Nerd Journal: I am Not Yet a Venomous Harridan?

I ran into a former student of mine in town today, and the cheerful undergrad told me (with some surprise in her voice), "You look cute!"

Well, hey! Maybe I haven't turned into a venomous harridan (yet)! It's amazing what a peasant-style summer dress, sandals, and lip gloss can do for one! You know, as a professional nerd who's usually bleary-eyed and coffee-stained, I will take whatever compliments I can get -- and run with 'em.

Then again, it's the WEEKEND. Perhaps I'm only a venomous harridan during the work week...

(On a related note, I have not yet found the polka-dot sundress nor the ribbon-y red sandals of my most recent fashion-based blog-hallucination.)

  2. Nice try, Michael! The next time I'm in Taiwan, though, let's cross paths and you can judge for yourself.

    MM, who may or may not be a venomous harridan.

    Random thought: Is "venomous harridan-ity" in the eye of the beholder? Hmmmm.
