Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

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

Oh! That makes me a little sad I don't have HBO. I'm so slow at catching up on DVD.

Sorry about the suck party, Jess. I hope the PR firm had the (goddamn, it's like I don't speak English anymore with all the words I'm missing) perceptiveness to notice their failure.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We're apparently having a security issue in my office! Apparently there's some man sitting in the reception area, and now we're waiting for the police. Or something. The upshot is, I can't go to the bathroom until it's resolved.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

And if bon bon is around, Kristen Schaal is in it playing their American fan. I'm totally psyched for her -- from BK ad to HBO in less than 5 years!

They advertised the show like three times last night during The Office, and she's totally in the ad! I'm psyched for this show, too.

I just made a blood donation appointment, and now I really don't understand why they call me CONSTANTLY.

I can't get LifeSource to leave me alone. Problem is, they have my work phone number. But, I've got ABneg blood, and have also recently started donating platelets (which is what they really need from ABneg donors, apparently), so they're even more persistant about calling me. I scheduled a donation for Sunday at noon, and they just called to remind me. She tried to get me signed up for another donation in June (since platelet donors can give more often), but I told her I'll call them when I have two hours for the procedure.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

HBO's putting the first ep online for free on Monday. (On HBO.com, I assume.) I meant to say that earlier.

I wish they'd put their stuff on iTunes, though. It would make my TV life much easier.

goddamn, it's like I don't speak English anymore with all the words I'm missing

Huh, so pregnancy really is like a 40-weeklong migraine. And I thought it was just the first trimester.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wanted to say Yay, Grace! for the extubation, but she got reintubated while I was reading the rest of Natter. It's like watching y'all's lives on TiVo. I'm gonna say Yay, Grace and Noah! anyway, though, because they deserve a yay.

Re your brightly-colored skirt, ita, have you tried fixing the dye with a salt-water soak? That worked for one of my brightly-dyed items. Don't know why.

What is even happening?

My current quandary is this lovely Indian skirt that says hand wash except the pattern on it runs awfully. It's a beige skirt with bright colours just above the hem. Am I supposed to wash it separately from itself? I already washed it in delicates with magical Woolite whatever. Now I just look at it sadly.

ita, have you tried Clorox 2? It really helps. It might even remove whatever colors have bled, if you didn't dry the skirt in a machine.

What's my risk of it bleeding colour in the soak? Because it's the running onto itself that upsets me the most. Can't I like, laminate it or something?

eta:

I most certainly did not. Hmm. Still nervous, but more thinky.

It's enough to make me vote for Giuliani.

James Dobson of some big right-wing, "God loves our version of family" organization whose name I'm blanking on swears he'll never vote for Democrats or Giuliani.

This is very exciting. I never did see them live, but their special was fantastic.
