I am in the throes of insane library envy

Marry him? I'll clean his bathrooms if I can spend time in that room.

I LOVE Ralph Stanley. He's like the best great uncle you're not really related to.

And on another subject - mammograms are uncomfortable and unpleasant BUT it's once a year, doesn't take long, and may save your life.

Yes. They are. I was shocked at just how unpleasant, considering I don't have much in the way of squishables, but I think that's what made it so uncomfortable.

I'm afraid I may also have to go in for a girl bits check up before my scheduled yearly-- I suspect my fibroids are acting up after a few years of lying low and behaving. If they are, I might be looking at surgery.

Color me not happy.

Mammograms are scary to me. But I have no trouble with giving blood. I would like to swap with someone who is afraid of needles! I'll do a blood draw for you if you get my mammogram!

I just slammed Orson Scott Card, taught my students the word schadenfreude, led two successfulish whole class discussions where they made sense of the Aristotle stuff WITHOUT ME and got a kid to register to vote.

I've never understood how they can get a good picture of some of the tiny ta-tas I see on some women. Mine can plop on the plate no problem, but some women barely go into three dimensions.

ha! I knew there'd be some takers!

Psychics: Stars not aligned for Palin

Joyce, whose website claims she was "born with the authentic gift of psychic ability," was one of a handful of prominent psychics Politico surveyed to get a better "sense" of how the Palin-Biden matchup might shake out. According to their occult minds, Biden has the edge and, ominously, the moon and stars are not aligned in Palin's favor.

Deanna Fitzpatrick, a Reiki Master from Biden's home state of Delaware, also got the vibes the senator would win. Her psychic instincts tell her that during the debate, Palin "should take some pauses, instead of trying to answer too quickly. I think she's going to struggle at that. I think she's going to have a tendency to grab at things too quick and she just has to take her time."

eta: But really, the entire article is very... informative.

I need to schedule my first one. I know, I know, I should not be foot-dragging slacker girl on this, I should not keep putting it off.
