ION, please, people, tell me to stay away from the SF Chronicle's articles on the battle over putting a suicide barrier up on the Golden Gate Bridge. The overwhelming preponderance of letters and comments saying, "It's a frivolous waste of money, we should just let 'em jump rather than impede the view (especially since they'll just fall into the water, unlike building jumpers who may land on innocent people down on the sidewalk), and anyone who asks me to read an article or study analyzing suicide facts vs. myths is a liberal elitist" is making me both ill and stabby.
Stay away. I've had to stay FAR FAR away from the ones about the Aurora Bridge, esp. as a friend lost her son to the thing (with the Aurora Bridge, a lot of jumpers also hit buildings and people).
I read an article yesterday arguing that newspaper's websites should not have a comment feature, and I think I agree with that position.
Lord nothing gets me more irritated more quickly than comments on Sun articles online.

I KNOW I agree with that position.
Vortex, I hope your dad's surgery goes easily and smoothly.
If anyone asks you about me, lie ;)
Okay! I think they're concentrating on filling the Registrar's position first, so it may seem like they're being slow, but really they're just panicking at the thought of drop/add without a Registrar. Also, we get students on Aug 11th, which is far too early.

Ways in which fic has added something to my life:
I was able to answer, with absolute certainty, who Nixon's Secretary of State was in my history class last night.
Thanks, Plei.
I hope your dad has a swift and relatively painless recovery, Vortex.
This kind of things seems to be going around. Bicyclops, who doesn't get here very often these days, is in surgery today to repair his knee. There was an unfortunate combination of new rider, Vespa and mailbox that led to his leg being broken in five places.
I am particularly susceptible to the klutz virus. I'm thinking of getting out the bubble wrap.
In other news, Cheez-its are apparently dog crack.

True fact. As are hotdogs, but everyone knew that.

Oh my. Cautionary tale. Please pass along speedy recovery wishes.

Hey, does that count as me getting a toaster?
