Does anyone know if Livejournal has gone belly up?
Now, this would be the perfect time for a swear word.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't even think she's pretty. But I trust his electric genes will win out.

Calli, I'm so very sorry. Peace to you and yours.
Cashmere, LJ is doing maintenance, I think.
And "judgment" is how we lawyer-types spell it.
Allyson, my shelter dog benefited a great deal both from lessons and the advice my trainer was able to give me. She'll never be unflappable, but she's far more confident than she was when I got her.

Yay! It looks like I didn't have a kidney stone.
In even better news, I love being able to call and email my new doctor.

As much as the actors had a Murtaugh/Riggs thing going for this past ep (Lethal Weapon meets Clean and Sober) I want there to be one where Eliot and Hardison become Bodie and Doyle. And let the slash begin,

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
We are also getting a Whizzinator (http://www.ureasample.com/buy-drug-test-solutions/store/whizzinator.htm) so that the actor can pee on stage without peeing.
I just did a show with that issue. The director found the Whizzinator disappointing. Between that and the actor not really taking the direction he was being given with regards the the peeing, the bit was cut.

Hubby found a very interesting thing at the thrift store. It's deck of cards that is not in the same format as a traditional card deck, and it's not a tarot deck. The suits go from 1 to 7, then there are three face cards numbered 10 to 12. There are four suits just like this, so I think the missing 8 and 9 cards are intentional.
The deck was made in Spain, and the suits are daggers, clubs, glasses of wine, and coins. There's a card listing them as Oros - Navarra, Copas - Alava, Espadas - Vizcaya, and Bastos - Gulpuzcoa. The heading on this card is Barja Vasca.
The box is made of cork, and the printing on the box is Kartaetako Joku Bat. Which isn't Spanish, I don't think. Googling the phrase brought up nothing. There's a heraldic type symbol on the box and on the back of the cards, a red circle with a green X on top, and a white cross on top of it all.
Does this sound familiar at all?

My Oxford Dictionary of Card Games (What?) tells me that swords, clubs, cups, and coins are the standard suits in Spanish decks, and indicates that 7, 8, 9 can be omitted from standard decks.
It looks like there may be games using the national decks listed in here, but there is no index to find them readily. I will skim.
