"Bitch, stop taking the glaze."
I still get really nervous before I teach a class, but they seem to end in applause so I'll take that as a sign of flying right.
I still get nervous before teaching and I've now been doing it since 2004. I have to teach a first-year workshop on friday and if I think about it too much, I could get myself worked up about it now. :) - ellbeecee
Teaching a class tomorrow and Saturday (Saturday!). - Derrick
For the first time ever, winter coat shopping. Can't one just beat the chill w/ long braised beef in stock w/ root vegetables in cast iron?
no - lris
this is the weather that gets jackets left at the office because it's cold in the morning and warm by the time you leave. then, the next morning, you realize you left it :) - ~Courtney F
Impromptu dance party. Holla back.
Kieran got low. - Derrick
*dips D* - Soup in a TARDIS
haha. - Derrick
Good morning and happy Saturday. Be kind and be well. #weekend
Morning, D, and a good one to you :) - Pete's Got To Go
Have a great day! - LB ❤s FF
Good morning, D! Enjoy your day. - Anne Bouey
Have a beautiful weekend, my friend. :) - Jenny H.
I don't like to show off Zamms, but the pasta he made tonight was just...sublime. So good. And there was brown butter! And cheese! You, my friend, in a word, rock.
ohhh what type of pasta was it? - Sir Shuping is just sir
I can't wait to eat it all up. - Derrick
I upgraded to iOS 7 and now I can't figure out how to do anything on the phone.
see, I've been wondering about this. Wife is a bit of a luddite but she LOVES her iPhone. However she does not adapt quickly to gadget updates. Moreover, she's really taken to using Waif's iPad of late (I'm thinking of gifting her one for her birthday or Crimmuh... our secret, K?). But if the upgrade is causing confusion, I may delay updating them both. #dammitapple At some point does the upgrade "push" onto the devices? I heard this somewhere. - MoTO Boychick Devil
I elected to manually download it; I know Android devices uses the push. I know I'll get used to it but in the meantime I'm plugging along. Kinda. - Derrick
It's probably lame to sing "riding on the metro-oh-oh" when you're ON the metro, but I'm grown, so...yeah.
Not lame at all. Only better if you are on the s-bahn or u-bahn - ♫Maurice the Dolphin♫
Such a great song, been in my head all morning. Thanks D! - Stephen Mack
What? As seen at the desk.
nomARR nomARR nomARR - RepoRat
They are wearing beanies - maʀtha
Talk like a pirate day, my pirate ship tattoo!
ARRRRRRRRRRR. Also ow. - RepoRat
It didn't hurt much. Not like the calves, or the the elbow, or the chest, or...other areas. - Derrick
Other areas? ;) - Katy S
That's lovely. - Starmama
Communication librarians: How and/or where do you go or turn to for developing your collections?
I think I can hear Zamms IN THE OTHER ROOM.
It is quite possible. #loudlibrarian - Zamms
Hrm. - Derrick
Photos: National Zoo's Panda Cub Gets First Exam: DCist - http://dcist.com/2013...
I can't with the panda. I just canNOT. - Derrick
clouded leopards are similar: http://www.zooborns.com/zooborn... and that first pic definitely has the existential-bewilderment thing happening. - RepoRat
Well this class I'm teaching on Wednesday will be interesting considering how the requester left me hanging for a month before getting back to me. And in it's a subject I've never taught. And it includes a library tour and *I've* never had a library tour. But anyway, let's go!
"we're going to learn TOGETHER!" - Jenica
Well the art books are all in one localized spot and I pretty much led them there from the beginning. Finding the books took maybe 5 minutes, then back upstairs to the classroom, so there really wasn't a lot of roaming. - Derrick
It was all I could to not crip walk on the train this morning listening to "The Boy is Mine."
Starting to think ahead about a container vegetable garden for next summer.
I bring my herbs inside in the winter and they still do well. - Katy S
My tomatoes and cucumbers did very well in pots this year; zucchini, not so much. - Ken Morley
When you have that important document that is so important you put in a special place so as not to lose it, but then…can't find it. :|
All. The. Time. <sigh> - That&#39;s So CAJ!
