In Western medicine, female hysteria was an incorrectly diagnosed medical condition that is not currently acknowledged by the medical community.

Well, that exact word is no longer used, but everyone knows that the diagnoses of conversion disorder, somatization disorder, and histrionic personality disorder cover different parts of the old hysteria diagnosis.

The diagnosis of hysteria itself goes back to good old Hippocrates. It gets it's name from his theory that the symptoms were cause by a "wandering uterus" that had lodged somwhere in the body where it did not belong.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh thank god -- I got that 01:02:03 04/05/06 thing from my father. I was wondering why no one had emailed it to me yet. Also luckily, it had the "once in a lifetime" caveat, not the NEVER BEFORE, NEVER AGAIN!!!!11!!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Jesse, I got that e-mail from my uncle just now.

But -- how can it be "once in a lifetime"? What about 01:02:03 PM?

That's 13 hundred hours, sailor.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

What about 01:02:03 PM?

I suspect that the timestamp prescriptivists would say it doesn't count because it's really 13:02:03. Feel free to be all handwavey and @@ at them.

Oh, you know what? Whenever I see a time with a colon in it (01:02, for instance), I assume it's non-military time. It has to be colon-free for me to even grasp that it's military time.

Well, that makes sense, then.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

This just in: I learned during the Institute seminar today that there exists a Human Foamy Virus.

I leave the symptoms of infection to the Buffistas' collective imagination.

Rabies?

My division head sent out the time thing. And the most anal retentive literalist (not me) replied with the variants and 100 years thing. Which I so expected him to do. He catches every typo, every grammar error. He really is wasted as a scientist.

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

I'm watching Thief.

Hmm.

Interesting.

I've also cleaned my fridge.

Less interesting.

The guy who dumped his meeting on me and took a powder emailed me to ask what this rescheduled meeting was about and if he needed to come.

Completely uninteresting.
