I've been a good boy…

… and that one big stack of grades is done. I'm going to Drinking Liberally! I might be a little red-eyed and late, but I need this.


I'm here…so is Kos. It's a mob scene, but there's still room for more, so come on down.

We're still waiting on the good Dr B. She must be planning on making an entrance.

I don't watch Private Practice. I didn't like Grey's Anatomy, which, every time I caught part of it, struck me as the cheesiest sort of medical soap opera, a General Hospital transplanted to prime time. Given that Private Practice is a spinoff of Grey's Anatomy, I never saw any reason whatsoever to…
I've been off at the big meeting, and it's been a long and tiring weekend in Las Vegas. It's been strange, too: we're surrounded by slot machines and show girls, and our crowd hardly notices them; I took a moment to step outside, and I had to tell my wife, "the sunshine…it hurts…" and we went back…
One of my favorite underappreciated bands of the mid-90's is the Boston-based three-piece Buffalo Tom. They got a little bit of play with songs like "Sodajerk" and "Treehouse" (both of which have turned up in commercials, and the former apparently figured prominently in an epsidoe of "My So-Called…
Lots of people want to say hello on my trip to Seattle next week, so I thought I'd better let you all know the public parts of my itinerary. This is mainly a trip to relax, eat seafood, meet family and old friends, so there's a problem of priorities. Most of my time will be spent a bit further…

I was going to say:

Hey PZ, it is now 7pm. I bet you are smiling now and your eyes are crossed a little bit.

But this typekey delayed me until now. 7:39
Typekey must be overloaded, what we gona do? I can see how someone without a lot of time would just give up.

I'll just sit here at home in the corner, grading finals and gnashing my teeth at how many students seem to think that Homo sapiens evolved in Africa. No, no, don't mind me.... (sniff)

...and of course I meant "evolved in Europe instead of Africa". Sheesh, one would think that I've been the one drinking it up!

Well, in honor of this prestigious event, I went and had some after-work beers with some left-leaning friends here in the Great NW. The problem arose in riding my bike home well lubed on beers brewed with matchless NW hops: I totally wiped out cowboy-style on some parallel tram-tracks, and sent my shit sprawling in 100 directions. It turned out to be a good, humbling experience, and, judging by their collective gut-laughing, the folks in witness seemed to enjoy it immensely. The sun was shining and there was minimal bloodshed, so I put it in the "win" column. Jeebus, I love Portland.

So at meetups like this, how do you address pseudonymous bloggers like Dr. B? Back when Duncan Black was still pseudonymous he made a few appearances as "Atrios." That might not work as well in this case.