Has anyone seen my lease? It's been safely tucked away from myself for about 7 years. - April Russo (FForever!)
Sunday Brunch: Poached Eggs on Grilled Polenta Cakes - http://www.seriouseats.com/2013...
"These tender cakes make a great base for anything that's saucy and rich. While a thick ragu may be the ideal pairing in the evening, poached eggs are a perfect touch come morning. A fried egg will work, too. As long as you make sure your egg has a runny yolk to act as a thick sauce for the cakes, you'll have a simple robust breakfast in no time at all." - Derrick
Oh hell yes. - Catherine Pellegrino
...and now cupcakes.
Where's that from, boo? - Tamara J. B.
Breakfast is served! - Zamms
Drinking at a gay bar. As you do.
I can totally get behind a gay sports bar. Pause. - Derrick
YAY! :) - Jason
Hanging out with Shevonne! *\o/*
jealous! - t-ra is ugly crying
Kind of craving cornbread and honey butter and a cup of coffee. Good morning, people and happy Friday.
Morning, D, and a good day to you too :) - Pete&#39;s Got To Go

Breakfast Tacos with Crispy Potatoes, Chorizo, and Fried Egg - http://www.seriouseats.com/2013...
"While scrambled eggs are the traditional method for breakfast tacos—presumably to make them neater to eat while walking, standing, or driving—neatness is not what we're after here—pure deliciousness is the only thing on the menu. So rather than scrambled eggs, I decided to go with a sunny-side up fried egg, figuring the liquid yolk would make the perfect sauce for the crisp potato chunks." - Derrick
Looks good, but I'd eat it with a side of Lipitor. - Todd
Hrm. I scheduled a 10a, an 11a, on the desk at 1p, then have a 2p, and a 3p. I wonder exactly how much work I'll actually get done today.
that IS work. Just not the work that moves you towards you objectives. - DJF
It's a big change for me from my job in New Orleans; I was on the desk 20 hours a week. But I also have a lot more responsibility now than I had before too. - Derrick
<----------------------------------------beautiful like diamonds in the sky.
shine bright like a diamond . shine bright like a diamond . - Zamms
Zamms knows. He's also a diamond. <3 - Derrick
Well, that's one way to lose these walking blues. - RepoRat
Meditating coming into work on the train today. It can be done. Be well. #watchthebreath
Dudes.
DUDES. - RepoRat

Now that I'm living in a place where fall is not just a concept, it's all pumpkin everything.
The kids and I are already planning our pumpkin patch outing! You're invited :D - Shevonne
Today's forecast in NJ is 93F, so I guess that means homemade pumpkin pie ice pops. :-D (canned pumpkin, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves; blended together and frozen in ice pop molds) - April Russo (FForever!)
Holding first office hours of the semester in the Communications building. Been here for an hour virtually ignored...until a student walks up, smiles, and asks: Do you know where I can find the closest restroom?
I didn't know. :( But I did direct her to the office who could tell her. - Derrick
At our public library they have aids (mostly elderly volunteers) to keep you from bugging the librarian ... or at least that's what they seem to be doing. Its kinda annoying. - Shannon - GlassMistress
I was a little intimidated by this professor when I taught a class for her last week. She's tough as nails and a little humorless and I thought I could've done a better job. But she called this morning and asked me to teach another class so maybe I didn't do so bad after all.
I'm sure you were amazing, just like always! - Soup in a TARDIS
Nope. None at all, Anne. I bet you made it look easy, D. - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Um...
Enjoy! - Katy S
We ducked into the Seattle one last week; love that place so much. <3 - Jennifer Dittrich
Not mad at people who get on the bus for a stop or two so as to avoid strutting up steep ass hills.
Might be one of those people --------------> - Derrick
Yeah, I might know the hill of which you speak. Wisconsin Avenue? Something with a W. - RepoRat
We were headed towards Wisconsin but this was actually on Porter. When the folks who avoided the hill by bussing it got off the bus I gave them a head nod and a church wave. - Derrick
