I learned that the 1949 version of The Secret Garden is very good. Also, I don't want to be at work on such a gorgeous day. But I already knew that.

I don't think the people who were opposed to her nutrition and hydration being removed were claiming she didn't have either massive or irreversible brain damage though (well, at least not the non-nutters). In fact, one of the contentions was that, sometimes, when there is a Mis-diagnosis of PVS, when the patient is blind.

I'm not sure this is quite how I remember it. For one thing, I don't think you can say that "there's often misdiagnoses of PVS when a patient is blind" at the same time as you say "look - she's tracking the balloon - ergo, no PVS." I know there were some people, such as yourself, who were very thoughtful and caring in your discomfort with what was happening. But a lot of the argument being thrown around elsewhere was troll logic.

I've discovered how to use the ForceType Apache directive to clean up my URLs.

That seeing the "Check Engine" light pop up on my dashboard four days after spending $2000 to replace the damn engine can really PISS ME OFF!!

Ahem. Sorry about that.

My folks and I have all made it clear to each other that we don't want to be kept alive under those sorts of conditions. My feeling is, in the extremely unlikely event that I was fully aware and conscious while being unable to move or communicate, my thoughts would be a constant loop of "put me out of my misery already, fuckers!"

I learned that the secret to making the bad weather go away is to get my hair cut extremely short the better to withstand the soul-crushing heat. Pre-haircut, 90º. Post-haircut? 76º! Brilliant!

Oh, and I learned that goat is more popular than ever in the US.

[eta: Oh, and just now, I learned the HTML entity for the degree sign. ]

I have to confess, during this most recent humidity I had awesome hair. That extra half-curl did wonders.

Maybe it was just your new engine's way of saying "Check me out! I'm totally shiny and new!!!" ?

Hey, has it gotten all cool out down here too? I haven't been outside since 9.

It's certainly nicer in my office today. Yesterday it was up to about 82 by the time I left for home.

I have learned that I can watch the BMW movies in streaming video at my desk. And Whole Kitchen Shu Mai is pretty tasty.

THIS is an excellent lesson.

I'm about to learn about htaccess redirection, and maybe how to deflect cheery people.
