I look more rad than Lutheranism

bon bon, despite my desire to make a smart-ass comment about the potential cause of your swollen lymph nodes, Hec is right -- your body is fighting off an infection.

Or -- and this is common when springtime and all its attendant pollen and other allergens roll around -- your body isn't fighting off an infection, per se, not like a virus; your body could be, essentially, overreacting to the onslaught of springtime allergens.

That would be me. My lymph nodes stay pretty much permanently swollen during allergy season, 'cause my immune system's all "OH NOES POLLEN! AMASS THE TROOPS ALONG THE SINUS BORDER!!!"

Really? My immune system is much more "BITCH! I *KNOW* I TOLD YOU TO STAY INSIDE UNTIL JULY!!! NOW YOU WILL SUFFER FOR DISOBEYING ME!!!"

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

It has (just) occured to me that krav is the perfect place to spread a cold or its ilk. I punch an infected person in the face, and then I punch a healthy person next round.

Ick.

But I'm pretty sure that's not what happened to you, bon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know what Lexus gave all the journalists at the launch? An iPod Nano. Suh-weet.

That is so sweet! I have got to get a job that comes with swag. You have no idea how exciting it was for me the one year I was a vendor contact, so I got free mugs and candy and shit.

Heh. I had so many coffee mugs I finally had to clear them all out of the cupboard, they were taking it over. What I liked best was being taken out to lunch or dinner at fancy restaurants where I wouldn't normally eat. Part of it was the food, part of it was being able to take a long lunch on the company clock.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Why is Blue Mountain coffee so damn good? I bought some randomly yesterday, because it was there and it hardly every is. Not only does it taste amazingly good, I actualy feel better than I have in days.

Weird.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

ita, I don't know if you watch SVU, but last night, they had a little girl on the playground doing Krav.

For some reason, I end up with a lot of pens. Oh yeah, government and academia.

OTOH, the squishy telescope stress relievers are awesome.

To be fair, I get some very shiny lithos.
