it's amazing how much taste a celery seed has

[cornerofmadness]

They're one of the smallest seeds in the plant world but one bit and it's all celery all the time. I'm contemplating that as I drink my post grading bloody mary. I am furious with these students

Mom- you always say that

Me - this final I got lazy, 40 of the 70 questions were word for word from their homework assignment.

Mom - Oh...

Me- and look at this one from yesterday's tests. This clinical condition is characterized by having both ovaries and testicles. What is that Mom

Mom - herma...you know that greek god one.

Me - she answered FEMALE.

Mom - did you ask her where her testicles were

Me - I should. And she's praticing. I KNOW which hospital she works at.

Mom - don't go there.

Me - I should stop putting vodka in sauces and just drink it.

Mom - you should.

And so I am.

We did have our holiday party today. I missed 90% of it since I had a final but at least I got to hang out a little and talked to some students I don't even know. I will say I am more than a little annoyed that the solitary vegetarian was whining about meat when at least four of us made strictly veggie dishs just for her.

My cats did amuse me today. Well last night, Soul was slapping water in the tub and nearly fell in (the drain needs unclogged so it's taking forever to drain). I get out, I hear scrabbling nails then SPLASH. He just sat there stunned then the flailing began.

This morning he and Kanda were taking turns coiling into springs then leaping to see who could get the highest on the wall. This was not my favorite game. And I have long been wondering why my broom is falling apart. I never see it happen when i sweep up litter but Soul keeps getting strands which he LOVES to attack all over the house. Well I caught him at it tonight. He's PULLING them out of the broom on his own, brat.

Fuck testicles, WHERE IS MY PENIS? I hear those come in handy now and again.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

the world could be our toilet. That would be handy

Is this your way of letting us know your Christmas list?

[enemytosleep]

No, because I assume my flist is so organized to have bought and shipped my xmas gifts by August. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

hahahaha well in some cases I could have

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

I swear, in the past year that I have been reading about your students I don't think they can get any stupider and they keep making me wrong. -_- Never going to a hospital in Ohio ever because of who I might get.

Oh Soul, you are so strange.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I would love to return to PA or WI. I would.

he is a freak

Me - she answered FEMALE.

/facepalm. How can she being a working nurse and not know that females don't have nutsacks?

I will say I am more than a little annoyed that the solitary vegetarian was whining about meat when at least four of us made strictly veggie dishs just for her.

Ah, yes. The old, "I'm entitled because I'm different, and my beliefs/needs/wants are more important than YOURS!" attitude. Makes you just want to give them a good smack, doesn't it?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

How can she being a working nurse and not know that females don't have nutsacks?

Do you even WANT to really know that?

yes, exactly. 2-3 years ago she was never very vocal about it. More and More she's reminding me of Sheldon, it's all good if we're all doing what SHE wants. it's getting like that whenever all of us go out.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I've run into that attitude before, and yes, it does.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

If I had exterior plumbing, I understand my general health would be better down there.

I don't want cats. I don't want cats.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

probably so

you DO. you even scored as a cat person

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*nod nod* Though I understand it's harder to check for cancer down there. Hmmm.

I DO NOT WANT KITTIES. Unless they're of the sabretooth variety. That could be interesting. Oh, wait! Cheetahs. They're intriguing. Speaking of which, we watched a program with Bengal cats and what's the other one you like, from Egypt? That's about as crazy as a Bengal?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

or deadly painful to hear them tell it

Abbyssians? they're lovely.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Wusses.

Is that it? The sort of sandy brown undercoat with darker shadings on their bodies? That sounds right.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

indeed

and yes that's them

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Pretty kitties.

I still don't want one. *hugs eld*

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they'd outsmart the ELD's and lock them in a room somewhere

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Not any of the cats I've ever lived with.

And I'm not so sure yours are all that bright, either. :D

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Iktomi was. Kanda potentially

Soul is well he's SOul

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Iktomi was nuts. He tried to crawl into the lit fireplace.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

he was going home dammit

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Well, that last word fits.

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Female? Aaargh!

I like to put celery seed in soup. I've loved it since I had my first Chicago-style hot dog, which had celery seed on it (along with mustard, ketchup, relish, onion, and thinly sliced cucumber). Awesome.

Yeah, drink the vodka. Maybe it'll help...

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i saw putting it in soup in my healing with herbs book. I need to try that. I've always had it in my bloody marys...go figure (I love chicago dogs)

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I like celery seed because I'm not much on celery in some things, unless it's minced fine. (I don't like the stringiness.)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i like whole celery but cut up and in things, not so much

[bob_fish.livejournal.com]

Oh my goodness. That's some special knowledge.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

isn't it though?

[caffeinified.livejournal.com]

*head desks* Your students.

It seems like people who complain like that are just never happy, complaining for the sake of complaining which just doesn't make any sense to me.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i know to both of them. She's a friend but she's the type it has to be HER way or no way

[halighfataliter.livejournal.com]

I seriously, seriously hope the Female Answer was one of those moments when your brain short-circuits and makes you say the dumbest things. I can't imagine it being sheer stupidity... I mean don't you know your own body?!?!?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

we can hope a lot of things here and all of them better than absolute cluelessness
