Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

Okay, that was weird. The Prayer of St. Francis just made me cry. How freaking random.

Good prayer, though. I do wish I could do something.

Also, how freaking unhelpful is the MBTA Website? Not only does it not say anything about heightened security (which actually is fine, I was just checking), it has a note on the main page to say there's bussing on the Green Line because of problems and to see the Transit Updates page for more information -- and then no information about it on the Transit Updates page. Not that you can find anything on that page anyway.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

They lied to me on Tuesday about a ferry schedule, too. Boo!

So I'm looking up information about apheresis donation (I can't give blood again until the end of this month, but I apparently can give platelets three days after giving blood!) and come across a link about "double red cell" donation, with the following donor criteria: "For men, a donor must weigh at least 150 pounds and be at least 5'1" tall. For women, a donor must weigh at least 175 pounds and be at least 5'5" tall."

Huh. I'm a little overweight at 160 and 5'6". It's kind of a high threshold, isn't it?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Double red is a lot to give, though.

Serial to note:

"Recent studies with patients undergoing open-heart surgery show that even with similar heights and weights, women have lower blood volumes than men." Huh. Guess I should have read to the end.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Aw, Jesus, my grandparents are evacuating, my parents are out of town, and the dog's being boarded. Why is everything SO COMPLICATED?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

For men, a donor must weigh at least 150 pounds and be at least 5'1" tall. For women, a donor must weigh at least 175 pounds and be at least 5'5" tall.

I'm wondering if they've got their criteria for men and women reversed.

[edit: or maybe not. Lower blood volumes, eh?]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I hear you, Dana.

This is for Dennis right? Cindy's petered out?
