Just had to share this link. [link] It is a "crystal rubber ducky hand cooler." It is $250.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
He has a reputation for being a bit of a blowhard diva publicity hound.
Hopefully I'll not be working for him directly.

Matilda is funny.
Seska - how's The Girl's family doing?
Settling in for the long haul of chemotherapy, before an assessment can be made of whether her father is eligible for surgery, which they'll decide in a couple of months. She's going to be buzzing between Tel Aviv and London for a while. I admire her strength of character - she's just getting on with it.
Shir, I don't really know what to say about your sister, but I hope she makes good choices from here on in, and that you're able to support her. Best wishes for your family's housing situation, too.

Stupid work has been keeping me busy, not keeping up in here as much as I'd like. I'm eons behind in the delurking thread! Crazy.
I tried to call dad tonight, but the phone just kept ringing, no answering machine or anything. I'm guessing the tape is full.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Oh, she could have made worse choices (unless, God forbid, something will happen to her in the extra time she chose to spend in the army). It's just a month, and since the next Academic year she'll be able to start university will start in October 2010, few months in army to save money to start life at a better point is rational choice.
I'm just angry at her for doing so because she's afraid to start her life, that's all. But it's her business, not mine.
Good luck and ~mas to The Girl and The Girl's family (you included), Seska.

He joined up a few years after school, because he didn't know what he wanted to do. Then, while in the service, took a million correspondence courses, and is one class away from a certificate in a dozen areas. And re-signed several times since we met, and I kept asking why, if every day his response to how's it going is "ya know, another day in hell". And his reason for going another term was "I dunno what I want to do when I grow up yet, so, it's a job, why not". Now he's a retired Marine. Go figure.

The delivery I was waiting for (my bath lift! I can shower every day again! People around me will be so pleased) arrived early. I wonder if I should go and try and work at the library. I'm not achieving much here. On the other hand, many more books here. I shall try another hour or so.
The minutiae* of being a researcher. It's ridiculous.
