Anya: We should drop a piano on her. It always works for that creepy cartoon rabbit when he's running from that nice man with the speech impediment. Giles: Yes, or perhaps we could paint a convincing fake tunnel on the side of a mountain.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"We sent a pulse through an optical fiber, and before its peak even entered the fiber, it was exiting the other end. Through experiments we were able to see that the pulse inside the fiber was actually moving backward, linking the input and output pulses."
Exciting! Also...Disturbing! Damn Physicists.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Liese- has he seen a doctor - strep is one of those things that can come and go with out really going if you are a carrier - and it can get worse if you do nothing
Well, sort of. We only carry crazy-ass-you're-about-to-die insurance, so we don't really have yet a regular physician. Which means that the last time it hit, we called around and couldn't find anyone taking new patients with appointments available in the next three weeks. (Which would have been fine, it turns out, his symptoms would have recurred by then.)
All that is to say, we went in to the immediate care center, where he was examined for 7 minutes by a doctor who said, "You're sick." and gave him some sort of muscle relaxant which he never took because the sore throat dissipated then. At that time, he did get tested for strep and came back negative. But you know, not really the most trusted medical experience he's ever had.
And then they charged him $200. So that was comforting.
Also? The backward light thing? Confusing. And very cool. I am waiting for my backward traveling faster than light car any minute now. Might wait a bit longer for them to work out the navigational issues.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm pretty sure that nyquil-->sleep plan didn't work out the way I had hoped.
On the plus side, I am kind of stoned.

Beth, I talked to my friend T the other day. He tells me that Matt is encouraging his new obsession and he now owns 30 ukeleles. Ergh?
BTW, are you all coming to any of the F2F festivities?

I hear they're coming out with a smokey, Pete peat flavored Nyquil.
