn't die because she gave everything to Wilbur. She died because she's a spider, and they don't live very long. She just spent her life helping a friend, which is exactly what she wanted to do.

"Happy People" by R. Kelly. I know, I KNOW. I can't listen to his sexier stuff because I know it's secretly directed toward teenagers. But this one is lovely.

As someone who married the first one, I second this whole-heartedly.
