I'm glad you made it home safely, Allyson.

I'm not working, or at least I'm not at work! I woke up with what I thought was a mild sinus headache, but then after I had been at work for a couple of hours, my head said "ha ha, fooled you" and then exploded, so I went home.

Oh dear, Lee.

Breathe shallow, Allyson.

Oh dear, Lee.

I actually don't feel bad, thanks to the meds. Of course, they make me feel stupider than Perkins the cat, and completely unable to drive back to work, but that means inside pants, so it's okay.

Oh, this is random: today (yesterday?) on the subway, I caught a glimpse of something that looked like the Buffy "B" on the front of a guy's sweatshirt, but then he turned around, and it said Krav Maga on the back. ita, was it you??

ita, was it you??

Okay, fuck you.

::sniff::

Yesterday one of the other instructors called me up to be an attacker during the instructor meeting. I made a silly face because my team always calls me up, but it was underscored with "If you hurt my head/neck/ankle/knee/hand I will fuck you up." Lead instructor may or may not have seen this (okay, he totally saw) and told her to call up a male attacker instead. Friend's (thankfully quashed) rejoinder was "But she is looking pretty butch these days."

Which I kinda am, and he can say in private, but it was probably a close call about him saying it in front of my peers and people whose peers I'll never be.

Short story? Manliness sore spot.

::sniff::

Now pain pills, freshly squeezed OJ, and TiVo.

I knew you weren't actually this man, but I also figure you were in LA, and who knows what the transport machine does to a person.

Fuck. Where's the fire??

I can't think of any pictures I've seen of ita that look manish.

What is up with my spam. I was looking through my trash folder to make sure not-spam wasn't getting marked and a number of spams are like this one:

When did spam go from trying to sell you things to being the Jackson Pollock of literature?

Glad you're okay Allyson.

OK, people in fire-nearby areas make sure your smoke detectors are working. Well, everyone should. And I imagine those with nearby fires might be annoyed with the trigger-happy ones, but still. And pack a bag, just in case. Uhg.

The closest I've come to wildfires being a threat was when I lived in Flagstaff and there were fires surrounding the city. I lived on campus, which was a ways from the brush. I worked up in the mountains and used to watch the fires from there. Everything stunk.

My fucking dialup won't stay up and then I get busy signals. I really should upgrade. But I won't. Too cheap, too lazy.
