So far as I know, HIPAA doesn't prevent you from making public your OWN medical records, just institutions and other individuals. Obama shouldn't have had to do it, but I can understand just wanting to do it and be done with it. Plus it makes more public the foolishness of anyone who called for it for years and then moves on to other niggly complaints about it.
Oh, I get it. You just don't like who did the rescuing, that's all. Wishin' I was your boyfriend what's-his-height. Oh wait, he's run off.

Somehow I think "vodka that tastes like chewing on a Christmas tree" would be hard to sell.
A DELICIOUS Christmas tree! Mmmmmmmm, gin.
We're getting some warnings of dire weather here too, but so far nothing too bad in Nashville. Apparently the town where my DH teaches (about 45 minutes south of us) took some damage last night, but I don't think there were any Actual Tornadoes. At least his office is in the interior of a "tornado-proof" building. Mine, on the other hand, is a big wall o' glass here on the second floor, but if the radar I'm constantly refreshing is correct, we shouldn't be in the path of the worst of it.

Also, Tom Scola needs this jacket. It's Scola-esque!
Meh. I tend to read Ben Sherman as preppie, rather than mod.

I hope all of you in bad weather stay safe and dry!
I know a lot of people here read jezebel, and will see this, but I think this is the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. Jersey Shore quotes in the style of an Oscar Wilde play: [link]

My area's under a tornado watch until 8pm tonight. The map on weather.com doesn't look as bad in NC as it does west of the Appalachians, though. Safety~ma to everyone in bad weather areas.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Again? Sheee-it.

We're also *still* having Apocalyptostorms, and I am SO OVER IT.

Two gift cards and some flowers purchased. I'm only out about $10 because my coworkers kicked in.
Man, I remember back in the day when I worked at a software think tank, they took the entire admin staff out to lunch at Jimmy's Pier 4 in Boston--in limousines. And we got the rest of the day off.
Ah, well. At least the admin staff knows the staff appreciate them.

Cupcake vodka.
I need this. Really, I do. I don't even really care about the flavor or "mouth feel", I just want to have a bottle of Cupcake Vodka in my liquor cabinet.
Himalayan pink salt! I have a tiny container of it, in a grind that was described as "velvet salt". It is amazing on popcorn.
I have a blazer from Ben Sherman. I had no idea who he was, but he made a women's blazer in b&w stripes with tiny pink stripes as accent, so he obviously designed it for me.
