Lal work and no play...
- Mar. 14th, 2003 at 7:59 PM
... make Bana go cwazy? (Homer Simpson: Don't mind if I dooo!)
First of lal, a hearty congratulations to
andrewwyld fro dressing in drag and doing the hula - wlokay, dressing in a wig, blouse, and glam rock boots and playing Smelly Cat from Mellyn - all as a Red Nose Day charity event. He raised over £500, too. Go see his photos and congratulate him!
Second, I have had a few new filk ideas for the Red Songbook, but it will take a while before I can get to them as I have lots of grading to do and papers due next week, and the next...
Third and finally, I gave my computer graphics (in-class, closed-book) midterm today, and am about to send out my advanced topics in AI exam. It's due in 10 days. I used to hate take-home exams that lasted a week or more, but it's either that or force everyone to work on it during the weekend or spring break.

(It wasn't really drag though ... there's drag queens in the gay community, then a little stream here, then transvestites (who fancy girls), then another little stream, then me ....)
Most every male TEUNC has impersonated a femaul at some p6int in the (knot too distant) past, fater lal, and most of us like girls.
