Every time I think about President-Elect Obama, I gleefully think, "Oh, my god, you guys, we elected a NERD."
And it turns out I spent all weekend worrying about work for no reason.
Mal: I call you back? Wash: No, Mal. You didn't. Zoe: I take full responsibility, cap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Re: Heroes they killed the brother AGAIN??? Can't get a break.

At krav it's the standard knuckles to knuckles then you tap bottom of fist to top of theirs and vice versa.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
And he doubled the meds that are making my appetite rage out of control. Whoops.
Celery and brocolli may be your friends if you're worried about that side effect making you over-indulge.
I am ambivalent about having recently joined Facebook. It's nice to have the updating wall thing with a slew of Buffistas, and it also happily reconnected me with The One Who Got Away this past week. But it's depressing to discover how many people I knew in HS went into conservative ministries as adults. And a number of people that I have absolutely no memory of have sent me friend requests—if we went to school together, I was completely oblivious to their existence.

Broccoli might do it. I'm eating insane amounts of cereal to satisfy my sweet tooth, but at least it's organic multi-grain oats cereal with soy milk. And I've finally finished the chocolate cake. Next CI test recipe is chocolate chip cookies, and despite having all the ingredients I'm not touching it with a six foot pole.
Ha! The Wikipedia article on dap mentions the Obamas. No mention of terrorists, but I suppose I could fix that...

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Word. I also like different people. Some hottie made small talk with me in the supermarket today and I remembered part of the reason I loved teaching krav so much--new people.
Incidentally, I haven't wanted to impinge on your schedule, but Bob would like to meet you, and I'm free almost all the time.

I have no schedule--just good days and bad days (and, lord, I want to go to the ER right now like whoa, but will not). If you're willing to come down here it's more likely I can meet up--I'd love to, but I'm stupidly fragile.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
So, I want to track down his military records. I've got his SSN, but I need his service number. I'm going to ask my sisters if they know of any documents that might have this information, but I'm also asking the Buffista Hivemind if they know of any way to find a service number back to World War II.
Ancestry.com has a bunch of records that could have that information. (If you don't want to sign up just to look up that, I've got a subscription -- you can shoot me an email with the info you know, and I can check sometime tonight to see if they've got anything.)
