Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
And my mother is a Democratic scientist.
Who totally fails at genetics, and most science.

My family experience says that childbearing isn't any kind of guarantee against breast cancer. My thoughts go to your friend meara, I hope she's caught it early and her recovery is good.

Novocaine wore off half way through dancing tonight. And now it is painfully obvious that my temporary crown fits like crap. I have already left a message at the dentist's that I need to get in there Friday either for the permanent crown or to fix the temp. I really don't care which.
Driving home from dancing, I had a great idea to solve a work problem posed to me by my new PM. I had told him it would take me a while to come up with a workable solution and once I came home tonight, it took me 30 minutes to try out my idea. And it works!!! Yes, I was working after midnight. Silly me. But that is a problem solved!!!
I should be tired and sleepy and not here babbling to myself. And yet I'm just not there yet. Sad.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's hereditary
Can we tell your mother that? Because I could help...

Meara, I'm sorry about your friend. I hope they caught it early and that treatment goes well.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
A friend of mine, vegan for the past 20 years and a competitive runner for her age group, was diagnosed with diabetes a while back. She comforts herself that not only does she have less trouble than many newly diagnosed with it about making changes to diet and "lifestyle" but that perhaps she'd have come down with it many years earlier if not for all the "correct things" she was already habitually doing.
When I start to reflexively "blame" the afflicted for bad choices I try to remember her.

I'm pretty sure that one's just a lie. (IIRC, the myth predates the research.)
Fuck cancer.
I thought Obama's speech last night was fantastic. I'm always kind of cynical about his public speaking (it can't POSSIBLY be as good as they say it is!), and he almost always proves me wrong.

If behavior and lifestyle were true fact causes for disease and health issues, I would have more than just high cholesterol and shitty muscles, I'll tell you what.
