50g olive oil equal to about 20 mg ibuprofen in painkilling efficacy. (So not quite a replacement therapy. But still cool!)

Here, this should give everybody a chuckle (it's a pic of me with the Conundrum from X-Files): [link]

And for Hec, back of my recent haircut. It may not be as short as some, but I chopped of a few inches: [link]

Good color, good nape. Good choice, I say.

Glommcookie is very, very cute. That is all.

Interview went OK, I think. I liked the people I'd be working with. They're interviewing 5 people, though, and trying to make a decision before the boss leaves for Europe next week. So I'm going to email my thank you and then try to forget about it as best I can.

Right now I'm feeling generally pessimistic, but it's probably just a post-adrenaline crash or something.

I'm sorry, Jilli. I hope they do find another position for you.

Why is it that Dark Chocolate Hershey Kisses don't really taste like dark chocolate?

I think you will find the answer you're looking for in the use of the word 'Hershey'.

owever, the T. Gigantea (don't google. Just. Don't.) ALWAYS trigger my phobia, and hard.

I googled! And got a tree. Of northwestern America, so I'm close.

Ok, found it. Yep, that would be hard to ignore. I know this won't help with the phobia thing, but it does note that T. gigantea keeps hobo spiders out of your house. Hobo spider bites can cause a necrotic reaction like brown recluses, so gigantea makes a much better neighbour.

T. Gigantea? Yup, they are big buggers. And fast. Held the world record for spider speed until 1987. they've been clocked at 1.73 ft / sec or something.

And from what I can gather, the new record-holder is a solifugid, and thus not strictly a spider at all.

It goes on the halflings head.

This can work in your favour! You can accessorise with duck tiaras to complement your own.

Oh, Jilli, I'm SO sorry! I really thought this was the one.

I have a killer migraine. I've had it since this afternoon, but kept hoping it would go away. It's not. I don't even have the energy to walk my poor dog. Ugh. This is not fun.
