Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My day has been keeled dead by the site going down, and then discovering that I couldn't eat for an hour after my typhoid pill, and then sitting down in front of the tennis. With a stomachache.

I still need to go erranding, damn it! But I think the gym has fallen out of the picture.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is hard, Consuela.

I just realized that I have every single move channel right now, as far as I can tell. I'm guessing it's a weekend special, so I'm trying to record everything in the world. It will still be in the DVR even after I don't get the channel anymore, right?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Are you taking malaria meds too? I always enveloped them in banana or something else squishy or I'd be tasting spoons for the rest of the day. And they gave me trippy dreams...

I wasn't around for the Arrayathon, but grateful nonetheless that you sacrificed your day on the alter of b.org, ita.

Hey, I just realized there's a Joss-a-thon on Space. I thought I'd still be entertaining parents...

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Ack, Consuela. I'm glad your mother is okay, and hope the trip in October isn't too bad.

I was going to do 10 zillion loads of laundry today, but since my complex only has 3 machines, I told myself I'd stop whenever I knew someone else wanted the machines. That happened after only 4 loads, so now I have all the essentials washed, and I get to stop, at least for now. Yay!

Suela, is there financial need for them to sell the vacation house? Would they consider putting it in trust for you and your sibs to inherit? Alternately, if you joined forces with your sibs, would you collectively be able to buy it?

signed, very sentimental about houses as some of you know

Silence means security silence means approval

And they gave me trippy dreams...

I had extremely vivid dreams from meflaquin. In one, an axe murderer was attacking my family.

Paludrine I think was responsible for me not getting a sunburn -- or a tan -- after eight weeks in the African sun.

Has anyone heard anything about the following?

The reason why the levee broke in NO was because barges slammed into it?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't need to start malaria meds (malarone) until I leave. So right now it's just the annoying every-other-day of the typhoid meds. Hard to remember, and because of the empty stomach thing, it's not like I can take them as soon as I remember.

Jesse, once you've recorded them they stay, no matter what you can receive.
