It's good to have cargo. Makes us a target for every other scavenger out there, though, but sometimes that's fun too.

Punishingly Intricate

no review?

sorry I posted and then went to practice but, the book is not reviewed in the EW. Instead there is a little sidebar story about it. I'm pretty sure it got more words devoted to it than one of their actual reviewed books (other than the main book reviewed, which is Harry Potter this week) would get. Actually it's in the HP Special Collector's Issue so I bet the magazine will sell more copies than it usually does.

Punishingly Intricate

I think the doctors are appalled at the thought of a DNR, where I am appalled at the idea that for Grace anything less than an intact survival is enough.

I find it really, really hard to believe that you are the first parent in a similar situation who wanted the same thing for their child and I don't understand why they wouldn't have talked to you about this kind of thing before you had to bring it up with them! As if the situation wasn't hard enough already.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Kat, I expect the hospital has some kind of Ethics board where you could bring up the issue.

will inevitably describe a universe in which, ultimately, there is no time.

I suspect that Time as we perceive it is basically a function of our limited perception. We're dim like that.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I just got invited to speak at sonoma state university, which is somewhere up north.

This is weird for us, right?

I wish this day were happier for you, Kat. Strength to you in this difficult time.

That's very cool, paperdol. Maybe weird, but definitely cool. Sonoma State is in Santa Rosa, I believe, though there may be several campuses.

But what does it say?

I tried to look it up online. I'm going to try to grab a copy tomorrow.
