'Lies My Parents Told Me'
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 finally took down my xmas tree. What?! It always makes me smile.
Anyway, who ever thought painting the trim in the house dusty army green was a good idea? (Basement door sticks, has rubbed off layers of paint) Oh, probably the same person who painted the bathroom a bilious turquoise at some point in the past few coats of paint (with seafoam and lilac tile. Seriously. )
It's bizarre.

My Christmas lights are on in my windows right now. They hadn't been since New Years, but the current snowpacalypse made want to turn them on.

People are crazy. My first NYC apartment, the smallest studio ever, had each wall a different color. The fact that they didn't paint over it before I moved in should have told me something (what it should have told me, actually, was that the owner was out of the country and wouldn't have actually approved me moving in. Oops.).
I think I'm about to go to bed, earlier than I have in weeks. Sleeepyyyy.
I hate those fucking Campbell's soup ads. Seriously! 60 fucking calories?
60 calories isn't even a snack. 60 calories is an appetizer on a plate of appetizers.
Is there any reason not to get the H1N1 vaccine?
Does being too busy with work to walk down the one flight of stairs between you and the free vaccine count?
When I ended up with Loki, I had no idea I'd end up with such a lovey cat. Now MK was lovey too, but he's old and prefers to sleep on my bed 95% if the time now. And Devi is my first love, but she's a proximity cat, one you earn her attentions. Loki? He wants to be pet, to cuddle, to chew my hair. It's nice to have all 3.

Now that there's an ample supply, doctors are recommending as many people as possible get it so we can build up herd immunity before the anticipated third wave next fall. (Since this is a pandemic and not a seasonal flu, doctors will continue to vaccinate year round until we wipe it out. Fortunately it's been very stable so far - no scary mutations that would make the vaccine obsolete.)

Okay, I changed my mind. I'll get the vaccine. I was holding off because of the restricted supply, and me not ever having gotten the flu. But I wonder how many other people would be convinced by the phrase "build up herd immunity"?
