Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

"What, they hit him THERE? How is he not dead or a vegetable?"

It's not about where you hit someone, it's more about how hard. Sean's right--you're not going to be able to get anything on a scale larger than minutes out of unconsciousness itself. If you want him inactive you're going to need to do something else.

Ah, great. It's not so much the interest that's the barrier--I have to account for the unemployment I received this year. That's going to be its own little challenge to research.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

I can't believe it, but at last, I finished the mini-project for work.

Just let me say that when I have a deadline that's about to pass any minute now, the safe way to make sure I'll stay focused on my work ISN'T planting spikeithard.com into the list of sites for me to index.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

This is the part of the morning where I suddenly realize that I'm not on my way to class, because somehow the day has sprung forward an hour or so. And it happens nearly every weekday, too!

Mornings are hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh.

Yikes - be well mac. Is the nausea gone at least? Nothing worse than having nausea (and possibly needing to throw up) on top of all that other ick.

Cate Blanchett has has a 3rd son: Dashiell, Roman, and now Ignatius Martin.

I guess they can call him "Iggy."

I'm bummed out that Dashiell will be played out before I ever get a chance to use it.

But not bummed out that I don't have a 9:30 meeting after all! Except for the fact that the meeting was to go over stuff that has to be done by tomorrow.

Punishingly Intricate

I love Cate Blanchett's babys' names!

You guys, I biked 40 miles yesterday!!! On my bike! I'm not nearly as sore as I thought I would be today. er...some parts are sore though.

And I came home and found out I didn't have to completely empty out my kitchen last night. thank god. I did a lot of organizing though AND made a big pot of turkey & black bean chili, some to eat and some to freeze!

I do have to finish cleaning out the kitchen tonight but I think it won't be that big of a project. Then I learn to live without stove and, what will be more of a pain, without a sink on the same floor I'll be cooking on.
