I'm always depressed the day after a migraine, FWIW

I'm always having a migraine the day after a migraine. Okay, not always. Four days out of five. No time to get depressed! Yay, me.

Except...not.

Anti-depressants are one of the prophylactics they suggested for migraines, but with the fainting, the neurologist decided to start with anti-epileptics.

I just feel so much worse with this headache. I'm not used to being formlessly depressed. I at least like a consistent focus.

So, I don't care for Alito at all. I hope he's not confirmed, but I'm pretty certain he will be. This is one reason among many:

As you know, when Judge Samuel Alito applied for his job in the Office of Legal Counsel in the Meese Justice Department in November 1985, he submitted a list of his memberships and other activities to impress Attorney General Meese and Assistant Attorney General Charles Cooper with his enthusiastic "philosophical commitment" to their particular constitutional, legal, and political point of view.

Among the organizations he listed was "Concerned Alumni of Princeton" (CAP), an organization created in 1972, the year Judge Alito graduated. The organization was described in the press at the time and in its own literature as opposed to the increasing number of women, African Americans and Hispanics at the university. The organization also published articles critical of the rights of the disabled.

A letter Ted Kennedy wrote regarding Alito. Link and quote from dailykos.com

ignoreing everything but the fact that VM, Lost and Bones will be in conflict. right now I tivo VM and catch the Lost reruns. I think if they keep up with VM easy view I can tivo it then , tivo bones and and catch Lost reruns. But only if they easy view vm

Why is it that so many people (teachers, even) are so unswervingly convinced that there really is an unabridged version of The Princess Bride? I know his commentary is convincing, but come on, folks -- Florin and Guilder? You could just look them up.

That's pretty much what I'm going to have to do, Beth. If they don't easy view it, then Bones loses.

I just gave away good dark chocolate. It was kind of sad.

Newish coworker guy just asked me: "How can you sit back here like this all day?"

I looked around my empty, large server room, and simply said, "I like it."

I decided it would be best not to mention the misanthropy, and how I'd probably murderize my coworkers if I were forced to sit out in the cubical farm where he's at voluntarily rather than sharing my office.

Plus, I have a window.

Hivemind request: for Austrialian Buffistas or better Googlers than I

If someone had a 20 year old felony conviction from Australia (drug smuggling), to which government agency would they inquire about applying for a pardon to expunge said conviction from their record?

I've been searching for 2 hours and can't find anything. Maybe such a thing does not exist in Australia?

Past is catching up with you, eh Megan?

Megan, I think billytea has close contacts in the legal field in Australia. He might know someone to ask.

Billytea's dad is a federal judge, IIRC. Bet he can tell you.
