Why do you think I was licking her?

On an unrelated note:

I let a bottle of Propel touch the little freezer in my minifridge and it froze solid. The freezing freeze distilled the flavoring out of the water, so after I drank the mostly unflavored water I was hit with a shot of pure flavory goodness.

This pleases Chuckman.

My wife has just returned from her last day at work.

... and so her career came to a .

RML or FML? Don't actually know yet...

That's a RML. She's free to do anything she wants now.

Explanation -   SPOILER: Show

For those who don't get the quote, it's from 1066 and all that, a spoof history book written in the 1920s, the last line of which runs:
(read the "." as "full stop", of course, the book being English!)

The explanation you expected before -   SPOILER: Show

She has been made redundant in a major restructure, and has not found another suitable job. As she is essentially of retirement age (as I am), and has good pension provision (as I don't!), she could happily retire if a suitable job doesn't materialise.

In other words, sir, it's time for you two to have a very nice dinner out. :) I raise my mug.

That would depend entirely on how she feels about it. Which will probably take some time to figure out.

^ Indeed - that's the point...

We picked some apples from our old Bramley; here are the largest:

One of those would probably be pretty darn filling (and tasty!)

Apple crumple tonight then, is it?

The flawless big ones are for baking (core them and stuff the hole with raisins and brown sugar); smaller or damaged ones are used for crumbles and prodigious amounts of apple jelly.

Baked apples are absolutely wonderful in the colder months of the year. It's a shame that they don't grow in winter.

But they store well. I usually run out of our crop some time in January, baking an apple pie and a couple of apple dumplings (peel the apple and wrap it in the left over pastry, otherwise as baked -- though at the start of the season, the stuffing is usually fresh plums) every few days from when they start to ripen.

How do you store your apples so that they last? Being in sunny SoCal, cold is something that we rarely worry about.

In a cool but frost-free dry place, wrapped individually in newspaper, not packed together (either on card trays,or in the slots in a wine box). By January, they are starting to soften as they dry, and often have little specks of brown in as they mellow -- but they are still usable for cooking.

Of course these days you can get better stored ones from the supermarket throughout most of the year.

Sounds good. Thanks, Tines!

So, I finally caved an purchased Wolfram Mathematica 10. It costs the average Joe a little over $1000. But me, being a student and all, got this wonderful software for only $140! So, what am I going to use this software for? Homework help? Fourier Analysis? Cellular Automation?

No.

I shall use it for the pinnacle of human endeavors.

What better purpose does multi thousand dollar software serve, but to blur pictures of dickbutt?





GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE!
Teh Internets are working again, at my apartment. Holly-loo-ya.

And such, the peak of mathematics was reached: We have successfully obscured the image of a complacent man with a penis emerging from his rump.

Well done everyone.

OT: I've finally been graced with 50-70F/10-20C weather.

This statement synergises with your profile pic strangely well.

Well, had an awesome time today. Didn't get cooked by the sun, and saw some spectacular displays of aviation. Highlights would be the U.S. Army golden Knights jump team, all of the aerobatic performers including Sean. D. Tucker, who is known for being one of the best aerobatic pilots of all time, The Air Force F-22 demonstration including a heritage flight with two P-51D's and an F-86 Saber, The Bremont Horsemen F-86 demonstration team, and the stars of the show... the Canadian Air Force Snowbirds, who have not performed at an airshow here in 20 years.

I'll be putting up a few of my best pictures.

So, Texas is legalizing marijuana in eight days, taking effect on January 1st of next year - literally the last place I expected to do so (I figured Texas would hold out until federal legalization, given the political proclivities of Deep Southern states).

Third Impact must surely be inevitable at this point - this scenario seems entirely impossible.

No third impact is when texas legalizes gay marriage and at the same time realizes women don't like to be treated like crap by thier government

this girl i have been good friends with+had a crush on for a while admitted to me she was gay, i told her i was gay too so i was cool with it and she went home for the night after not being shocked at all (lol am i that obvious?), this is quite possibly the most luck i have had in my entire life, if this goes badly it will end up in FML
