Gwen: Demon, OK? The whole nine—cloven feet and horns and teeth. He wasn't wearing lamé though. Lorne: Yeah, the evil ones can't pull it off. It gets camp.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Did you see the NYT magazine piece on sugar toxicity?

Was that the Robert Lustig piece? I think I did. The one I'm working on is for a JAMA journal; it's a 22-year study on the impact of sugar on health, completely separate from the weight/"empty calories"/obesity angle. It's pretty harsh on the sugar lobby.

Yikes, Sarameg. I hope no one else catches it and that your sister-in-law is feeling better soon.

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

The one I'm working on is for a JAMA journal; it's a 22-year study on the impact of sugar on health, completely separate from the weight/"empty calories"/obesity angle.

Is there any way I can read that without a subscription to JAMA?

Some articles are free on the website when they're published. I can let you know -- it should be on the website in mid-February.

I do not want to know about the death sugar. Eek. But good luck with all the work, Steph!

Lobster Mac or wine with Mercers does sound like good times!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy birthday Jesse and Theo!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Thanks, everyone! And a happy birthday to Theo and Rayne!

My day has been pretty good so far! Fancy breakfast, hanging out with some family friends, now some errands, and a show later. Nice! I'm going to have a dinner party over the weekend with some friends, to properly celebrate the big 4-0.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy Birthday Theo, Jesse, and Rayne!

I'm hanging out with my sister and niece before heading to the airport. Every time I visit it becomes clearer that moving to MI would be a good thing for me. Now I just need to combine that with employment.
