Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, I may not be at work, but I still don't want to do anything! I had big big plans for today, but maybe not.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Doesn't her character being gay risk highlighting and underlining the stereotype? So manly that she does women? Is it in the execution then, that it's avoided? Because on paper it seems textbook.

I haven't seen the show, but based on your post and a quick skim of the article you linked to, I can see the risk. But I agree with the implication in your last question, that it's one of those things that could be handled well.

On another subject, Hubs has asked me to ask the DCistas to recommend a vet for a second opinion for Teddy. He wants to talk to another vet to be sure there isn't anything Teddy's vets haven't already thought of.

Yesterday, I tried to schedule a PTO for today, but my boss already had a doctor's appointment so I had to be here. Which ended up being all right, because the manager who was in charge of the post-move server testing we did here in the department is taking us testers out to lunch! Also, since my boss isn't here, it's a tad less stressful today, and I can finish off the couple of projects I have to do this week.

Maybe I can get Friday off, instead? Mmm, something to think about...

Fred, I love my vet up here (it's sarameg's vet also, btw) but I don't know if they'd do a phone consult or you'd actually have to bring him in. But if you want the number let me know.

I have a question for NYistas, do any of you do yoga? Do you have a yoga studio that you'd recommend? My yoga teacher friend and I are going up there next weekend and want to take a class somewhere.

Art Crawl!!!

Jericho is coming back (in repeats) on July 6th.

According to the Futon Critic CBS will air Jericho starting with the "Return to Jericho" recap and continuing with all the episodes from the second half of the season, i.e., when the show improved.

Unfortunately, it's airing at the same time as Doctor Who (I think) - well, Fridays at 9 Eastern.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'd be interested in the number, lisa, but you're in Baltimore, correct? I wouldn't like to subject Teddy to such a long drive.

A little more background that I may not have mentioned -- we've took him to a specialist already. And the regular vet is consulting with the specialist regularly. I'm torn between wanting to do everything possible and fearing that we already are. If it's the latter, I don't want to feed Hubs's denial.

Anyway, I ended up being at the clinic for 6 1/2 hours.

Okay, ew. That kind of sucks, Tom. Although now you have me wondering how blind I am based on the Snellen chart. I know my numerical prescription in diopters.
