And way to go, Amy!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
That is a pretty amusing W vid. I like hearing him talk about A Charge to Keep with no idea what the painting is really about.
edit: that's not even the painting's title. More info here.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, man, Laga, that's just exactly the kind of obscure art history/old pop culture stuff I love (and, man, I have such a weakness for the old, old, old-school Harper's with its thrilling, lavishly and cheesily illustrated serials of rugged pioneers and romance amongst the trout fisheries--the actual title of that painting just fills me with glee). Thank you so, so much for that link! Seriously, it made my night!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Before I disappear again to make dinner, congratulations Amy! Excellent news!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I love the internet -- someone suggested a magic eraser for removing the haze from my tile. It works better than anything else. Now I have to go get a bunch

Congratulations, Amy!
Happy Birthday, Jilli! May the coming year be full of swirly bats and all things cupcake pink, and may the Haunted Mansion finally recognize you as the true 'mistress of the manor' and let you move in.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, this is freaky. I've been sitting down for a while, feel perfectly calm and relaxed, and my blood pressure is 140/104 and my heart rate is 100.
It was perhaps a bad idea for my mom to get me this blood pressure monitor. I'm getting a bit obsessive here.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Hil, how often does your doctor think you should monitor your blood pressure? At the group homes, there are a couple of residents we monitor regularly - one of them gets it done twice a week, and once a week for the other. Do bear in mind that you need to be sitting still for at least five minutes to get a good reading, even standing up to walk to the other side of the room to get the bp cuff is too much activity.
