That deserves its own thread! I have a professor I literally get sick when I think about her. Disgustingly disrespectful of theoretical computer science. She is, I suppose, a colleague.
TNP learned a number of years ago to just suck it up and deal with the annoyances of one's colleagues, however one can. in my case it's putting on a brave face and spitting bile every day in private or to friends, or even e-friends eta yeah, it is convenient -- I do stick the post-its occasionally on surfaces -- computer monitor, even a desktop -- but the sticky part is great for keeping the pads organized and it's nice to have the option

No. Ever since I read this a few days ago, though, I have half a mind (full stop!) wait, to go make a wicked homeburger, cheese-style. I don't want to buy a big thing of cheese, though -- I'd probably eat it in one sitting and hate myself in the morning.
TNP did eat some pretty good cow within the past few days, though.
Actually, I think it's the perfect food. Also, my favorite. If I had the ability to bake some kind of bread, and the fixings for hummus, that would be my diet, no question. That's not hyperbole, either -- this is what I eat, provided I have enough time to prepare a civilized meal. Beans, fat, and grains.
Prefers to what? Eating a dried-out mammoth uterus? Yeah, I guess. Ice cream is good for once in a while, when doing a big blow-out-style sweet frenzy, complete with Maraschinos, fudge, caramel, peanuts, and the works. I hate myself in the morning, though, because I pig out once every year or two on an ice-cream frenzy.
TNP recently had a kick-ass haircut. ten minutes ago. Not a good picture, but it's half Duchovny-in-Californication and half McLachlen (sp?)-in-Twin-Peaks. And the haircutter was cool -- she was fast and didn't ask me questions except "this? shorter?" and was happy when I said invariably "You tell me -- I'm not a fashion guy"
Not in a long time, the last time I participated in a mass was maybe a decade ago, and I think I had a cheeseburger or a gyro sandwich before hand, so celebrating the eucharist was not really an option, strictly speaking. Mock trial, with judge reinhold! Mock trial, with judge reinhold!
TNP got to test drive a new piece of apparel recently (fairly heavy rain today, got to use my new raincoat -- seemed fine for ~30 minutes in the elements). Dale Cooper's rain coat was too long to be practical for me, but mine is just right! (Except for from the knees down).
Wait, I can't answer that. I guess the ice skating -- I've done it a few times, and I like the way the ladies dress up. And also the blades are sharp, so it seems virile and life-threatening.
Fucking A damned right. Even in my own fucking neighborhood people are going apeshit. Some ped hit by a car, somebody's car got jacked, i was lured into a strange lady's apartment to see if she plugged her dishwasher in right, and i think she stole my phone.
Not personally, but my dad did, and I did some target shooting on tin cans now and then. He used it on raccoons, skunks and neighborhood dogs that couldn't otherwise be shooed away.
Yeah, I guess. Especially if one includes VHS tapes. One of those things I never bothered to count.
TNP's private library (whatever medium, doesn't matter) is sort-of organized. Not really, but it makes sense, sort of, in some planet. oh i hope it was Geo Jones singing "Things Have Gone to Pieces" -- that was the tune I was thinking about. The ultimate sad-sack tune. I think Pig Robbins might have been on piano too, which is good. Not sure.

Yeah, but after all these years, let's face it, it's not gonna happen.
TNP likes Modern Art better than the Classics.
(Oh, and Jizz -- it was "Open Pit Mine", kind of a legendary Jones song, but one I hadn't been able to track down until the digital age. Didn't quite live up to its reputation, but I was maybe spoiled by how much better Jones sounded as he aged.)
