LRP: i love his fuzzy li'l ears

Chuff'd to report that the San Ho Won house menu is fully worth it, and that our perfect dinner there has completely refreshed the people's confidence in my restaurant-choosing powers

We've been discussing how to attract more students to the math major lately, and I know one thing for sure: making students learn what "mOdUs pOnEnS" is before having them actually prove anything interesting is a surefire way to be doing the opposite of that

Should I eat at María Isabel, San Ho Won, Lazy Bear, and Le Dräq all within the span of one week, or would I die 🦊🍽️

Every day It doesn't happen is another day this so-called God is weak on crime

I made a really nice and simple soup yesterday for the rainy weekend: andouille sliced into rounds, bit of garlic, a chopped-up head of cabbage, a bouillon cube, and a parmesan rind. Soup!

I think I might just call it a day, make some cornbread, and read some UKLG 😌

My partner is back from abroad, and we watched two hours of Gilmore Girls (S1E09-10), and I cried like five times. Also I made spaghetti. 🍝

Maybe It will happen today! 🙏🥰🌻🌼🌸

I've bought a lot of useless equipment for my home gym, but, gotta say, I really don't know how I did deadlift days before I got a barbell jack

Got an attack ad about Saikat Chakrabarti in the mail that accuses him of something truly unspeakable: being from Maryland

Last night (while partaking of the halfling's leaf) I got like, momentarily obsessed with / "hot under the collar" for Croatian celebrity cellist Stjepan Hauser, and I am a bit mad no one told me about Croatian celebrity cellist Stjepan Hauser at any previous juncture

April Fools? More like April Open the Schools!

Calling in "I saw a clickbait video title that was clearly a vicious lie and I can't stop yelling at everyone about it, hundreds have blocked me, please don't put me in a classroom today" to work

Always nice to hear that your class made someone change their major (to the subject of that class, to be clear!)

Well folks, it looks like we're down to just one (1) member of our cloistered ennearchy that qualifies for "being pissed on by me, if they were on fire"

Probably unrelated to previous (but certainly related to the fact I've been playing that TMNT co-op Hades-like):

LRP: Don't forget!! 🍕

Trying so hard today to remember that having students is a joy and a privilege

I love Nigella Lawson and I love following her (here on twitter dot com), but I really need to resist the urge to click through to the replies on her posts, which are a sort of portal into an especially grating br*tish xoomer brain worm hell hole

Anyone (eg my partner) who is able to overcome jetlag using one of those "apps" that tells you when to sleep just has a low-ass WIS score, let's be honest

We're such good boys they're going to add a whole extra week of spring break just for us to do more good boy stuff (walks, barks, &c.) 🐕

Kind of grouchy today (because squats and syllabi and course prep) so I figure I may as well "go off" on one of my ultimate pet peeves: the overly familiar tone of copy on snack packaging (1/??)

More like... the New York Slimes

Coming back to 5/3/1 after a long break... did my heavy deadlifts day yesterday, but had to take Niko to his vet check up, so I left the deload sets for today, and... I think this may be How I Die 💀

I'm going to do two weird posts in a row and I'd like to apologize in advance:

I hope people are over being over truffle oil enough to open themselves to the truth that it is really nice on raw salmon (and even better in concert with yuzu koshō)

How did final grade assignments go this term, you ask? Well, I had to watch the last scene of "In the Pale Moonlight" again, this time

Family hike up Mt. Tam followed by immaculate vibes at The Junction

First day of Spring Break and I'm heading out to touch some grass* (*try a new sandwich downtown)

I don't think I say it enough but: Fuck Atherton

Fare cops trying to fine some woman asking if anyone on this muni train speaks Spanish and getting nothing but silence... yes but not for you 😌🖕

I'm not wading into the "semantic scope of 'American'" debate today, but, I think we can all agree that English could never have a demonym for the USA that is as pleasant to both hear and say as "estadounidense"

Last day of classes and my promotion is official and it's beautiful out—I'm going to get embarrassingly h-word (the other one) and drink pet nat and eat bucatini with anchovies and breadcrumbs on the deck 🙂‍↕️

I'm back but mostly to complain that my day will be grading, grading and more grading, then a wee break to get a cavity filled!, followed by more grading.

Takeing a break. I'll be back.

A "funny" situation has arisen at work where I'm teaching 1 of 6 sections of an intro course next term, and yet, my section accounts for 35% of the course's entire enrollment. Ha ha ha that's so fun and cool. 😎🆒

Pouring four out for (in vague order of precedence): Ursula, Iain, Jack (Vance), and Gene

Important reminder that if you want an 11-minute reprieve from the dumpster fire of reality, Sandiwara, a short film starring Michelle Yeoh, Michelle Yeoh, Michelle Yeoh, Michelle Yeoh, and Michelle Yeoh is out on YouTube! A treat!

Hoping the P*kémon gays get everything they want!!

Third food post in a row (not sorry; yes it's probably a stress /anxiety thing) but last night's dinner was cornmeal waffles topped w/ thin cut pork chops, onions 'n' peppers, and hot honey. Putting this one on repeat!

Having some ikea food for lunch

My weekend project (making lasagna) occurring now

Trying to import a single (but very large album) from my iPhone to my laptop without iCloud, and, does anyone know where Tim Apple lives, I just want to talk

None of you are bringing me laud and it shows... 😒

Sometimes I joke about people thinking math research is just adding bigger and bigger numbers... and right now I'm constructing the smallest graph with a particular "naturally motivated" property, and it has more vertices than there are protons in the universe... so there's truth in humor ig

Please to report I fried some goat cheese again

I am ride-or-die with a core group of friends from high school. Without getting shmoopy or eye-rolly about found families: I consider myself very lucky in this regard. 🥲 I would not have made it here otherwise.
