So I got home from work at 4:00pm, went straight to bed, and didn't get up all the way until 9:00am. You would think I would feel better after all that sleep, but not really.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
First concert I went to was Stevie Nicks, the "Rock a Little" tour. I was supposed to go see her on the "Wild Heart" tour, but the friend I was going with got grounded a few days before, and I wasn't allowed to go alone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh hey, parents and others: What's a good gift for new parents? It's their second, so I figure they don't need much in the way of baby clothes and stuff. So what would be good for the parents to get, given that I'm not local?

Oh, ita. Having to go to the ER is bad enough, without having to deal with dicks and treatment disasters. I hope today is at least a bit more comfortable.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, I remember when I saw Sting solo for the Dream of the Blue Turtles tour.
That would be the first concert I bought a ticket for myself.
I'm so sorry, ita. When you have to go to the ER, there shouldn't be any more obstructions to treatment from the people who are supposed to treat you.

Because books.
Ugh, ita. I hope it eases up today.

Ha! Hec beat me to it. Liquor and free babysitting are the best gifts I can think of. Really, anything that's about them and not the baby will be appreciated.

Yeah, that's what I was trying to come up with. I'm plotting some babysitting, but it's a pretty significant road trip. Liquor would be kind of hilarious, and fully appreciated, I'm sure!
