Isn't it strange to be obsessed by diappers so much parallel 38? You just had a baby or what?

I went to Cincinnati.

And boy, do I need to iron too. Lots of laundry getting done lately. Probably not on a cliff though. abra that link was awesome. Not as awesome as awesome, but awesome nonetheless.

they're expensive, so i usually ask for them as gifts. but they're incredible. you pull them out of the dryer and you have CRISP creases and completely smooth. cotton is great quality. it's mindblowing technlogy.

For the record, I have never insulted anyone during a crit, I think the worse phrase I have ever used is "pointless" but I've seen other reviewers call projects "architectural masturbation", or "absolute garbage" and they're 20 years older than me! I also love it when reviewers attack other reviewers, and the student just stands there looking stunned...that's when I usually try to draw attention back to the project at hand (especially when its 8 at night)

Nor are his comments in any way consistent ... good critic indeed. By the time I go to grad school, he'll either be fired or writing "shit" and "retard"-related rants in some blog noone reads.

I think I found a picture of him online:

parallel38 ... incorrect pronoun usage is to be tolerated. Consider switching "whose" to "who's" next time you post.

Also, you should end all queries with a question mark. Quieries typically begin with what, when, et cetera ....

Well, ideally, I'd like you to not say anything, ever again. But I'm probably not going to be so lucky, sooo...

If you say that a school sucks, say WHY you think it sucks. Same for if you think a school is good. That is all I have been getting at this whole time. I've posted it in multiple places. Others have said the same thing.

I assumed that you were a man because I am a woman, and would be ashamed of the gender if you were one too.

On the other hand, you've given me hope that I could get into an Ivy league grad school.

BTW rationalist I love your use of the "stop waving your dicks" phrase over on that thread of poor jsbachsonata's. I've always loved that phrase, sorry guys but sometimes it is so apt.

I've decided I'm going to spend more time in the news section and less time in the forums for awhile. More interesting things to talk about over there, less static. News crew does a great job. Of couse I'll still check in at Thread Central every possible moment!

Working late tonight, sporadic, so I'll see ya in the morning - and I posted a comment to you on the Turbulence House article, asking you a question about your opinion.

today i took two hours to go confirm some measurements in a kitchen that our firm is remodeling. it took about fifteen minutes to get there fifteen to do the measuring then i went and had a coffee type drink with ms overworked liberty bell and she gave me a bunch of cd's including steven's kentucky mix(made it through to the walmart song very good so far) and then went back to the office and talked to some cute carpet rep who brought us snacks...

sporadic, you there?

It's still not terribly late here but I have to pack. I'm going to Anchorage, Alaska tomorrow! I'll represent from our Northernmost state! I'll even see about getting some pictures for you.

I cannot believe that thread has 12,000 views.

Welcome back SPELLING BEE CHAMPION! If you lived by me I would invite you to coffee and we could pore over a dictionary together to pass the time.

Also, rationalist, I share in your frustration. It seems like such a simple concept: back up your statements with reasons. I am completely bewildered now actually.....I am trying to reconcile the new information (parallel38, a female?) with the dialogue I wrote for her over in the undergrad thread. I am also now trying to involve the word "choate", which you've got to give her props for, that's an absolutely hilarious word. Just say it once: choate. Tee hee. Even SBC appreciates that one.

"stop waving your dicks" was pretty great. i've got to admit, i do feel pretty bad for the part i played in ruining jsbach's attempt to get some input in school choice. but i do love a good argument. still, it was kind of stupid, pointless and disrespectful. aww fuck. ps. has anyone seen pixelwhore?!

I think it was, "put your dicks away", but I'm glad everyone was amused. It really was just a pissing contest. I've got a theory about these school discussion threads- everyone wants to pump their school up because they want to think that they went to a great school, that they made the right choice. It pumps their ego. I know I was quite disappointed when my school of choice turned out not to be highly ranked, and am enjoying the fact that it's reputation has been rising a bit in the past few years. The appreciative comments on Daniel's blog gratify my ego as if it were my own work being displayed, not the work of someone I've never met. People who are otherwise reasonable get downright rabid trying to promote their schools. For instance, I generally enjoy ochana's comments, but once she got started on UT, she just wouldn't stop!

On the other hand, what do y'all think about this thread? While I was as irritated by parallel as anyone, carlito doesn't seem to be a prize peach either, and part of me feels that he's crossed some line.

You know when you randomly tap a key accidentally and it changes some setting that then takes you fifteen minutes to reset back to how you had it? My command line disappeared about fifteen minutes ago. Took much swearing to get it back. So frustrating.

Send her to my house to cheer me up!!!

Oh jeeezus elf employment?!? If I employed elves I wouldn't have to be up at 2am!!!!
