Sorta dumb to use a police code as your secret code from, you know, the police. Even stoned people couldn't be that dumb.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

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

I feel so very out of it, since I had no idea what that meant.
Me too. I had no idea. Although now the police-code thing has been mentioned, maybe I had heard of it, but in the context of teenager slang.

What is even happening?
I thought maybe it was some code for someone who had undergone a sex change.

Mostly lurking...
So, um, I think I'll go to bed. Did I study for my final tomorrow? Nope. Why would I do a silly thing like that?
I did buy a swimsuit today, though. So freaking depressing. Three sizes larger than my last suit, which is kind of why I needed it, but still. I complain about this as I sit and eat a bowl of fully fat ice cream and had chicken quesadillas filled with cheese and chicken and guacamole and sour creamy goodness for dinner.
I also bought three pairs of shoes--sandals, I might add. The retail therapy, she is good. Now, did I really need three new pairs of sandals? Especially half-way through summer? No. But they sure are pretty!

Because there are 420 things different between men and women?

No, because the guy was adamant it was not sexual, but he would not share a bedroom with a male, and would only accept a female, and he read as nuts, so I figured the aliens told him which numbers to choose.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
My dad just called. My mom's in the hospital again. It's probably nothing, but I'm still kind of worried.

Hil, I'm so sorry. Many good thoughts for your mom (and you and dad, too).

Hil, may it turn out to be only something that seemed scary, but not really.

Thanks, guys. She's been in the hospital several times with the same symptoms before, and usually it's been nothing. Except for the few times when it has been something. But this seems more like a "nothing" time, and they're just running a few more tests, to be sure.
