Well after reading that succesion of post I would have to say the general feeling I have now is: meh.
Some really good news with some really bad news, kind of cancel each other out right now.
So meh to you today.
P.S.: Nice little piece of writing Andy!

Last day at V.B.; "school's out for summer."
The obvious question, "how did it go?", can be answered easily -- nay, sweetly, as if carried on the zephyrous, crystal ring of an angel's whispered song -- through the words of my own mentor:I have had a number of student teachers in the past and while each of them has had something to recommend them, I feel that Andrew is the first one I’ve had that I would want my own children to have as a teacher. [...] We need more teachers like Andrew Thompson in this profession.
*ahem* -- Hell yeah. (It almost made my mom cry; it made my head swell to even more gigantic proportions.)

in all fairness, the crappiness of the winning goal was offset by:
the Red Wings having missed TWO open netters (embarassing)
as well the Oilers fucked it up on their own by not having taken the lead with their two consecutive 5 on 3s

hmm... I was partially right. On a typewriter you would go back before a word and then use the underscore key to make an underline of the word. An underline of course would be used on a typewriter to replace the italics function.

I may be wrong, but I think the underscore "character" was invented because typewriters didn't have italics functions.

That's not mine. That's John Hodgman, from the Daily Show. He was talking about a contest the US Defense Department soliciting essays about how to defeat the Iraqi insurgency (for a $1000 prize.) My favourite part of the whole thing, though, was when he was saying that the government soliciting advice for prizes wasn't a new thing. He then detailed the story of a woman from Palm Beach who made the decision to use the atomic bomb on Japan. "For that she received a case of Lucky Strikes... and a lifetime supply of sadness."
(Oh, and Gestapo should be capitalized.)

Oh yeah, I really like the new title. And you say you don't want to be on the language gestapo.
