yeah, I really want to know her story. I talked to a guy who works in psych at ECMC and the other hospitals, and even he has never met anyone that has talked to her. Such a mystery!!!

I swallowed so many words. :/
Today is correction fluid day, so here goes...
- who these people are (omit ? mark)
- Why are *they* clothed...
- Don't they *feel* uncomfortable *under* all
those layers of cloth?
- *(*followers of Jainisms = Jains)

I have wondered a million times who these people are? Why are clothed like aliens from sci-fi movies? Don't they uncomfortable with all those cloth layers? Are they under some secrecy oath?
There is a religion in India called Jainism 9followers = Jains). The monks from this religion wear white masks over their mouths to prevent the inhalation of flying creatures (yeah, as if nostril hairs weren't enough). They are called the Swetambara (Sheathed-in-white) monks. They carry whisk-brooms to prevent themselves from stepping on crawling creatures, don't walk on the grass and only go outside during daylight. The very rigid among them don't eat root vegetables that destroy the plant. They follow the principle of non-violence to its extreme meanings.
I am sure the alien-look-alikes on Allen can't be Jains. Who are they? Scientologists??

LeopardCategory: computers
So, I preordered Apple Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard (™, ®, etc). This is what I'm looking forward to:
- Spaces / multiple workspaces
- Tabbed, internationalized terminal
- Time Machine
- Death of Metal
- Finder Improvements
- Learning Objective C 2.0 now that it's got GC
- Playing with the Cocoa-Ruby bridge.
But also to some new 10.5 only apps that are coming out shortly.

I Am Displeased.Category: sick
I do not feel very good, I think it is a cold or the flu. This displeases me greatly. I think it's the fault of (e:enknot) who did not save me any flu vaccine.
I was fine this morning, went to work on-site at a client's all morning and then all of a sudden I'm congested and cough-y. Sniffling too.
This is awesome.

I am guilt-tripped very easily. :) I am the world's biggest living sap.

I was just kidding Tinypliny!
I feel much better today, less a zombie and more a productive member of society.

Off to bed. Wish me well.
If only tinypliny had brought soup, I would be better by now :).

My throat was sore around Noon, now it is swollen, my nose is completely blocked up, and I feel like crap.

It's funny that you posted the image of that balloon architecture book, because I just got an invitation to be part of Wilmot Cancer Center's Balloon Manor Charity. :::link:::

Have you seen the Viking mixers? They look lethal: :::link:::
I love my Kitchen Aid, but Vikings just look so serious :) Like you could mix up cupcakes, or you know, CONCRETE.

Tiny, I get this joke only because I hear about these silly computer things all day from Jim. You are not alone.
Martin Fowler's "Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture" is a must-read for anyone who works both with an object-oriented language and a database. It is one of the best $50 I've ever spent.
I think he probably has too much real-world programming experience to be classified as a "computer scientist". :)
"I totally taked your binky"* I gotz help now.
hahahaha
Like here: :::link:::
Except I made one about a computer scientist, so if it doesn't make any sense don't worry :)
Have you heard of LOLcats?
Huh?
