While leaving an Irish pub with some friends of mine tonight, an old guy who was also leaving leaned over to us and whispered conspiratorally, “Don’t tell anyone, I’m Scottish” and walked out. We laughed.

Well, according to the ol’ digital thermometer, I am mildly hypothermic. That’s fucking great.

Maybe I should get under the covers and try and warm up a little.

I think I am going to grad school to become a PA. I had an interesting chat at a bar with a friend of mine who was having trouble getting in to med school, and we talked about being PAs. It pays well, the job sounds very fulfilling, and there is much less stress than getting an MD.

i hate being hungry and not being able to figure out what i’d like to eat.

If you were truly hungry, you wouldn’t care. It sounds like you are only wussy hungry.

Teaching would be a lot more fun without the grading part.

You could burn the papers in protest.

It is kind of cold in here.

Try only grading :(

Junk food cures wussy hunger but that wasn’t cutting it today. Ended up going one step up from junk food and ordered a pizza.

A co-worker of mine bears an uncanny resemblance to the character I had in Tabula Rasa (yes, I was one of the hundred people to play that game). It creeps me out a little.

My character, for reference (note: my co-worker does not wear power armor):

Really, Mom, who starts a family calorie counting regime ON their daughter’s birthday? Everyone knows birthday calories and calories eaten at someone else’s house don’t count. :P

You forgot about liquid calories not counting, such as soup, beer and ice cream.

Oooohh, good point. Can I claim an ice cream cake as liquid calories?

Don’t forget calories that are ingested while walking!

Too weak. . . to gamble.

Tabula Rasa means, “Clean Slate”

I’ll take “Bizarre Punctuation” for $200, Alex.

I really hate when people in group emails respond only to you to snark at other group respondents. Send me a separate email, people. I don’t want to have to check five different times to make sure I am responding only to you. Also, it fucks up my gmail chain.

Well, we just found a medieval pendant coin while doing some gardening. Good day gets better.
