Yes.

I received this e-mail from one of my students. I have to ask myself, "WTF?" Seriously...in what universe is it OK to send this kind of email to your prof?

Also, this is the funniest thing I've seen in a while. I love the Internets:

I got a dog! I named her "Mika" (mee-kah). She is about a 7-pound, 3-year-old dog I rescued. They know for sure she's a miniature schnauzer, but they also think that she's mixed with yorkie because she's really small to be straight mini schnauzer.

She is soooo sweet but I have my work cut out for me because she refuses to leave my kitchen (oh, please! I live in an alcove for crying out loud!) and doesn't walk on a leash (like, won't move). We don't know what her past is like, because she was found in a corn field with her hair all matted and skinny and scared :( She LOVES crawling on your lap and snuggling, though, and is potty trained and LOVES her crate, which is usually the hardest part of the training. I also have yet to hear her bark. B*itch woke me up at 5:30 this morning, but I'll forgive her because it makes me go running in the morning!

It's birthday season! Today's shoutout goes to LAUREN, who is...what...26 today? We're getting so damn old I can't keep it all straight. Anyway, Happy Birthday!!!

Introducing Everything We Eat

Rock and I were inspired on Saturday night, and I was further inspired as I realized that I could certainly benefit from displaying my food choices as well. I'm the only person that posted so far, but I have three full days on there now.

If you too would like to join, just let me know - Rock and I picked the people that gave Sig more of a hard time :D

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIGNE!

My "garden". On the bottom left is cilantro, strawberries, oregano, thyme, mint, peppers and basil. So far nothing has died, which is good...but I'll keep you updated about that. The basil is actually flourishing, so I think I'll have to concoct a pistachio or cashew pesto sometime soon. The flowers all came off the tomato plant, so I'm a little worried that it's not getting enough sun, but one of the tomatoes is getting ripe which is totally getting me excited. The strawberries are unbelievably good...I don't even want to buy them in a store anymore. The plant doesn't produce a ton of them, but it's decorative and an excellent treat now and then. Apparently it will continue producing through the winter too. Anyway, not particularly interesting, but I'm excited. :)
