I feel like that ostrich. I've been burying my head in the theatre work to escape the work for my major. As more and more stuff piles up, the deeper in the sand my head goes. It's becoming a problem.

I'm cheerfully avoiding work and pretending it doesn't exist.

No tips, but a SQUEE and a story about my friend's giant Newfoundland.

Oh poor baby.

Aw what a cute baby! I'm kind of surprised the shelter people would let her go to a new place in that kind of state, but I'm happy you can care for her.

I tried to make granola bars last year, and messed up when I altered the recipe. I ended up with a sticky mass of granola that I had to peel off the wax paper. I served it with a spoon and it actually turned out really yummy, but it was a frustrating experience.

The dried green mango. I can eat a package of that stuff in one go.

Star Trek Deep Space 9 has a very poignant episode that deals with death of friends in the middle of a war. "The Sound of her Voice" is one of the saddest pieces of TV I've come across.

I was completely down for this arrangement until I re-read things.

My favorite kind is done by a regional store; it's vanilla with caramel and praline. I will eat pretty much any ice cream you give me, however.

Would it be possible to just give them less than you give the kids?

You never have to touch it, and you can let it go somewhere far away.

Havahart traps!

I don't have rain gutters! I live in a dorm building.

Oh I'm so sorry. Have a good night with her, and I hope everything goes as well as it can possibly go.

It really does live up to the hype. The production values are fantastic. The writers are amazing, the actors kick ass and make you cry, and the cinematography is stellar. Definitely worth your time.

I interpreted the ending more as a small measure of redemption—certainly not enough to wipe out everything Walter has done, but enough to let us know that he is still human (which I think was getting rather lost for a while). I think that while Heisenberg is still very much present, that was a small way of letting us…

Yeah I was thinking that! Interesting way of bookending things. The first murder on the show and the last; both done in order to free people, however whereas Walter only got trapped more and more in what he made, Jesse was actually freed. Interesting contrast there.

I didn't expect the tears to be happy tears.

I was vegetarian for a semester, and I did have some trouble—I would basically get bad stomach cramps if I ate anything other than chicken (usually really greasy stuff was the worst—like sausage). That went went away once I stopped being veg, thank goodness.
