Meanwhile, I'm playing D&D with some students at school during my enrichment period. I never got to play in the 80s (no friends interested) - and at school? Hell no! Makes me chuckle.

Oh yeah, I loves me some Tempest. Only Galaga can top it. Heh.

Amachure, surely. I'm a physics teacher and "equilibrium" gets me far too often. I want an extra L in there so badly.

Boy do I feel the urge to paint a big red V on that poster!

Enough snow at the right time that all the local schools are closed (including mine). Woo! First snow day of the school year!

I see no reason to use a plagiarism machine in my lifetime

LOL - I saw a map with the boroughs colored for who won and thought "Oh, that must be Staten Island" thinking of your novels. :-)

Also, I believe it has to be the original, not a cover. :-)

You actually get to choose? All of the people votes I have are "vote for no more than 2" (there are only 2 names), "vote for no more than 4" (there are 3 names). The rest are all levies and I always vote for levies.

Oh hell no. I hate getting up to go to work when it's still fucking night out.

Oh joy. Two of our math teachers dressed as 6 and 7 today to troll the kids. :-)

I grew up in Miami County & didn't think anything of the "Thursday before Halloween" Beggar's Night tradition till I got online in 1995 & all my little Internet friends thought that was weird. So yeah, why *DO* we not do it on Halloween? Silly MC! :-)

Sweet! Sounds like a good book to me.

I still have a free sub due to being a teacher, but I only really use it for the sleepcasts. However, I agree that they're adding too much AI shit in a field that needs more thought & care.
