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

Omg. They've moved me back, but that's about it. I do have a senior doctor who will not make me feel self conscious, but they're still taxed and scrambling and I may never get out.

Gotta go spoil myself for the NBA game. I'd ask here, but I can't highlight the whitefont. Yahoo, here I come!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

ita, I wish I had some migraine magic.

I just found out that the minor league baseball team the Albuquerque Isotopes took their name from the baseball team on The Simpsons.

You do know about the Richland, WA, Bombers [link] (The plutonium for the Nagasaki bomb was produced at the nearby Hanford site.)

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 have an appointment for the gym tomorrow morning before work. Ugh. Early morning. Just trying to get myself to make a habit of going before work.

New hot boy at work (also, taken, but extraordinarily likeable) was asking me about books. Reads davinci code garbage, so I was thinking adventure/mystery, which isn't my thang. Any good Buffista suggestions? The closest thing I have here to adventure is Vonnegut, maybe Breakfast of Champions? I dunno. He has a long plane trip, so I thought to ask what would be decent brain candy.

Renita's doing okay for herself! No, I have idea who she's supposed to be, or why that might painaffect Jesse.

Pain's down to a warm abrasive thudding. Which is a start.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm sorry ita, what a bunk way to spend an evening.

Poor DH. He started the day sick, and he's just gotten sicker as it has progressed. I hope he's better tomorrow.

I wish I read more fiction lately. Which I guess means I'm no help, Allyson.

Right now I'm reading Omnivore's Dilemma. Such an interesting way of looking at food, and at our addlepated version of capitalism. Oo, and speaking of our addlepated version of capitalism, did anyone else see The Corporation?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Allysin: early Grisham, very early (published, not written) James Patterson, old school Ian Fleming, and old faithful John LeCarre.

Actually, toss LeCarre and replace him with Graham Greene.
