It's not everyone who can rhyme necrosis.

Plague can spread by droplet-based transmission in its pneumonic form.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You might also enjoy "Evil Laugh" and "Vampire Slayer Blues." And some of you might like "The Ghost of Lilly Kane."

(Since the song was written, genetic studies have indicated that the black death was indeed the bubonic plague, which is a bit of a shame given the effort put into that song.)

Hm, I did not know that. I'll have to ask if she still holds fast.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Plague can spread by droplet-based transmission in its pneumonic form.

I thought that's what they figured happened--it hit the lungs of enough people to spread by droplet.

I made creamed chicken over mashed potatoes for dinner and I'm in a carb coma.

It is not sensible of me to spend an hour of my afternoon pricing a trip to Thailand. Even though it would be totally awesome to spend a month climbing on the stalactites of Krabi...

Contagious-disease fans should definitely read Pox Americana, about the smallpox epidemic during the American revolution. It is both interesting and very well written.

My boss brought in homemade cookies for a really long meeting. I had two.

5 hours later, I'm still in a bad mood. I just can't do that sort of sweets anymore. I can handle a granola bar (I guess the protein in the nuts helps?) but not 2 measly cookies. Mneh.

Same.damned.kid as last Tuesday puked in the pool 3 laps from being done. They'd better kick him out of lessons for the rest of the session.

And the Baltimore Sun put its weather page behind the paywall. It was a nice, useful page. I'm not paying $100/year for a fucking weather page or science writer (and he's a gem.) They've gotten rid of most of their interesting writers/bloggers, I can follow the crime stuff on twitter, the quality is getting worse and worse, laughably so at times, and they really pissed me off by completely ignoring some pretty shitty things on various candidates in the primary. So fuck the Tribune company.

See? Bad mood.

Flea, which one? Amazon lists two (with different subtitles). Sadly neither is available in kindle it seems. Boo.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Suzi, napping is a solid choice.

Take care of yourself, ita !. Be as gentle as you can.

I came home, walked the dog, put away some clean clothes, did dishes and shined my sink, fed the animals, went to the neighborhood Night Out Against Crime and scooped gelato for a while (kids these days, no manners), came home, put away more clothes, and now I'm going to do more budgety stuff before I walk the dog and go to bed. Yay productivity!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I now have Pox Americana stuck in my head to the tune of Mambo Italiano.
