I've been buried in the Feed books by Mira Grant this week (thanks, Sunil!) so my first reaction was total horror.
Actually, one of my friends on FB commented that this is how zombies start.
Clinically depressed people have a hard time telling the difference between negative emotions such as anger, guilt, and embarrassment, a new study shows.
I can tell them apart when they're super magnified. Like, turned up to 10. But otherwise...yeah. They kind of blur for me, too.
I LOVE MAKING FIENDS! The pet is a giant, mutated hamster.
Just so you know, this is something JZ frequently commented on during the year.
Awwww. That's so sweet :)
From the lioness article:
Such masculine females likely occur when the embryo is disrupted, either at conception or while in the womb, he said by email.
For a second, I wondered just how embryos are disrupted by email and was very impressed with the interuterine web connections of lions.
Hee.
ION, I can no longer stand in long lines without pain: just got back from my free flu shot. Almost an hour in the line my back and my feet tell me that they would rather have the flu.
I must report that the mini-cupcakes of the pumpkin-gingerchip variety make an excellent breakfast along with some trader joe's pumpkin creamcheese. Oddly, they taste like apple spice cupcakes/muffins, even though there is no apple in them. But they are quite delicious.
Now if only they also magically made my headache go away...argh. Anyone have magic solutions to make me stop clenching my jaw in the night? I have a biteguard thing from the dentist, which should (if I wore it all the time) stop my teeth from falling apart, but doesn't stop the crazy muscle tension and headache in the morning...

This why all I wear anymore is these: [link] They are wicked pricey, but they last forever. AND NO MORE FOOT OR BACKACHES!!!

Apparently the only answer is crazy muscle relaxants. Which I have not pursued myself, but do wonder about.
So did you guys see the story about the bearded Sikh woman that a redditor snuck a photo of and then proceeded to post on reddit and a bunch of people mocked her? And then she was pointed to it, and she gave a lovely "the outside doesn't matter, I'm working on my insides" speech, which prompted the redditor in question to say he'd been a shithead, and reddit isn't about that, and he apologises to her and to reddit for being crappy on it and to Sikhs in general.
It's all kind of amazing...

Yeah, that was an awesome story.
