Caryn Law:

It was TribalFest 10 in Sebastapol, California. Does she dance with a troupe at all? Where at? We may have run into each other and not known it! I dance with Skin Deep in Seattle.

She used to dance in a small troupe in Pittsburgh, but took a break when we had a kid and hasn’t completely gotten back up to speed yet.

For the past thirty minutes, the goddamn Attorney General of Connecticut has made my life very, very annoying. If you’re going to start backtracking on a career of falsehoods, please DON’T DO IT IN FRONT OF ONE OF OUR POSTS, YOU TURDBURGLAR!

(no offense meant to any actual burglars of turds)

My mind ran that sentence together into one horrific image of someone just devouring dvd’s by the truckload.

Storm chasing again tomorrow, will base around the Tex/OK border on I-35 and see what happens from there. Shaping up to be a pretty active day.

Awesome! Congratulations.

My wife and I just had our first a month ago.

We’ve managed to keep it alive for four weeks already. I find this… surprising!

Great news! You totally snuck in the tax credit for 2010!*

*This was snark, because it’s Qt3. Happy thoughts & congrats towards Mr. & Ms. Balut.

Congratulations balut and XPav!

Rimbo · 2010-05-19T00:57:24.000Z

congratulations dads-to-be!

Hans_Lauring · 2010-05-19T02:26:52.000Z

Thanks for totally overshadowing my spoiled brat whining with proper good news.

Congrats both of you.
I second what Xtien said. Do stuff together now - we did a week in Tunesia when my wife was 7 months pregnant… and our next vacation sans children was 3 days in Rome 6 years later.

Nellie · 2010-05-19T02:37:13.000Z

Grats Balut and Xpav, may your nights be sleepless.

That sounds oddly familiar…

Oh and congrats to both of you!

Another phone interview with HP. This time with bonus behavioral questions.

I think it went O.K… but the Sony job seems more promising to me, as I was actually talking with the guy who runs the department, and not some HR person.

You’re walking through the desert. You look down and see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise on its back, Jon. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over but it can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping, Jon. Why is that?

Because sun dried tortoise belly is delicious?
