Man, I want a Coke. I really, really want a Coke. I have successfully eaten today: a piece of toast with butter, an apple, and a fake chicken burger. I feel like I could handle a Coke. And yet, I don't want to regret it.

Well, my family used to drink Coke to help deal with upset stomachs, Dana, so it's probably okay. Maybe if you let it go a little flat?

Kat - much recovery ~ma.

Conseuela, viving for you to get the job. Sorry, you had told us about it, but the context slipped my mind. You know how some people have a mind like a steel trap? Mine is more like a greased slide.

Reason #257 that I love Kat: the night before she goes in for surgery, she has a glass of sangria.

Kat, I assume it's out patient? But still, oy! I hope it's an easy surgery and a quick recovery.

So Yay for job posting Consuela!

My cat is being a yowler monkey.

I don't comment on Jezebel, but I commenter there indicated that a successful blogger was her middle school friend, and prank called unpopular classmates saying that she was calling from a modeling agency and had seen their photographs, and wanted them to be models. I want to guess who it is, and I think Pioneer Woman!

ETA: Yikes on the Kidney Stone going backwards! How does that happen?!?

I can't believe I have a developer who's pissed off because I asked him "Okay, that error--how often are we experiencing it?"

He has error logs, and he's saying that a) the error shouldn't be counted against the application, because there's a reason for it, and b) it's occurring often.

But he'd have to count how many times it appears in the logs.

Well, yeah? Fucking count, then. Why are you treating Notepad++, which is pretty much the least tricked out Notepad replacement I've ever used like it's a coke bottle that fell from the sky?

I will probably wait on the coke a bit, but I'm starting to feel ravenous and dream about different kinds of food. That's usually a good sign.

After only miso soup today, I went for it and got chicken strips. I think half my stomach weirdness at this point was just lack of food, also I needed protein, I could tell. So probably not the best thing to get fried stuff, but no one sells grilled chicken strips in a drive thru.

cereal - so I have Castle on TiVO. Did people like it? Trying to decide if I watch it tonight or just watch the voice.

I liked it.

Thumbs up to Castle.

Thumbs down to regressive kidney stones. easy surgery~ma, Kat!

Good luck, Consuela, I hope this time everything goes like it should!

Keeping you in my thoughts, Frank. And also Theo.
