[Sally, la reina]

I would rather lick the inside of the garbage can than have that job.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Ewwwww!!!

[Sarah]

Eeewww. Sally, please lick the garbage before I clean the fridge, not after.

It wasn't as bad as it could have been, since most things were in baggies or tupperware.

[Alex]

i am checking goodreads while eating a late lunch and doing some cad.

[Stephen]

What's with the numbers instead of avatars?

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Do you just see numbers, Stephen? I still see avatars.

[Heidi]

Clearly, I'm late to the discussions today.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful holiday weekend. Speaking for myself, I KNOOOOOW I'm gonna have the BEST three day weekend EVER! :) I'm so excited!

[Stephen]

Avatars are back.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I'm getting ready to go to The Brotherhood Lounge, where library staff is celebrating our recent unionization. The staff association had a vote, and now, we're organized!

What is the appropriate drink for that?
Something besides beer, I mean.

[Stephen]

Wondering where the hell is everyone? It's 9:02am, EST, and that is the time to be out of bed, ready for life, and a day of TC posting. I reject my title as Sir Bumptious. I leave Madagascar to its own devices, but I still "like to move it, move it."

No ill, just will; annort your powders. Get out of the showers.

[Félix]

Wha?

[Stephen]

That's right, you heard me correctomundo.

[Félix]

Things are often quiet here on weekends.

[Félix]

I'm a little under the weather today.

[Stephen]

What's wrong man? I am sorry to hear that.

[Stephen]

With a bread machine, or old time knead it yourself. There's a hymn called the baker's lament. "I Knead Thee Every Hour." Did that make you anort?

[Stephen]

Interesting, I will check it out as I dearly love to cook. One thing I will say about kneading dough, is back when I did it -- read, when my arms could handle it -- I had this feeling of participating in an ineffably long line of humans who had put their backs and sweat into making bread.

[Félix]

I prefer no sweat in my bread.

[Stephen]

Do you like Alton Brown on FoodNetwork? I love his shows because he shows how and why food does what it does in the cooking process.

Larry, silly man.

[TxLadyForever]

I'm smelling fresh baked bread!

[Stephen]

Actually, all one has to do is a careful perusal of the evening lineup, find Good Eats with Alton Brown, and watch it. He uses lots and lots of props, costumes and experts. He used tinker toys to show how sugar crystals form, and a lot of other complex food science stuff with easy to understand funny stuff. What do you have against gibbons anyway?

[Stephen]

http://www.foodnetwork.com/good-eats/... Just to point you in the right way.

[Sally, la reina]

Right now I'm at the office, trying to motivate to do some work but feeling awful and thick with mucus. I have kind of a buzzing and ringing in my ears and all I want to do is lay down. Think I should go home.

[Stephen]

I think you should go to the doctor.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I hope you went home, Sally. I send you virtual chicken soup and ginger ale.
*hugs*

[Stephen]

I'll save the hugs lest you give me what you've got. You have the ficus for company. Get well soon.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Virtual hugs are safe, Stephen.

[Stephen]

Well, okay. Larry is sick too, and I mean physically.

[Félix]

*cough*

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Oh, Larry, I'm sorry! Hugs for you too, and soup.

[Félix]

Thanks, Jackie.

[Stephen]

Jackie gets it next?

[Félix]

She'd better not.

[Lori]

Yech! It's too early for the plague (not necessarily Swine flu) going around. Bleh, and hope Sally and Larry are on the mend SOON.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I just read that 2,000 students at WSU have the flu. But not to worry, they're still having their football game this afternoon.

[Nuri]

SPEAKING OF FOOTBALL, I have just returned from the first game of the season! Cal won by a whole lot against unranked Maryland... though not by as much as I would've liked.... And the obnoxious drunk guy behind me kept shouting at the players ("Your sister has syphillis," "Your mom's a slut," etc)... but I suppose it wouldn't have really been a Cal game without three people within a twenty-foot radius of me being dragged off for smoking pot....

It wasn't the most exciting game, but winning is always better than losing.

Go Bears! :D

[Félix]

Nools is back!

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Hurray for Nools! Were we speaking of football?

[Heidi]

Hi Nools. I'm glad to see you back on the boards. :)

[Stephen]

Right now I'm looking out at the thickest fog I've ever seen in Kentucky. I'm feeling it too. :(

[Nuri]

Thanks, Larry, Jackie, Heidi. : ) Nice to know one's been missed.

Right now, I'm TC-skimming in between syntheses diagrams in the cell bio text. Lots to catch up on! Always feeling a little behind, lately...

Also trying to decide whether or not I actually want to go through with the women's chorale. Yesterday, I would've done anything to get in. Now that I am, I don't know if I'm up for this....

[[deleted user]]

I'm sure you'll do fine Nools, if you can make it fun not work.

[Heidi]

If they give you a hard time, Nools... just bite their noses. :)

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Sounds fun to me, Nools. It's so different from your studies, and it's good to be in a group working together like that.

[Stephen]

I think you will find it a great release, especially of creative energy.

Right now I'm wondering what is up with serial killers and Milwaukee? Dahmer was bad enough, now this guy who killed 9 women.

http://www.newser.com/story/68824/mil...

[RandomAnthony]

I've hardly paid attention to this one...hadn't thought of Dahmer...man. Sometimes our state is crazy.

On the good side, I guess, we had thick fog this morning and the rising sun through the thick fog looked cool on my commute. Wish I had my camera.

[Stephen]

Wow Jim, that is so encouraging. Milwaukee must be like the unluckiest place in the world. As far as your state being crazy RA, it's those damn winters, I'm telling ya!

[[deleted user]]

I used to carry a camera in the car all the time, and never stopped to take a picture. Every so often there are cranes or foxes or such that I wish I had the camera in the car to take a picture of. The fog was too thick to take a picture of it here this morning.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

I think every state has its crazies. One of Chris' aunts remarried a guy who worked with the Green River murderer.

Oh, and my friend Mindy dated a guy who later turned into a serial murderer. Geez, I can't believe I almost forgot about him! He even got a book written about him: Charmer The True Story of a Ladies' Man and His Victims
