DH swears they were eye-to-eye when he was on the Serenity set.

Adam Baldwin quoted here (http://www.celebheights.com/s/Adam-Baldwin-268.html)

US Actor from Full Metal Jacket and more recently Firefly and Serenity. Said in 2004 xpose magazine, "I'm 6'4. David Boreananz is a big guy too, maybe 6'1". I am 230 pounds so he's probably 200, 210. He's a formidable presence so it's not like I can dominate him. Plus, they put the camera angles lower so it makes him look bigger."

DB is also not as tall as I'd been assuming.

He is, unless they've been boxing him this whole time. JAR and AD are tall. He's of a height with them. He's taller than AA, who's around my height.

even if I knew how to fight, I don't think I could do it in the context of breaking up a fight.

Some of the skills you learn in learning how to fight would serve you in breaking one up, and can't really be taught effectively in isolation.

I also saw Adam Baldwin at DragonCon, and unless he was wearing some serious KISS boots, there's no way he's 5'7''.

The trial I was a juror on is done. It's fairly depressing subject matter, so does anyone mind if I post about it?

No. I'd be curious, in fact.

I'm always fascinated by juries and etc.

The one time I've donated platelets so far, they got almost enough for three people out of me, plus "beautiful plasma," according to the phlebotomist working there!

Yay! I, OTOH, am just willing to do it. Or was. For a while I figured the willingness was enough, but eh. I'm awesome at whole blood -- quick, easy, feel fine. Platelets, NSM.

See, this makes sense to me, but I'm still worried about the learning to fight bit, what with the pacifism and all. I think I could do it, but I don't know how I'd do with the dredging up aggression bits of learning to fight. That is to say, I'd do fine with aggression. I have plenty of pent-up aggression. But I think training on it'd probably end up contrary to my pacifism. But then, my belief in pacifism, like my belief in anarchism, is only idealistic.

I should just study. I'd like it.

eta: Dana, definitely talk about it. It's fine.

Go for it, Dana.

The idea of Homeland Security being run like the NYPD under Guliani makes me want to run screaming to Canada.

GHOULiani, you mean? I like to imagine him in presidential debates, stuttering, "No you shut up! No you shut up! Who is the boss here?!" Hint: it is impossible to act like an Airedale terrier and look presidential at the same time.

I wish they'd take my blood, dammit. I totally don't mind the procedure.

Just texted some unboredom advice to a HS senior stuck at what she terms a feminist art display with too much nudity. I suggested she apply what we've told her about the fetish map as needed.

That'll put marzipan in your pie plate, bingo.

Made appointment with doctor about finger--Monday. Other people have verified existence of lump. Hrrrm.

Now I have to do a referral chasedown to get my new migraine guy covered by the new insurance.

And I have to work out how to convince myself to eat. I don't want to grow out of many more of my clothes, but this isn't the way to do it.

There's an article in this month's Vanity Fair about Giuliani: [link]

Basically, the article makes the case that Giuliani is (very) bipolar.
