I hope they can take care of the liver probs quickly and painlessly, ita.
I'm at my yearly non-profit geek conference. 11 am the first morning and already the network is swamped. Thank goodness for my phone.
And we live to fight another day.

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

A friend of mine has a T-Shirt with the slogan: "See La Canth. See La Canth Run!"
I'm off to another Fun shift of training -- I may be able to run the cashiering machine thingie if they let me. Otherwise it's remembering to put the eggs on top of the bag....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I like this one: Coelacanth #18: Pride Coelacanth
But I'm not sure what message a Pride Coelacanth would send. Different from a message of Coelacanth Pride, methinks.

So, what do we think of the New York Times' new pricing plan? $15 a month for full access; you get 20 articles free and following links from Facebook, twitter, etc. to articles is free. How soon until there is a dedicated Facebook page with links to all articles?
I'd have signed up for $5 a month. If I lived alone I'd probably cancel cable and give them $15, but as it stands I am not sure.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm glad to hear you have a diagnosis ita, but I dislike the "nothing to be done about it" part. Take care of yourself.
Love the coelacanth pics. They are such neat creatures.
Well, there's a transforming plush coelacanth, but I don't like it.
My son has one of those. He likes it. I'm not sure how well it teaches the concept of evolution, however.

Can anyone figure out what this is? I immediately knew.
If you can't figure it out, consider how I grew up....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ginger, put on your reassuring hat and tell me how unlikely this scenario is:

More remarkably, Tepco warned on Wednesday: "The possibility of re-criticality is not zero".
This meant that in the company's view, it was possible that enough fissile uranium was present in the cooling pond in enough density to form a critical mass.
In other words, a nuclear fission chain reaction could start in a pond that lies outside parts of the building designed to contain radioactive materials.
