I had to deal with 5th graders today. I volunteer yearly to be one of the Profs to do a workshop for the kiddos when they visit campus. They love it (I do a lab with skittles) Yikes. They're draining. BUT unlike my students they answered my questions so eagerly with no fear of being wrong, they ASKED me what I wanted to be called (unlike one of my advisees whom I've never seen who came up to me right after this and said, are you Dana?). I respect elementary school teachers. I'd have gone insane.

I got some mitsuba in the mail from

silvrethorn and it looks healthy. I need to plant it and start cooking with it.

I updated my browsers. I hate them. AND now i find out no one knew they'd be incompatible with all the software i use at school. Whimpers.

Hey go have a looksee at

fmagiftexchange for prompts and add some of your own if you can swing the vgifts for all the charities. I'm going to add mine tonight. I think with all the issues with LJ it didn't get much notice. (yes you have to join the comm to play)

In spite of the issues with LJ (and is wondering how long before word press or dreamwidth become the next target),

help_japan has raised over 45K. that's pretty amazing. And I saw Japan and Mexico both got hit with big quakes today

And I got something in the mail today that I've wanted for years. I'm a Nielsen family member now. hee

Andrew Zimmern sums up WHY I have such issues with reality TV, especially the salacious ones. Stuff like this bothers me. The fact that so many of us rush to watch the worst of the human experience is disturbing.

And George Takei has made the OhMyyyyy ring tone for the iphone to benefit charity and I wish so much I had an iphone right now.

My cats were at it again. I split my heel open and didn't want to try and stand on it while shaving my legs so I sat on the lip of the tub. I didn't hear them push the door open. Then I felt a tongue on my thigh 0_0. I look down and Kanda's up on the tub. I can not persuade him to go away. WHile I'm trying this, a soft paw taps my butt. Here comes Soul 0_0 GO AWAY. Kanda leaps into the tub and starts diving along the bottom chasing the shaving foam. Soul is trying to bat him in the head. I get out and leave the two idiots to it.
