In fact, the author did a presentation based on her research(with music to accompany it) at Balticon this past May.

Awesome. TWC is part of the Organization for Transformative Works (aka "Fuck you, writing and vidding and art and filking are totally legitimate activities"), so it's cool that it's getting such a variety of articles.

I just found the Jazz doc on YouTube in 10-minute segments--I'll go through them tonight and see if I can find that woman for you.

I don't know what it was about her hairdo that stood out over all the other bobs on screen, but she looked smashing in it.

Am I terrible for mocking the couple I'm currently watching on House Hunters? They're searching on the Oregon coast and Miss Thing is all "I want sustainable, I want green, I want natural!" and yet she's sporting these enormous acrylics?

I come back to my computer after making dinner and notice all these open windows. As I'm closing them, I notice a google search has been performed on "Fisher Price." Owen has been shopping online again.

Poor noodle fell asleep in a chair. I think his fever has spiked back up.

Man, I would love to talk shit with the president.

I hope you'd at least respect off the record, right? Like, you'd only share it with us?

Anyone know what the incubation is for fifth disease/parvo? Sara's friend got sent home from school the second day (so, last Thursday) with it, and now Sara's got a fever of 100 and complaining of just not feeling well.

F. lives next door and they play together pretty much every day, so.

Absolutely! And only on deep background. "A source close to the first lady said...."

The CDC says 4-14 days, Amy. No longer contagious when the rash appears. Poor, Sara! I hope she feels better soon.

Speaking of disease, we have 13 students with suspected H1N1 in my academic department. Yay?

Thank you, Sparky! I always forget CDC, and Mayo, etc., only give symptoms, treatment, etc.

Wow, 13? Yikes.
