Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Ugh, I wish you were sleeping or not in pain, ita.

I have bee PTSD. I was calm, bee-blocked the cat that thought it'd be the bestest buzzy toy ever, captured it, took it outside to bee freedom. Success!

Then my sister texted me and I really need to turn the vibrate off of my phone for a bit.

That episode of Flashpoint was really intense.

Which one, ita?

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

Do you get ION? The first of the eps--the one that starts with the wedding.

I'm gonna try sleeping again too, once I make sure I have nothing at work important to do.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I honestly cannot figure out how to make Facebook read coherently. I can't seem to figure out how to filter through information, and everything goes too damn fast. Every time I try to go to the site (because that's where the people are, unfortunately), I end up navigating away with my anxiety levels through the roof.

Any hints on how to make the thing more user friendly?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm trying to decide what I want to do for my birthday this weekend. I'm still kind of sick, so not really up for visiting anywhere. There's so much traffic around here now from all the press and everything, and it'll get much worse on the weekend because of the football game, so I can't really ask anyone to come visit me. I've got a few friends around here that I could go out to dinner with, but I really don't know that many people well enough yet. (I think the only person I'd really feel comfortable asking is someone who I've known since grad school, and she recently got married and I don't know whether to invite her husband or not, since I don't really know him.)

Some little girls brought a wagon full of baked goods to sell to the reporters camped out outside Paterno's house. (I tried driving by there today, just to see what was happening, but the police had the street closed to all cars except local traffic. There's not much local traffic, since Paterno's house is the last one on a dead end street.)

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

Congrats, flea!

Yes, I saw that one last night. It was intense. It's a great show.

Congratulations, flea!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Flea, congrats! Both my grandfather and great-uncle taught there at various points in their lives. (Possibly both great-uncles, but Danny's the only one I'm certain of.)

[eta: Yup, Google says Billy taught at the College of Medicine, or at least was on staff there. My mom's family has pretty deep Cincy roots.

Also, remind me to never Google my great-uncle Billy again - this was the first hit. Yay science, but ewwwww.]
