And since I'm on contract, I should get this taken care of now, huh?
Yes, yes! Go, go!
My mother's recent diagnosis -- thanks entirely to a mammogram -- has made me an advocate.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I will be good and schedule these things for the new year. I'll even get off my duff and find a PCP. Oy.
Why does Target have an NCIS:LA forced bromance ad? Whuhuh? When did bromance become so trendy?

Bromance is way trendy. There was even a movie about it this past summer, with Jason Segal and that other guy. Y'know, that one from...um....Clueless!
My mom got diagnosed on her first mammogram at 41. (Note: she is now 63 and perfectly fine!) SO GO!

There seems to be a lot of "Oh, it's that guy" on The Good Wife tonight, only I am not actually able to place those guys. All the lawyers whose names I'm not catching look really familiar.

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
I've become fond of vodka on those rare occasions when Dallas middles my bed.
As I leave for work I always look at the bottle of cheap vodka next to the bare mattress (soaked in cheap vodka) and the bed linens angrily yanked off the bed and wonder what the cops would think if I ended up murdered that day.
Hopefully one of you would help clear that up.
Dallas is a rescue. I found her all four pounds of her in a busy parking lot covered with ant bites. She was far enough from habitation that I assume she was dumped. She'll be 16 in April.
She ran over for a scritch when I called her upon reading the stories. She left in a huff when I did not give her any of my dinner.

What's this about me not being a hugger? I hug. Just on my terms.
Oh my! Noah got the most amazing set of tree blocks from my former student who occasionally babysits for him. Glamcookie, when you are ready for a sitter, I have one for you. I mean, yeah, sure have the kids first and all. But when you are ready!

If I ever need a handle for an LJ sock-puppet, I think I'll go with that.
I kind of like hugging people I know and like, but I'm total crap at reading people, so I don't really know when they want to be hugged. So I generally let them initiate it or not.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Wallybee and I rewatched the West Wing tonight, the last ep of Season 1. It includes the following exchange:
Leo: What are you doing?!
Josh: I... thought you wanted to hug me.
Leo: Boy, did you read that wrong.

Theo's interview went well -- it turns out Tom W.'s direct report is the manager (!!!), so I'm hopeful of a home court advantage, but there are still a number of other interviews scheduled, et cetera... so I'll hold onto some of that job-ma for now!
