hi megan,
regarding crappy hour, i just wanted to mention that tendai biti was arrested on treason charges, not genocide.

thanks!

What is this "a job" of which you speak?

Heh, "it's own reward." (I need the language so I can integrate some Herder and Schopenhauer into the sections of my dissertation that are on Tolstoy. As you can see, practical life choices are not so much part of my life.)

Love the new avatar -- you can't go wrong with Dolly!

I just spent $129 on a German textbook, but that Feuchtgebiete post made it hurt a little less. Bless you.

Just saw your piece on DCist...my internet worlds are colliding. ::head explodes::

Anyway, nicely done. "GET OUT OF MY WAY" is the perfect advice for all visitors to DC. And quite a few of the folks who live here.

Congratulations on the awesome story in the Post.

A lot of people in CH wanted to talk NKOTB. They needed their own post.

"In that spirit, let me say: get bent." I appreciated your response to this supreme load of bullshit via the Times. And your ending could not be more perfect. I've been finding that my come back to most of the misogynistic bull of late is: Blow Me. Not very academic, but effective.

The dry spell thread is amazing. Thank you thank you thank you.

I'm always amazed and inspired by the openness of the commenters, but this is especially special.

"Especially special." Time for bed.

your comments on the dry spell thread were much appreciated, both the ones directed at me, and the other ones you made as well!
