Stick a fork in me

[cornerofmadness]

I'm done. I had to teach THREE chapters in three hours. I'm more exhausted than my poor students. And the next spoiled brat who whines about their test not getting graded is just sucking around for a bitch slap. You get them when you get them. Your professor's world does NOT revolve around grading your exam so just learn to live with it.

On the other hand, one of my students told me I was the best science teacher she ever had and hadn't ever learned so much before. Awwww....

Dad emailed me for help getting mom a gift. He's been married to her for 40 years and is still clueless.


And I hated House tonight. That was a shock I think I started freezing up when they mentioned peer review. By ten minutes in I'm twitching on the couch remembering peer reviews (me and for others) in the past. Chase was annoying me and at the very end, putting a subordinate doctor OVER House to watch him for a month just seemed utterly unrealistic and done merely to up the soapy ness. I'm not looking forward to next week which is a shame)

Yay for you! *points at icon*

Did you suggest maybe Mr. Spock on a platter? Or perhaps Pierce Brosnan?

cute icon

Dad would just get jealous. I volunteered to take him shopping. Kill me

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

knights_13 let me borry it.

You're going shopping with John? Oy! OY!

I'm so glad I live in Indiana though I'm thinking Florida would really be the better place 'til that hell freezes over.

someone's likely to die

and ooo finally the eppy I've been looking forward to tonight

Uses "Watch" icon in honor of last night's ep

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Was it what you expected it to be?

Re: Uses "Watch" icon in honor of last night's ep

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes and no (having read the manga already) There was a line earlier Al to Ed about Automail being hard on him so I'm wondering if it hurts always but not as bad as when it's reconnected.

Winry was a tad TOO geeky and alittle unsympathetic when it came to Ed's desire to be rid of the automail but then she makes up for it later. (Ed, you shower with your boxers on?)

I see why now you and Silvrethorn like Armstrong.

Where does Ed/Al live in Central? House? barracks? Whereever the hell?

And Ed/Al's exchange was intriguing and made a plot bunny that won't die suggesting that it's not really Al's soul in that armor but rather a manifestation of Ed's desire to save his brother and he's really talking to a part of his own psyche

I actually prefer the manga Winry to the animated Winry. Of course, I'm still not sure I like animated Winry's voice, either (which is a shame, since the voice actress and her mother are on LJ and poke around looking at FMA Winry-centric stories).

I don't think those are boxers. There's some sort of dark shadow under them that looks like bicycle pants - I'm thinking they're jean shorts, personally. Though everyone always refers to them as boxers so it's fanon at this point, if nothing else.

Isn't Armstrong the best? He and Havoc and Hughes - just love 'em (though I didn't start really liking Havoc until the last Saturday ep, which I won't spoil for you if you haven't seen it).

Ed/Al live in barracks at Central (when they're there) and in barracks whenever they're at a military outpost.

Now that's a cool plot bunny. OOoOoo.

What happened to the other one that you were stabbing with Q-tips, speaking of bunnies?

My dad is the exact same way after 44 years of marraige. So I ask mom what she wants, I go out and buy it with dads $$, I bring it home and wrap it, I give my dad the card to sign saying it's from him.


Ah, Christmas....

; )

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

That's what I'll be doing but if I have to suffer the mall so does he. He's comign with me

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

My dad's rather crippled.

Not to mention a whiney manipulator.

; )

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well that would get dad a pass from retail hell

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

I'm not going near the mall. Strictly internet purchases and stuff I can do myself. Stores give me hives.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

If I have to do this, Dad's going to suffer

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

*dies laughing at your icon*

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

I thought it was festive.

; )

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Festive and original Trek - what more could one ask for? ;)

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

I have another one. The Sarek family Christmas card photo. It's a hoot.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see that one too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Really? *bright eyes* Is the pet sehlat included?

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

Oh, those are neat! Thanks for the link.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thank you and sporks LJ for giving me Jane's reply to this but not your reply with the URL

[masqthephlsphr.livejournal.com]

I woke up to 11 comments in my email inbox. I hope that's a sign I'm getting all my replies now.

Grrr....

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'm still not. I get about half

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes by the way I do LOVE this icon.

[makd.livejournal.com]

Great compliment from your student. (such comments are treasures, really. We store them up for rainy days.)

As for the clueless dad? He's male, right? so: clueless. Most of them (guys) don't get the good gifting gene.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I plan on saving that up yes. I was meaning to ask you. is it totally normal to completely run out of time in the last two weeks of a semester?

and yeah dad's always been clueless

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

*shakes head* Dad makes me get most of Mum's gifts too *le sigh*

and you know your mum is an internet addict when her surprise Christmas present is gonna be a domain of her own for her site O.o (which i'm also making, btw).

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

and hurry up and do it cos i"m dying to see it! LOL

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

Lol, ok, ok I will...I finally managed to zip and send all of her site files from the other comp XD

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well i want to see this.

[lejlkwiet.livejournal.com]

I'll link it once it's done :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

cool

[mzzgoddessblue.livejournal.com]

Obviously my s/dad is the odd man out, cos he always knows what to get my mater for xmas.

It's me that's the problem - when we have christmas here (which we're not this year) I can never come up with anything for her. Luckily, there's no need this year.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Mom gets mostly food gifts now, sauces, teas, things like that

[a2zmom.livejournal.com]

I so happy to hear that at least one student appreciates you. And you survived it! So yeah.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I was happy to hear it too
