Couscous is a grain, morons.

Dear Dining Hall Staff.

This is couscous. It is not carrots or yellow squash, neither is it zucchini or mushrooms, nor is is chickpeas or those really creepy rehydrated raisins. Please learn your foods, kthx.

In other news, the weather out there is delightful. Sunny and warm and delightful. Made this afternoon's fire drill pleasant, even if it did wake me up from a trippy dream (I was napping). But damn, the alarm in this building is painful.

Exam today went well, happily. That means no more midterms until mid-April. I'm a happy bunny.

And a bored, horny bunny with spring fever. I get crazy and stupid this time of year. Someone needs to make sure I don't do anything stupid (like a guy, for example :P).

The last Stargate ep (ever! *sniffles*) airs in Britain tonight, but I can't get to it; the account that was posting them on YouTube was suspended. Anyone know where I can get them? Not that I would ever do anything illegal, of course, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

couscous isn't actually a grain, it's a type of pasta, i belive it's made out of semolina.

actually, what i meant to say was, it's traditionally viewed as a type of pasta and only treated as a grain in european countries....very confusing, really. but you're right, it's none of those weirdo vegetables.

My couscous background is European, so it makes sense like that in my head. :)

Yup. It's a starch, and theoretical it can fill the grain portion of a meal.

Yeah, I know, my word choice was inelegant, but I think I made my point?

BTW, Correll is to be on campus tomorrow. Will hangoutage ensue?

Perhaps. I have to head down to Dupont for 5:30, but sometime in between should be shiny.
