Ohhhh, Sonoma State is near here!!! That would be vera cool.

Kat, I was so hoping that things would go better for your birthday. Actually, I was just so hoping things would go better. I was going to talk about my hopes that hospital issues would go better and that Grace's health would improve. Others have said this more eloquently. And while we can pray and send good thoughts and ~ma, and I do believe in the value of that, in a very real way you were right when you said it was out of your hands. So instead, I send you the strength and patience that I hope comes from knowing that people around the globe are praying and vibing and whatever they do for you and Noah and Grace, every day.

And separately.

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

Peanuts land. Very nice. I liked the library.

Hey, remember that link somebody posted earlier about fat friends making you fat?

Just saw this elsewhere.

Female friendships did not seem to be impacted by obesity. But the chances that a man might gain weight from having a fat pal doubled for so-called mutual friends — friends who both listed each other as buddies.

Man, why did I decide to start the baking so late?

Of course, my main beef with the recipe is that it's JUST NOT DONE YET.

I need reading help because I read this as a main beef recipe and wondered how that connected with ita's baking.

She's baking a cheeky sirloin souffle.

Time does not exist in pretty much the same way that bumblebees can't fly -- in other words, scientists haven't found the right calculations yet to adequately model the phenomenon.

Besides, special relativity correctly predicts time dilation, which is pretty good for something that 'doesn't exist' -- did you know that GPS uses equations to manage time dilation because the satellites are moving fast enough for it to be a factor? GPS locating depends a whole lot on the time being very VERY precise, while both the satellite and the Earth is moving.

I can hardly wait to see the blurb in its entirety! Since our site has been Whedonesqued more than a couple times, et cetera, I'm not too worried about an immense invasion at this point....

So, last night I got home past my bedtime, stayed up too late, etc. So of COURSE someone buzzed me from downstairs at like quarter of five this morning. I just ignored it, because ain't no one trying to get into my apartment at that hour. But I can tell already it's going to be an awesome (half) day at work.

Crying for you, Jesse. Really.
