Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh Aurelia! Oh that's awful.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

How has he not yet acquired a Pachinko machine?!?!? That's one slacker pack rat, my friend.

He does have an oscilloscope in the attic. That makes up for A LOT.

I actually bought Activia. I know I'll eat a yogurt every day, pills I'll forget.

Activia doesn't have as much in the way of probiotics as pill form does, but for people who don't have ongoing GI badness, Activia is probably enough. Or, well, your guts will tell you if it's not.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I forget to eat yogurt, although I used to love it and eat it all the time. Weird. I find now it does weird things with my bood sugar, and makes me unbearably hungry unless I get plain and put my own fruit in it.

I have been listening a lot to NPR's Terry Gross, and for some reason, the whole time I am listening, I am picturing Laura Roslin from BSG doing the interviews. They speak very similarly to me.

My first and only concert was the Warped Tour a few years ago to see Billy Idol. Got to listen to youngsters wondering why all the old ladies were there, saw angry wanna-be punks, got kicked in the head in the mosh pit. It turns out I'm having a life that makes the kids go "Wow!" after all.

WOW. Yeah. That really does.

The intestinal wierdness is (I hope) atypical for me. Fingers crossed.

I didn't find out about the oscilloscope until after I moved in. I told him that if I hadn't fallen in love with him before I knew about the oscilloscope, that would have done it for sure.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

She landed on her feet, so I'm fairly certain that her head and internals are okay, but her feet and ankles are probably royally screwed up. I'm hoping she doesn't have serious compression damage in her spine and other joints.

I was the first person to get to her but it took me a minute. In that time she had already removed her shoes.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yikes, you need to teach interns to break down and roll when they land on their feet, like you do for parachuting. (They said that landing from parachuting was like landing from a six foot jump but it was more like a 14 foot drop.)

She's a rock climber, so she probably fell as well as anyone would. There wasn't much room to roll. She landed in a box seat.

Besides, doesn't parachuting involve some lateral movement? That would make rolling much easier.
