Xander: I still don't get why we came here to get info about a killer snot monster. Giles: Because it's a killer snot monster from outer space. I did not say that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel like there's a dark energy joke hiding in there somewhere.
Heh.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Oh god. I just sent out a thing to many colleagues about the Alzheimer's Walk I'm doing, and now I'm scared they are going to want to talk to me about my father, and I'm just not into that. Which is why I didn't send out anything broadly last year! Ugh, am now scared.

Meta analysis shows modest but real effect of acupuncture in treating chronic pain.
Huh - that's very surprising (since no individual well-designed study has shown an effect). I'm curious what the numbers are for "real" meridian-points acupuncture vs random-needles-anywhere acupuncture. (I'm willing to believe that poking people with needles has a physiological effect, I'm really not willing to believe that it's because the needles are manipulating the flow of chi.)

I don't know how it works, but it has been mad effective for treatment of Beau's skin-related allergies. Seriously.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Today, I am a fountain pen.

My hand to God, that's exactly what I was going to post, and then I thought, "Way too dorky and obscure. Who else would even remember it, let alone get it?"
Truly, y'all are my tribe.

I wonder if the "sham acupunture" mentioned is random-needles-anywhere acupuncture, or what. If anyone has access, the full write up is here: [link]
