fast hard blowing drifting

it's snowing here. and quite remarkably, while people do slow their rolls on the roads, they do not shop for the makings for french toast when a snow advisory is on. nataki used to always wonder why people in the midatlantic shopped for eggs, bread, + milk (and t.p.) when forecasters predicted snow.

boy. am i ever lucky to have a CRV to drive. i am not joking. i am totally serious. i just put the key in and go. i remember how when i used to drive my other two hand-me-down cars, i would have to wait and wait for the engine to warm. the CRV is always already ready to go.

i met my new colleague on-line today. the other woman who is going to miami. she seems awfully nice. i liked it that she sent me an email.

why do trader joe's meatless meatballs taste better than the meatful meatballs?

a student in CAAS made me tear up after class today because she said some impressive things while we talked and walked privately. (and the moon isn't even full). i have been trying to figure out how to tell one of the men that he needs to clip the tag off his suit jacket. twice this month, he has arrived to class in a very nice looking suit. except he keeps a small label identifying the fiber content on the left sleeve. how do i tell him to ditch it? i feel obligated to because he is interviewing in the B-school. he needs to send the message that he is accustomed to wearing suits. he looks good in his suit, but not with the tag. neesha, who is a diva trip, told me to just tell him and all that he needs to remove it. julius and don said that i need to get another man in class to take him aside and mention it privately without mentioning me. sounds like a plan, but his pal is the one who is the alleged gynecologist. i think that i will lean on one of my kappas or my phi beta sigma man.

i will not testify at lewis scooter libby's trial.

in my large lecture class, students and GSIs (a.k.a. TAs) are sleeping through their alarms. it is that time of the year.

i used the word niggardly in conversation today appropriately and without offense. j b-w you would have been proud.

tomorrow despina is going to lecture about barbie architects. june is defending her diss. and i am aiming to get my hair cut. i scoped your place, l-j gh, but i wasn't wearing black or white so i went to acme mercantile instead to buy two more pairs of reading glasses. the shop keeper there was very very professional and sympathetic.
