I love this series of tweets:
(However, I hope never to be writing a series like that myself!)
Monty: Whaddya mean she ain't my wife? Mal: She ain't your wife... cause she's married to me.

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

Sophia, Celexa isn't as bad as Paxil for screwing you up if you suddenly change dosage, but it certainly gives me some tsuris for missed pills.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
ita, have you tried botox for migraines? I seem to remember you have, but I'm not sure so I'm posting this:

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just turned on the tv and a Scooby Doo movie was on, because I had taped Venture Brothers last night. James Hong was definitely reprising a version of his role from Big Trouble in Little China. Kids these days!

FWIW, tommy, I think at this point it's easier for ita to list the migraine treatments she hasn't used.
I recently finished reading Melanie Thernstrom's The Pain Chronicles which delves into the conundrum of chronic pain and why it resists modern medicine so well.
She describes ketamine procedures, which basically puts you into a coma for several days. The idea is, sort of like ECT, it interupts/resets the pain circuits. It's a dangerous procedure, and it's not been proved to be effective for many, to boot.
There's some intriguing work being done with fMRI, that lets pain patients watch a scan of their own brain and concentrate on raising/lowering pain at will, which the researchers theorize trains the brain into rerouting inappropriate pain circuits.
It's not a self-help book, but one that deals with the history and theory and applied science of pain -- I highly recommend it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yes. Just be thankful you don't have my boss, who told more than one colleague that I threatened to leave if I didn't get promoted or a raise (not exactly what I said) and then told me that I wasn't being professionally savvy.
Hahaha! Why so fucking crazy, bosses???

I think there is something that makes bosses crazy, when they get to be bosses.
The designer who is working on the next show is driving up today, for one night only, and no one told me until just now. When I sent him an email asking him when he was coming up.

Uh oh! I totally was invited to Boss Day brunch last Friday! Which was hilarious to me. But, free breakfast! I should check in with my people to see how my level of craziness has changed since I got put in charge of them.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I feel so much better after showering. Should have done that sooner.
