this exhibit at the National Academy of Sciences looks AWESOME.

Although here [link] it appears syphilis is caused by the Wicked Witch of the West.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I have to go to Trader Joe's at lunch (well, "lunch" -- we can take our lunch hour however we choose, and basically whenever we choose), and so the question is: do I buy champagne now? Or is that a jinx? I could wait until 8:00 or so, when the results are surely going to be obvious, and then run out to the store, but -- I don't want to run out to the store when I could be watching the returns obsessively.
Now, I think. Call it a calculated risk.

You could just buy champagne now to celebrate some non-specific occasion in the future. That should fool any jinx.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Tep, buy the champagne now. You can either drink it to celebrate or to drown your sorrows as appropriate.

Ooh, good question Steph.

See also, why I took off work tomorrow. No matter what happens, I don't expect to be in any condition to go in to the office.
Though now I do have to take the dog in to get her Frankenstein staples removed at 10.

I don't think my foot is broken! I mean, I haven't done anything that would break bones! It just, uh... hurts to put my weight on it?
Is the pain localized (i.e. toe(s), heel, ankle, etc.)? I ask as someone currently suffering because of a bunion.

I vote PBS.

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
I'll be clicking between BBC America, Stewart/Colbert, PBS and my sweet sweet Brian Williams.
