Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Our wings are not tired.

My uncle Dave and his girlfriend and I got together Saturday night to celebrate a late Christmas. I got Dave, who is a rabid Buffy fan, that Cafe Press shirt that reads "Then Buffy Slayed Edward. The End." He smiled big and thanked me but half an hour later I asked if he knew who Edward was. He didn't. I explained and when he looked sheepish, I said it was kind of perfect that he didn't know who Edward was, since that kind of proves the whole notion of the t-shirt.

I got his girlfriend who just graduated with an MLS this t-shirt, which she loved.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sarah Palin to Join Fox News Network

Although that made me throw up in my mouth a little, it's actually a perfect place for her, because she'll never have to be bothered with any of those pesky little...what do you call them? Oh, FACTS.

Between Sarah Palin joining Fox, and Mark McGwire admitting to use steroids, I read that yesterday should be declared National "No Shit?" day.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

True.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Having Palin on Faux News is perfect because it means she won't be on the road book touring or campaigning and will therefore disappear from all the other news networks! I'll only ever have to see her in short clips on TDS/Colbert!

Why Light Makes Migraines Worse

Migraine sufferers often retreat to a dark room or pull the shades down. Any light just makes the searing pain worse. Now, scientists think they know why--thanks to some help from blind volunteers.

Coding and Sleeping

Palin and Fox, you always knew those two would get together.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks for that article, Tom.

hip deep in pie

Back at work after taking Clio to vet. She has a dislocated tail which seems to be healing on it's own. Vet wants me to keep the cats separated for 2-3 weeks to give her time to heal. That shall not be fun.

I also have some weird pain in my stomach/side/back that I can't figure out the source of, but it kept me up for many hours last night. I can barely keep my eyes open. Later today I have a dentist appt. but right now my dentist's office is without power. It's one of those pull the cover of your head and stay in bed kind of days.

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

Ugh Sue. I'm sorry you are having such a Polar Bear Day.
