Mal ,'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
A quick meara before I go grade:
Ugh, Dana, I'm sorry. That sucks.
There was a quake in the Bay Area? Zoinks! I better go check on some folks.
Gud, she's adorable. And Jesse's right, in the photo she reminds me of Abigail Breslin. Franny has freckles on her nose and I think they are delicious, although they have prompted me to start making her wear hats on sunny days as clearly the 50+ sunblock isn't enough.
bon bon, I keep meaning to say... Immanuel Kat is the best cat name ever.
Today's anniversary of the pencil eraser
On today's date, 1858, Hymen Lipman was granted a patent for attaching a piece of rubber to the end of a pencil. While it was certainly a stroke of genius, the courts didn't think it to be as groundbreaking as one might think. From Smithsonian:
Unfortunately for Lipman, the patent would later be revoked, when the U.S. Supreme Court rules in 1875 that a pencil with an eraser is just a pencil with an eraser and not a new invention.
Bummer. But in honor of this auspicious date, I think I'll erase something with the eraser on my pencil.
Someone from Half Moon Bay twittered an estimate of 5.0.
Sorry, Dana!
We put Owen on the bus and Olivia is doing a sticker book. I'm contemplating tidying up some more--crumbs need swept, counters washed and beds made. Don't know why I'm lacking energy today.

I'm guessing 5.2
Which I pulled from my ass....
Aims--I have. It's ouchy but nothing a little ibuprofen can't handle. I found it less painful than a mammogram (or a bikini wax, for that matter).
Thanks. My mom seems to think that since it's in my neck, they'll sedate me. Any truth to that? Should I plan on going back to work after or plan on staying home?
Shit, Dana, that sucks. I'm so sorry.
Oooh, SF quake! Since moving somewhere where a quake COULD happen, I have become oddly paranoid about it. But only when I am going to sleep at night. I have no idea why.
The website I checked says 4.6.
Aimee, why don't you ask the doctor? I find they usually include that kind of info in the instructions they send me before a procedure, so the nurse should be able to tell you.
egad. I need more coffee. It's like a drug.... oh wait... duh!
msbelle, lisah, insent
Dana, that sucks!
Ouch, Dana! That totally sucks. A fie upon them!
People in the earthquake area, you're ok, right?
