Aw, that's sweet.

GC, hooray for impending babyness!

I don't remember a damn thing about my c-section, but the ketamine is probably to blame for that. (It was emergency, not scheduled, so instead of waiting for the local anesthetic to kick in they just doped me up on Special K. All I remember is the anesthesiologist saying "You might feel a little weird" and then leaving my body and waking up in the recovery room. I still to this day cannot believe people do that shit recreationally.)

Go, Hil.

yay for Shane. ( and I believe everyone when they say you can do this GC)

and I am guessing that my cat is hyperthyroid, but I won't know for a few days

I still to this day cannot believe people do that shit recreationally.

Heh. I still feel that way about steroids. My lungs were wonky and I needed a five-day course. I spent one day Starving, one day Burning, one day Crazy, one day Horny, and one day Sobbing. I cannot imagine taking them for anything short of "continuing to breathe air ".

Steroids make me loose my distance vision, of course that is a function of diabetes and steroids... but still.

I lost track of how many job applications I sent out. I think I'm somewhere around 135. And, so far, two interviews.

I just read something about a blind woman who was not allowed on a Quantas flight because they refused to allow her guide dog on board. (This was in Australia, so not subject to American laws.)

No, but Qantas is subject to Australian law, and I believe it's being investigated as a possible breach of the Disabilities Act. It's certainly generated bad publicity for them, and they know it. It is also contrary to Qantas' policy, so the ground staff stuffed up, but obviously Qantas bears responsibility for its employees. (She was originally booked on another airline, Tiger, and they simply cancelled her return ticket after flying her to Adelaide. She has some real cause for complaint, against more than one airline, and this isn't an isolated incident.

I'm watching the beginning of that Chanukah basketball movie now. It's totally ridiculous. Oh, and in addition the Chanukah, the lesson of this movie is that Jewish kids are really good at academics but need a black man and a miracle to make them good a sports.

I kind of want to see that movie.

On tonight's Daily Show John Oliver was ragging on Jon Stewart about the lack of a JewNog for Hannukuh.

One of the Jewish kids made some sarcastic comment like, "Sure, a bunch of Jewish kids are going to win the tournament." The coach tells him not to put himself in a box like that.

Oh, and now we've got the obligatory scene about how Jewish food is all weird and icky.

And, even though it's set in Philadelphia, they are making no attempt whatsoever to disguise the fact that it's filmed in Toronto. They're playing basketball on a playground with a gorgeous view of the lake.
