    D'you get Eurozone employment eligibility, or would everyone need work visas?
  2. Show me your desk/gaming space

    (Because laptop.)
  3. I had an idea for my song last week.

    The "Jessica Alba" label appears to be in... comic sans
  5. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    They're probably the only ones that kept waving wodges of cash in his face, at that point. Dollhouse was originally commissioned as a Dushku vehicle and she lobbied to bring Whedon in, so he didn't have any choice about taking it to another network (or kicking out her five-by-five ass). He's very loyal to his actors (even when he shouldn't be) so even if she weren't locked in through that mechanism he probably would have kept her.

    Maybe you could make it work long-distance as long as your long-distance has a finite ending point - e.g. 6 months or 12 months. That way you could parlay your first job in Norway into a second job in Brazil (or Sweden, I guess?) or at least save up enough cash during that time that once you move to Brazil you won't have to live in a favela while you search for jobs. (Or she could search for jobs in Norway using your Norwegian address while being physically in Brazil.)
  7. Do you have a carpet installed yet? (Not just for echo avoidance - I'm also considering Sean's sockless feet, as surely he would like to take his shoes off and dig his toes into some plush deep pile carpet.) (that sounds much creepier than I meant it.)

    Twig! Do you have a Graduate Student Services or an advisor you can get involved with this? Having someone else on your side may really help. (I had to get GSS involved when I hurt my arms and needed a professor to accept my Workers Comp paperwork as proof of my need for accommodation; having someone Official get involved really put a firework up the prof's bottom. (NOT LITERALLY.)) Edit: Oh, I see you say you feel guilty about going over his head. Well, if you have an advisor, that's not so much going over his head as it is getting one of his peers to weigh in for you. Maybe he could bump your grade by 3% pending your submitting a piece of makeup work over the summer, or do the official version of that by turning your C- into an Incomplete?
  9. Idle Thumbs Motorcycle Club

    I've thought about getting a Vespa, but "fat girl on a scooter" is such a ready-to-deploy punchline.
  10. Anyone ever wonder if maybe the spiders are farming us?

    Thanks, peeps! But scratch the summa: it turns out that my institution doesn't give out the latin honours for graduate degrees, only undergraduate degrees. The 4.0 and straight As still stand. (I know - such talent, such ability, and I waste it making irritating snarky one-liner comments on an internet forum. Tch, eh?)
  12. The threat of Big Dog

    IROoXFz5dj0 Head Care Robot. It takes care of your fragile human skull.
  13. Life

    Turns out that not only did I finish my graduate degree, I finished it with straight As. 4.0, summa cum laude, motherfuckers!
  14. Unnecessary Comical Picture Thread

    Which of you was this?
  15. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    Haha, S.Hammack and I are rewatching Buffy and just got to the "goodbye, Riley" stage. Moment of celebration, the meathead buff army guy love interest has gone! Oh. Immediately, he's replaced by buff doctor intern guy/Glory puppet.
  16. Idle Thumbs Motorcycle Club

    I tried to imagine an Idle Thumbs outlaw biker gang ("The Shitty Wizards") and giggled for so long that I hyperventilated.
  17. Favorite early cancelled TV series

    Because I am of the female persuasion, it is My So-Called Life.
  18. Can anyone use Dreamweaver?

    Terminal? Psh. I get my Idle Thumbs forum updates via carrier pigeon.
  19. Can anyone use Dreamweaver?

    Learn you both the history of CRLF and weep, because line endings will provide fresh ammo for the perpetual Mac/Win/*nix wars. Oh, harken unto the lamentations of the mothers as their children march to fuel a new generation of the Holy OS Wars! Elders are gone from the gate, Young men from their music. The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.
  20. Zorro Joins Double Fine

    Until S.Hammack explained and made me read the thread, I thought the title meant that DF had acquired another game company that was called Zorro.
  21. Can anyone use Dreamweaver?

    If it doesn't come in the form of an Eclipse plug-in, I will not formally recognize it
