That's funny, I was just thinking I wish doctors would talk to my kids about sex so I don't have to.

Caspian

I am fascinated by this ongoing protest. Anyone else keeping track of developments? Anyone occupying anything? Anyone deeply offended on behalf of Wall Street traders?

Caspian

So I made three kinds of pie today (for Thanksgiving). What did you do?

To be Caspian in Grad School you would need: Attire There's a lot of leeway here, but you're definitely not looking for anything too nice. If you want to play it really safe you want: T-shirt with a clever (but never objectionable) saying or logo on it, OR a button-up long sleeved shirt. Tweed sport...

Dear Students,

Why do you do this to yourselves? Why do you do this to me? Handing in an essay you got online just makes life suck for both of us.

Caspian

Yeah you're totally right.

Caspian

Are you sure?

Caspian

The witness being the judge just doesn't sound like a good idea. It's a conflict of interest, isn't it?

Caspian

It depends on what kind of workout I'm doing, and partially on my mood I guess. I'll listen to something different if I am doing sprints and really need to get pumping than if I'm doing a long slow run and just need to keep going. Here, in alphabetical order, are some of my favourite workout songs: ...

Google+ !!! It's like Facebook but it's NOT Facebook!

Caspian

You should protest.

Caspian

I take my ring off to make bread, but that's about it.

Though I do fidget with it, sliding it on and off, all the freaking time.

Caspian

Coffee's totally a plant. I've picked it off of trees with my own hands.

Caspian

I only just got the chance to see this. It is stupendous.

Caspian

Dear Luet, I'm really sorry I was mean to you. Reading over what I wrote makes it seem even meaner than it did at first, and in my anger I am ashamed to say I was aiming to be a little bit mean. Sticking your neck out is good. I'm truly sorry to give you cause to regret it. That said--though I'm way...

Caspian

Dear Alea, If you're serious about being absent from the board (and I don't know why you would say it if you weren't serious) you might not see this, and even if you do it might not change your mind. I want to say it anyway. I also want to make sure that the difficulty of expressing emotion in writi...

Caspian

Confession: I care way more about people being mean to my wife than I care about the well being of pweb.

One more reason I will never ever be a mod or anything like it.

Caspian

I can't stress strongly enough that this is Caspian talking, not Jayelle. She'll probably be annoyed with me for saying this and it's said without input from her. Dudes. What the hell is wrong with you? Jan's in charge until she actually DOES anything and then you start throwing little hissy fits? T...

I just noticed a request I never fulfilled! Here you are Alea:

Hush Now it's Time for Ukulele

Caspian

I've never read (or seen the adaptations of) a shocking number of classical novels - e.g., To Kill a Mockingbird.

Not classical. Classic. Classical would be, like, The Aeneid. Which I bet you have read. [/pedantic]

Free to Be You and Me

I've been thinking a lot lately about how it used to seem possible that sexism would just end. This is a memory of those optimistic days.

Caspian

"More well written"? Oh Jan.

Caspian

The gay library assistant at the university referred to me as "handsome".

Caspian

And of course in Canada the whole thing's flip-flop.

Caspian

See, Mobius and EL, I read "Women should be cherished and protected by men" as a completely different statement than "People should cherish and protect each other". "Women should be cherished and protected by men" is explicitly a question about women and men, not a ques...

Caspian

Oh good gravy. Wedding planning is stressful under the best circumstances, and it sounds like your circumstances are not being best.

Someone gave me this piece of advice, and it really helped us: "As long as you're married when it's all over, it was a success."

Here you go Kimmie:

As requested by Mich: Beatles songs.

Because it took me so long, I made two videos. The first one is the one I originally wanted to do, and is my favourite Beatles song. The second one is another Beatles song that I suddenly realized was WAY easier to play. So you get both.

Also she snorts when she laughs.

Caspian

I find I'm rather uncomfortable talking about my sex life here, primarily because my partner is also here.

Ditto.

Caspian

She didn't actually say it on the board, but this was requested by Jayelle.

I'm working on a Beatles song for you Mich -- unsurprisingly Beatles songs are usually harder than they look.

In the mean time, here's one nobody requested:

How long did it take you to learn it? By ear or sheet music? Did you know you are awesome? It only took about half an hour to learn the ukulele part, and of course I already knew the singing part. But putting them together took a few hours of practicing, spread over several days. It's a surprisingl...

Okay Gravity Defier, this one is for you:
