If this doesn’t keep you going, nothing will

Arrested Development — saved?? Showtime _may_ rescue ‘Arrested Development’. In other news, there _may_ be a God.

In case you’re missing out on your monthly quota of CUTE (I dunno, seems unlikely with all the bunnies in the Telus ads), you could check out CuteOverLoad

It’s cold out there

I've taken up outrigger at FCRCC, and it's been awesome so far. The winter session isn't the most popular, it being a little bit colder outside.
 
Some haiku to summarize how it's going so far:
The water is cold
I cannot feel my balls now
Will you help me thaw?
 
That was from last Tuesday.
 
I've had to buy neoprene socks & neoprene gloves. They work really well, and my digits are all still with me.
 
And one for tonight:
 
tide is out tonight
leaving an expanse of mud
it smells quite like crap

Something to keep you going

A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, “I’ll serve you, but don’t start anything.”

Update from south of the border

hello all! i’ve got two news briefs from this corner of the contin- what’s that? oh, okay, fine. news briefs from this stinking, fetid, imperialist backwater. the caffeine monkey made me say that.

first of all, T successfully defended her dissertation a couple weeks ago. this means that she’s dr T, though it won’t be official until the graduation ceremony in may. however, this does not mean that she’s allowed to operate on people. it’s a doctor of philosophy, which means that at best she’s allowed to theorize on the implications of operating on somebody, but not actually touch them, at least not with a scalpel. her committee said that her disseration was actually interesting, which apparently is high praise, because apparently they usually aren’t.

secondly, and as an offshoot of the first, we’re moving to buffalo in the summer because she just got offered a tenure-track job at the university of buffalo. suny buffalo, to be exact. this second thing is much more exciting that the first, and is actually a whole lot more exciting than it sounds. yes, buffalo. it’s a lot better than worcester, a lot cheaper, and is 10 mins from canada. it’s a win-win-win. seriously.

this means that if you haven’t visited us out here yet, or were planning a re-visit, you should do it soon as possible. you could plan an itinerary that includes boston, new york, and washington. do it! do it soon!

Whoa whoa whoa, I’ve seen this before

Hi folks, you may have noticed that Slanty is not working very well right now. I’ll try to resolve
the issues soon, but no promises. Please feel free to email me your news.

The following was delayed a few days due to Slanty.net having technical difficulties…
