Oof. Good luck to your friend, Heather.
Come on. You drop by for a cup of coffee, and the world's not ending? Please.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oy, Heather, at least this week of hell is almost over. ~ma for your friend, and I hope you feel better.

The Grammy performance of Cry Baby/Peice of My Heart by Joss Stone and Melissa Etheridge is now available on iTunes with all proceeds going to City of Hope and The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation. It is currently the top seller on iTunes. How cool is that?
I bought it! I'm kinda not too sorry I missed seeing the telecast of this, because bald Melissa looks way too much like a friend of ours and the stills are wigging me out. There's an amazing bootleg floating around of Melissa covering "Piece of My Heart" way back in her chick bar days. She's been dying to play Janis Joplin 4EVAH.
Perkins, congrats on your last day at work! And thanks again for the camping stuff - they're on their way to snowcamp on a friend's back today.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
From tommy's inexplicable science link:
A recent analysis of the only known natural nuclear reactor, which was active nearly 2 billion years ago at what is now Oklo in Gabon, also suggests something about light's interaction with matter has changed.
There was a natural nuclear reactor on earth? I thought that only happened on the sun. This is as boggling as accidentally making a black hole in your lab. I suspect scientists are just making shit up.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I'm going to snag that when I get home. Might actually make me feel better. Charlie (the iPod shuffle) is on the fritz though, and I think I may have to reinstall his software.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My shuffle is named chiclet. This doesn't help prevent me putting it in my mouth.

You know, I wonder if they're pissed about the anti-science vibe out there with this administration and have decided to show us what really whacked out stuff they can come up with. "Oh yeah? Invisible guy made the world in a week? Fine. We made a mini black hole in the lab."

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I named mine Charlie because he's wee. If When Mr. H buys me a pretty mini one it will be named Claire, and if when my parents buy me the big honkin' one it will be Hurley.
I do not put Charlie in my mouth.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
