I had vertigo when I had Franny. It was so weird, took me 3 weeks to figure out I had it. I was so out of it, and I kept saying to DH "It sounds like everyone is talking underwater" and he agreed with me, so it took a while before I realized that it was actually a symptom.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

That is pretty cool, sarameg.
Okay I just got DH to take the kids to a neighbor's house so I could finish the damn grading. I WILL finish damnit.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Well, Emily, I'm glad you went in. I'm glad it's just a cold, and sorry that you had to go through all the medical hassle just to find it out.

My dad is a bigger geek than I will ever be. Last I checked (15 years ago) the local natural sciences museum still had the 3d moon model he built in high school.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
That's really cool, Sara. More the Sputnik than the moon model. Heh.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The first picture taken from space
In 1946, taken at an altitude of 65 miles from a camera in a V-2 rocket.
Fred Rulli was a 19-year-old enlisted man assigned to the recovery team that drove into the desert to retrieve film from those early V-2 shots. When the scientists found the cassette in good shape, he recalls, "They were ecstatic, they were jumping up and down like kids." Later, back at the launch site, "when they first projected [the photos] onto the screen, the scientists just went nuts."

ARGH! I just spoiled myself for Top Chef via Gawker. I was being so good at avoiding places I thought would spoil me! Bah. Maybe I can put it out of my mind before the weekend.

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
Scrabulous is a game on facebook. It's similar to Scrabble, and you can play with anyone else who has the application.
I adore it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's not just similar to Scrabble. I wonder how they're getting away with that. It's Scrabble but not in real time (though a friend and I are thinking about giving that a shot--Yahoo has a game a little less similar to Scrabble that was real time. Haven't played it in yonks, though).
The work issue I ended up being adult on was one where a coworker added his boss and mine to the recipients and got snappy with me. I almost got involved (in a land war in Asia), but remembered that he's never anything but polite on the phone or in person, so I put the priority of getting information ahead of the priority of smacking him down in public.
You think if you'd given me what I wanted right away I'd had to have sent you 13 emails? Not doing this for my health or my looks.
Grr. Still had to send a butt covering email to my boss, though, and that stings.
