You're probably right about waiting a few days before proofreading a paper, but unfortunately for me, I just finished writing the paper now and have to hand it in in a few hours... so it doesn't look like waiting a few days to re-read it will be an option.

I always tend to leave papers to the very last minute, I usually work best under pressure, but sometimes I really wonder if I'd do even better if I gave myself more time to write, re-read and edit things.

That's pretty gross. I'd be pissed too.

I bought NHL-shaped Chef-Boyardee and looking at it now, they don't look like the NHL logo like it does on the label. I feel cheated.

Clemmensen got pulled less than 2 minutes into the Cats/Sabres game last night. He looked extremely depressed , understandably. Butn in other ways he is the new Anderson.

Do they have Bettman-shaped Boyardee?

Me: "Gee Mr. Bettman, are you ever going to let a team into South Ontario, preferably screwing the Leafs over in the process?"

Me pretending to be him: "No, Jammies! Now bend over and take your weekly HNIC edema!"

Me: "I think not - it's curtains for you, dwarf-boy!"

NOM NOM NOM

Me pretending to be him, through a mouthful of pasta-like substance: "Eee! Eeee! Help!"

Have you seen the nail polish that comes in a pen-type thing now? You can paint your nails and it's like you're painting a picture - no bottle to play with, it's lovely!!!

Question for those of you who are smarter than I. I used the self clean feature on my oven for the first time last night, and it seemed to work pretty well. However, I forgot to take out the oven racks, which I remembered I was supposed to do. They seem to have changed colour a little bit, and they're a bit difficult to pull from the oven...they don't slide like they used to.

Are they OK to keep using you think? If not, where does one buy new oven racks that will fit my particular oven?

That's not good, dude. Apparently if you do that, the chemicals from the coating on the racks can get into the heating elements of the oven. It can seriously contaminate your food if you use it after that. My cousin did this once and he ended up having to get a new oven.

I was going to call him a wuss and ask him if he was afraid of getting his skirt dirty, but if you think there may really be an issue...

Stay away from the Sally hansen pen ones. The brushes blow so hard.

Gah! I love them! Try some OPI ones. They're on sale now at Chatters 2 for $15. I have swatches to show you.

This is my horribly botched Russian Navy Matte manicure.

And this is Russian Navy Suede.

This is the first and only upside I've heard for an "economy" oven that doesn't have the self-clean feature (like mine).
