[Loud Whispers]

you're

You've made me sad, Truean.

Abandon all grammar ye who enters here

[Megaman]

Every time I read this topic I cross myself eight times a minute.

[Pnx]

So I cooked again today... or to be more exact I did a little chopping and ingredient reading while my mother did most of the work. We cooked a korma using sour cream instead of yogurt, my mother insisted it was delicious, I thought it just tasted like meat in a creamy sauce, the same as every other dish of meat in a creamy sauce... except this one made my mouth spicy (the recipe called for cayenne pepper... in a korma, go figure).

We dumped a buttload of spices in it, but I couldn't really taste any of it. We used chicken thighs instead of breast because my mother insisted this they tasted better, but apart from being slightly tougher I couldn't tell the difference.

I seem to have absolutely no taste for cuisine. *sigh*

Despite the hurried nature in which I wrote it....

A generation that sincerely cares about grammar but not literature. English teachers don't know what to do.

It's because we don't have literature Nazis.
(And I like literature...)

I might nave a todo chance top start a hematology residency indica a prestigious hospital. If ir comes through ir might be te bes choice I hace outside repeating the speciality exam, which I was strongly considering.

Still, I hace this feeling of loss, which I would likely have anyway no matter which speciality I picked (beforehand I was feeling kind of saddened that I was deprecating hemato in favor of surgery. That is, until a cold during the spec exam ruinated that).
On the othrr hand, retaking theexam is always an option. And hemato is short enough to merit considering doing the whole spec and then do another on top of it if doubts remain

[Descan]

CPoo, you're either drunk, or you're writing that on a potato. What's up?

[Twi]

...I have to translate my Hebrew with Google.
I took eight years of that stuff. EIGHT. YEARS. I never was very good at it (strangely, I'm doing far better in my current actual school foreign language), but still.
Kinda puts a damper on things. :/

You kiddin'? People love literature. A lot.

It just doesn't have a monopoly on storytelling anymore like it did 150 years ago. It is but one medium, with its own strengths and weaknesses, among many.

Thiiiisss.

Though most of what turned me off of reading the classics regularly is that most of it's damn depressing. Sex, death, and racism, all day erry day bah. Not even the fun, lighthearted sex either, but the torrid Freudian shit. It gets oooollldd.

[NobodyPro]

Ethan Frome, y u so depressing?
