The BBC will tell you how smart you are -- scroll over to the right and down.
So far I'm a lot better at geography than at history, but not that good at either.
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

Oh fun. I just got to call 911. Over a girlfight apparently going on below me. Not sure at all what is/was going on, but when there are "get out of my house" and thumps that disturb neighbors not above them, that's what I do.
There is a section of wrought iron lyingon the grass. What else am I supposed to do?

That's not the good sort of exciting, sara. Want me to come over and break it up?
I'm better at French than geo or hist. Ironically -- my three worst high school subjects. And I did quite decently at the French quiz.
I'm scared to take a quiz in something I was good at.

Sure! Cops came rather promptly (I'm used to being put on hold and then 45+ minutes, but this time I got 3 whole cops, including a woman!) and got to hear that the deadbolt was supposedly jammed and so the cops mocked each other into jumping onto the balcony.
I'm just wondering, can I go to bed yet? And..not wondering, but I should really move.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
There was a guy from Columbia's School of Public Health, and he was terrifying in general.

Did you have to call the cops on him?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm cold. I wish I weren't.

Uhg... still no cop visit and I want to sleep. I got one last time, but I didn't greet them with a "HI! I'm the one who called!" from the balcony last time. A scotch didn't help that (yeah, I'm a good witness, I'm an easy drunk!) and just... my aspen-birch-whatever sheets are calling!

Fuckit, I'm going to bed. It's quiet now. They have my number from 911.

Not sure what happened to that last post in getting from my head to the posting box, but I meant to say the guy from Columbia was on The Daily Show a while ago. And also talked about the bird flu, but not just that.
Edit: And back with Actual Information, it was Irwin Redlener, he's a disaster preparedness guy, and you can get to the the clip from here: [link]
