"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

My brother has high iron in his blood and had to go get "bled" regularly for a while. Now it is less often, but we joked alot about the bloodletting there for a while.

This is me! Minus the bloodletting yet.

Oi. I can't find the info on renewing my credential which expires in July 09. It's my understanding that I no longer need to submit professional development hours. But I can't find the name of the Assembly Bill that says that.

Why yes. I am procrastinating.

But I had a potato ball from Porto's for breakfast. Nom nom nom.

My poor new coworker accidentally sent me a personal email meant for someone else (clearly, it was in another language.) I let him know, but I KNOW it will embarrass him.

Ah, the dangers of autofill...

There's a 90201 zip code in Jerusalem. Few friends came up with the thought to start shooting there.

Is it bad that I read this and thought like, bullets shooting? And wondered what that would accomplish?

Unless you go to a venue with fixed seating or go to a show featuring a less popular artist, that's the way it is here, too. It can be somewhat claustrophobic and unpleasantly intimate.

Or you could go to Portland. Where the MC says "you know, the people in the back can't really see. How about everyone in front sits down on the floor?" and they DO. I was so dismayed and disgusted.

well, at least he can be comforted that you couldn't read it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Personally, the above whitefonted stuff doesn't squick me at all, but I whitefonted just to be safe....

I can live with that I think, but this [link] freaks my shit out.

My GA advice is useless, the three times I've done it I got barricade and just hung on when the shoving started. Each time, though, I told small women behind me that if they felt like they were getting knocked over they could grab onto me. They did it more than occasionally.

Hey all,

Sorry I lost my pirated wireless last night. So, there's already another Victor here, hmmm... If I actually have to change my name, any suggestions? I usually am castvic on most sites,but it seemed like most people were using what I assume is their real first name. In any case, I feel for the missent email. That has happened to me on more than one occasion. You'd think I'd learn to read more than the first three letters of someones name.

ETA Also I can't escape the Ashlee Simpsom/Pete Wentz wedding news-- it was the next story on the George Takei link. I have heard there is kerfuffling about the marriage on the internets with the fans, and I am trying to avoid it like a big avoidy thing.

Oh lord yes.

The thing about it that annoys me most is "IS SHE PREGNANT?!?!?" What is this, 1955? We need to know if they had to get married? And, duh, MOST people don't talk about it for at least 12 weeks. And when people don't talk about it for longer than that there is generally a darn good reason. (Like Jennifer Lopez, she had at least a few miscarriages and the perpetual "bump watch" was the last thing she needed. Lord.)

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

but it seemed like most people were using what I assume is their real first name.

I wish!

Unfortunately, I don't think Aims would take too kindly to having to introduce me to co-workers. "And this is my husband, Miracleman. He's an idiot."
