smonster, I highly recommend laying in a supply of Panacur. It works a treat and is safe for most dogs. I have given it to Bartleby twice this year.

I'm betting that you aren't at risk from cross-exposure, but getting advice is a good idea. Given how hard it is to isolate parasites, I'm not sure what kind of test they'd need.

Please pass along any any info you get about human parasiticals, would you? I have no info on this at all.

Root for The Netherlands, because that's where my brother lives and is in the process of getting citizenship! My brother the Dutch dude!

I told my boss I was going to be very tired today because I didn't get home until 2 last night. It was the Olympians Meet and Greet at Martuni's, and when you get a bunch of actors anywhere near karaoke, it's on. I deliberately took BART to force myself to go home early, but instead I got a ride (from someone who also said he was supposed to leave at 11:30). Which meant I was able to sing "You Oughta Know," which was the only available song I really knew and loved. It was a lot of fun, and I got many high-fives afterward. One girl said I was awesome and got the whole place singing with me. I said that was really Alanis's doing, but she said I also gave a good performance. A lovely Irish girl said I was the "legend of the whole night."

In any case, this reminded my boss to show us a video of her singing "Brick House" in Orlando.

I really love working here.

I'm really hungry, but I'm too sleepy to know what to make for lunch. I was wakened from my morning nap by what felt like a bee sting. The welt on my arm is small, like a pimple, but touching produces the kind of sharp pain that raises their hair on your neck and gives goose bumps. I did not see the critter that is responsible.

So, liberal application of diphenhydramine both internally and externally.

ETA: Lest anyone be terribly moved with pity for me, I should add that half an hour later, with time for the Benedryl to work, it no longer hurts, at all.

ETA2: Still, Benedryl plus not quite enough sleep equals too gronkified to plan a simple meal. Did I mention that I'm hungry?

P-C, I don't suppose there's any video footage of you Alanis-ing it up, is there?

Whenever Jilli shows up, or whoever wants to see it. My ouija board necklace Jon got from a friend of ours. [link]

There may be pictures! No video that I know of.

(The DJ was skeptical of my song choice. He was like, "Really?" I said, "I'm an actor! And tonight I will be playing the part of Alanis Morissette." He announced that I would be getting in touch with my inner 21-year-old angry woman.)

"I'm an actor! And tonight I will be playing the part of Alanis Morissette."

You are made of awesome, my friend. VSOP awesome.

Very Snakes on a Plane Awesome?

Something I've wondered - if you reversed the genders of "You Oughta Know," would it still work the same? Or is the song essentially a female complaint?
