No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Dana, didn't you say something about Katrina flashbacks?

Pretty much, yeah. I'm not listening too closely to the coverage.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sophia, your boss is beyond @@. Someone is going to punch her in the neck one day. And I hope you get to see it.

I think my future giving will be targeted through Partners in Health. I like that it's run by Haitians, not foreigners, and they operate 10 hospitals that are outside the capital and not damaged by the quake. [link]

Today is payday, so I want to donate, and I keep dithering about which organization. My thinking goes, what if they need food and water more than medical care? And then I think, well gosh, I imagine DWB/MSF would feed their patients, so I'm being fairly insane.

Does anyone know anything about Wyclef Jean's organization?

I don't know what the undercooked/raw seafood link to pregnancy is, but with a couple of miscarriages, she might be being extra careful.

There's a risk of parasites in raw fish and meat, but it's also very much a regional/cultural thing. (Pregnant women in Tokyo eat sushi, pregnant women in Paris avoid raw vegetables, etc.)

Great. Now I want sushi.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh no, Matt. That sucks.

Sophia your boss is full of fail.

I gave to Partners in Health because I am parochial, and they are based in Boston.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Christopher Eccelston as John Lennon looks like Jesus.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Bah, I tried to give blood, but the needle slipped out and made my blood all bubbly and contaminated. That's never happened before. I guess this is why they always use the right arm. I was trying for something different! Stupid left arm.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Oh Matt, I'm sorry.
