I like George. George is cute, and smart, and loyal, and going by the elevator scene, has hidden depths of spine. Also, having a really good job doesn't hurt. I've had enough of those passionate, passion-inspiring men who all turn out to be dangerous, either to the body or the heart. I would happily marry George.

Quotation from the Grey's Anatomy writer about George, with which I heartily disagree: "the guy women appreciate but girls don't love." (from a mildly spoilery TV Guide article). If that's what she thinks...well, maybe I'm a girl (bite me), or maybe she's writing him wrong. As a woman, I'd appreciate a man with more spine.

I'm going to interpret the rest of that quote as meaning that he'll get his shit together, spine-wise.

Also, the guy who plays Alex has five kids in real life? Dag.

If he got his act together and stopped being such a pushover, then sure. Which guy's not better for being fixed?

I'm not a fan of hidden depths of spine. It's one step up from a fixer upper, but still -- why can't you be apparently spineful? Instead of surprisingly so?

I can't think of one.

Beth, I'm glad the house concert was a success. I... sorta forgot about it, and ended up going shopping with my sister in the city. Which exhausted me, and I spent the remainder of the evening crashed on my couch, watching vids and chatting.

I can't think of one.

Okay, Spike. I thought of one. Other than that, though...it's truismlike.

Two big guys, one of whom had a stick followed me in the parking lot at krav. Luckily the guy I was with defended me. Close one, though.

Basically, two of the black belts were pissed I hadn't introduced my father to them. He stepped forward, and it all ended without contusion. I don't know how long it will be until the sight of them looming there won't make me laugh anymore.

In less funny news, ginger ale tastes bad again. I don't know if it's the increased Topamax or the concussion, but it's very sadmaking.

ita, I have a question for you. When you've "fainted," was there anything leading up to it? Like a change in vision or feelings of nausea? Or did you just drop?

I ask because it seems I had a 'sode last night.

Okay, so this is freaking me out a little bit. There's a really strong burny smell in my bedroom. I haven't been smoking in there, so not that, thank god. And there's nothing up against the radiator. So - what then? I did put some new lightbulbs in the ceiling fan earlier - any way that could be related? I want to go put some laundry in but I don't want to go away until the smell does.

Damn, Kristen -- shall we start a group home for the intermittently able? You feeling okay now?

To answer your question, this time I got a really quick darkening of the fringes of my vision, and next thing I knew I was wondering why I'd decided to go to sleep on the floor. The time before, I actually felt the falling.

Brenda, are the lights on?
