I am not arguing about bands I've never heard of on the internet.

I have to leave at 4 today to try and find a 59 or 55 bus to Midway.

haha No, there's no arguing! Just listing. It's a lot like arguing, only quietly passive-aggressive.

Ahh, that must be it. I am more...aggressive-aggressive.

i just walked back from lunch at it is fucking bone-rattling cold out there. it's supposed to be even colder tomorrow? fuck, looks like i should've saved my flannel-lined pants for then.

otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:26 (seventeen years ago) link

It is cold! It's glorious! Yay cold! Booo 60 degree raining weather in December. That's some NC shit, there.

I'm sorry that you are under dressed though, Dan. I did that yesterday - I dressed for the day's high but neglected to factor in the precipitous drop in temperature forecast to happen before I finished my night class.

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:30 (seventeen years ago) link

I thought I was being smart by wearing a lighter jacket because the weather in Nashville has been in the 70s... but I just checked the forecast again and it's supposed to snow there this weekend! I'll believe it when I see it. Plus I have a chook and I'm a Yooper, so I'll be fine.

My coat is good to like -40 degrees.

Jeff... (Jeff...), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:39 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, I'm decked out in the coat you gave me, and it's juuuust fine out there. I forgot the gloves Dan gave me, though. Tomorrow.

whoop de doodle (kenan), Thursday, 30 November 2006 19:41 (seventeen years ago) link

My real winter coat is probably at about that level, and my back-up/bar coat Carhartt is the warmest most bulletproof thing ever. Too bad the cat puked on it >:(

I like everything about that except for "very windy."

The temp in my office is roughly FIFTY DEGREES. Mother of pearl it is COLD in here.

Tomorrow is my SATURDAY! Yay. I would love some brandy-laced coffee right now.

Laurel, you can talk about bands that we've never heard of, like Subway Sect.

I'm going to the grocery store when I get home today and then I'm going to do dishes and tidy up the house because tomorrow all I'm doing is staying inside and studying and drinking coffee.

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:14 (seventeen years ago) link

Around 6 pm I plan to start tipping booze into that coffee.

Me too me too except maybe I will make some more cookies. I made the butter-cookie-with-Andes-mint-inside cookies on Sunday and I have some dough left. They also have a melted Andes mint drizzle on top.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i really REALLY wish i wasn't working tomorrow. and i really, REALLY, REALLY wish i wasn't covering for someone tomorrow because otherwise i'd bang in. instead i'm going to have to fight through the snow and not drink tonight.

otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:21 (seventeen years ago) link

at least you won't be working on saturday, and i will.

Man oh man those cookies sound good.

No, that's two in-class exams, one take home exam, and a 30 page paper due in the next two weeks.

Is there going to be TT next week? I reckon I could be up for something like that.

In-class exams are so much more humane than take-homes. GIT 'ER DONE.

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:32 (seventeen years ago) link

i hope so because i'm going to try to take the 8th off and get my christmas shopping done. might as do it hungover, eh?

Laurel (Laurel), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:36 (seventeen years ago) link

I looooved take-home exams, mostly because I've always liked essay-style tests over short answers/multiple choice/etc. Also I am a masochist when it comes to schoolwork, I guess.

danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:36 (seventeen years ago) link

We had hot toddies last night!

What is zune?

Amanda, did you notice I made pumpkin bread? I'm so proud of my newfound cooking abilities. You should post recipes on the blog more often so I can try some out. I made your fruit crisp back when you posted it...or emailed it to me... can't remember.

I'm so jealous of the staying in tomorrow! On the other hand, I get to break out my snow boots.

I remember when we first moved here and it snowed alot and I was thinking, Wow! They must get a ton of snow days here! Then I learned that most places never close due to snow and I cried and cried.

I'll be up for TT next week, but also yous guys could come to our show for free and drink there Monday.

I hate take-homes. for lazy people like me, in-class is always better.

OTM

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:39 (seventeen years ago) link

In-class can still be essay. It's just that you don't have to spend your home-time writing it.

I did notice that you made pumpkin bread. I'm glad you have discovered that cooking isn't that hard (it's not) -- you just need to have the ingredients and desire to put them together. Yay! I use the J of C basic cookie recipe for cookies and then adapt as I please. Usually I am too lazy to type it out and post though. :(

Armando Grouse (Armando ), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:40 (seventeen years ago) link

horseshoe, it's at the empty bottle.
sarah, i'll be there unless i fall asleep on my couch when i get home from work like i have the last 3 mondays.

are mondays still $1.25 pbr nights at the bottle?

otto midnight (otto midnight), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:42 (seventeen years ago) link

I just felt more confident, like I had more time to digest the questions and make sure I had my ducks in a row with take-homes. Plus I'm starting to think I'm dyslexic or something, so the extra time was handy.

This was mainly for my Social Sciences/Humanities classes... hard science take-homes are always NASTY.

xpost: I'm gonna try to make it too if this weekend doesn't kill me.

danno martinez (danno martinez), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Oh oh I could maybe make the FF show! Matt's playing with BR1GHT0N MA at Sub-T, so our usual Monday night practice has been moved to Sunday.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

I can totally make it on Monday. yay!

horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, I know what you mean about having more time to digest, but if I'm given a lot of time, I'll TAKE a lot of time, and then my whole day is gone before I know it. One reason why I hate writing sometimes.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:46 (seventeen years ago) link

John, are you me?

horseshoe (horseshoe), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:47 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm going to check out Joy of Cooking soon.

I use the same basic muffin recipe from a betty crocker cookbook all the time and I love how versatile it can be.

I don't know about the pbrs...

Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I'm glad you guys might be able to make it! Woo hoo! Apparently there is a little blurb in the reader about it. It's all about MMen, but it's still awesome they wrote something about the show. :-D

Calico (calico), Thursday, 30 November 2006 20:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, horseshoe, we've established this.

jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 30 November 2006 21:00 (seventeen years ago) link

Most of my exams are essay, in class or out. In-class exams take three hours (I have never NOT needed at least 2:45 for an exam) and are usually one to three questions long and are sometimes closed book. Plus I have to hand write my exams and the longest one I've ever written took up THREE blue books. BRUTAL.

Take home exams are like fucking cake, comparatively. I prefer a take home exam or full on paper over an in-class exam any day.

Lance Rock (pullapartgirl), Thursday, 30 November 2006 21:11 (seventeen years ago) link

With inclass exams I like the idea that everyone is writing the exam in their own handwriting, which these days seems a little quaint. (And eliminates the possibility of cheating.)
I also love looking at other people's handwriting as mine veers increasingly toward old-lady chicken scratch.

Sarah if you don't get the JoC I will buy it for you for your wedding. How's that?
