"You were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter, and my daddy said stay away from Juliet." I keep hearing it on the radio, and have no idea what it's supposed to mean.

I had to run a Google search on those lyrics to discover it's Taylor Swift, and therefore not worth any attempt to parse, personally.

bon, I was so excited that I was going to be on a winning team! But alas, we only won best team name.

I acquired a temporary cat, which was left inside a locked room at my house last night. Can I find it now? I will have to go on hoping that I haven't lost it for now.

Frank, my aunt found Lupus: The First Year a really really helpful book (and it's by a friend of mine, too, which is another zing in its favor -- I had a real double-take when I saw it lying on the coffee table at my aunt's). While lupus isn't "curable" it's often manageable, and your sister will find that a bunch of things that have been bothering her can be correctly mitigated, now. It IS a better diagnosis than cancer by about 1000% percent!

Theo, thanks for the recommend; I'll pass that along. I think, other than the timing vis-a-vis her job, she's actually grateful to have a name to attach all the seemingly random things that have been ailing her and a possible way to improve them.

I need to write some tests, and I don't wanna! Anyone want to help amuse me?

Juggles flaming chainsaws.

That help, Emily?

Yeah, sorry, it's all I've got.

Frankenbuddha, much ~ma for your sister. Bit of a coincidence, I was just explaining to my boss yesterday why "it's never lupus".

Still sending ~ma for ita.

Amusing? How about a spineless hedgehog?

Aw, that's sad!

I am in a better mood today... still not necessarily into working, but whatevs.

I thought about telling that to my sister, but I'm pretty sure she doesn't watch House, so it wouldn't mean anything.
