Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

poor misunderstood Jesse.

Since I'm posting links to articles, this was an incredibly endearing column about Caltech's crappy basketball team called Humble Pi (login latimes@dodgeit.com, password: password):

The Beavers have not won an NCAA game in 13 years — they have 190 consecutive NCAA defeats.

They have not won a Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game in 21 years — that's 237 consecutive conference loss.

It doesn't take a team of math geniuses — which, um, they are — to figure out what this means.

"The probability of us winning a game is barely detectable, it involves many variables, it's very small but it's there," says Yang Hai, a sophomore guard. "We do have a mathematical chance of winning. But it has to fall into the chaos theory."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you people not have something like menupages.com?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

My condolences to Jon and his family and Quester and her family.

Thanks to Sparky1 for inviting me to her shindig. I got to puts some names to faces and had a fun time geeking out with bethb's husband. (Who is a prince among men for reaching out to help me acclimate at the event.)

Congratulations, ita! You're really amazing.

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

$25 minimum, 5% handling charge, $7 delivery fee. But it did remind me I think I do have a menu for a not-that-great Indian place around, and I've worked myself into a craving.

I'm madly hyper right now, which is kind of creepy. I think it's because I went into the test from a different place. They're all dead, peeling themselves up off the floor to crawl home. I'm bouncing around my living room.

I may also be scared to stop moving.

I'm finding Grey's Anatomy a little disturbing. The lady withthe DNR is oddly much like what happened with my father today. He wasn't in a hospital, he'd decided never to go back so he was on hospice. But, my brother, sil and one sister were there with him all day on the deathwatch.Wierd to have this episode on today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

quester, I'm so sorry for your loss.

I was having troubling thoughts watching GA, myself. It's making me think too much of what's likely to happen to my mother someday.

I'm watching Mile High. I like the new people, but where the hell is Jase ?
