I have a meeting tomorrow at a place I worked over the summer, for my final project. I can wear regular work clothes, right? Not a suit? (They don't wear suits.)
I would be there right now.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, flaming otters, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I really need to go to the gym. But it's gross and rainy out. I may go have scotch and watch Bleak House instead...
It's that kind of a day, I think, at least around here. I was just thinking I would stop at the store on the way home and get chili or mac and cheese, plus make sure I have hot toddy makings. Curling up on the couch all night seems highly appropriate.
OOH! Also, I am pretty sure I hit the beginning of the good part of Farscape, since I stayed up far too late watching it last night, and now want to see the rest NOW!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Damn, I missed the whole decapitation discussion.
I think being decapitated would be the weirdest thing. Assuming that your head landed facing the right way (or you were decapitated by someone who thoughtfully oriented your head before you died) you'd be all, "Huh, I never saw my body from this perspective before...."

In non-decapitation news:
Depending on three different flight scenarios, Hocking and Foster found that airline passengers in three different scenarios were 5, 23, or 113 times more likely to catch a cold than if they had not flown at all!
...
The most logical reason for infections would seem to be the limited amount of cabin air shared by the passengers. But Hocking, Foster and other scientists have found this is only one factor. The very low humidity in an airplane seems to be much more important.
...
Very dry air dries up the mucous system that captures and expels bacteria and viruses from our noses. This may be a key reason why airplane passengers catch more colds.
So, another reason to be excited when the Boeing 787 arrives, as increased cabin humidity will be one of its features.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Bones: loved that security rating thing

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Trudy! I find myself wondering, when was the last time your tagline did not reference the hoors?

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Trudy, way the Hell too long (although I've been watching Season 1). I think it's new next week, though
