I really hate these applications where you have to cut and paste all the stuff from your resume into it, and it loses all your formatting. Argh.
I happen to be very biteable, pal. I'm moist and delicious.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I guess I shouldn't complain about the rapid temperature drop here, since it's dry and most of the snow we got washed away with the rain. Still don't like it....

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh, god, it's going down to 5 degrees F tonight. And it's quite windy; I had to run out and rescue my trash bin from flapping its contents all over the drive.
Gonna turn up the heat in advance. Maybe the house won't get too cold. Heat pumps are not the most efficient method of heating.

UGH. Stupid post office. So, they sell either random boxes made by a random company, or "flat rate" USPS boxes. I though those came with tear off sticky strips like, say, most UPS boxes, but no. And when I got to the front of the line (because of course there was a long line) they said they didn't provide tape for their own boxes (I knew they didn't for the random other boxes, but not for their own flat rate ones??) and I could buy some for $3.50. Fuck that noise--I scribbled out the address I'd already written on the box and walked out. I"ll go to UPS--even if it's more than the $16 (!!) USPS wanted, it'll still be easier and probably a lot less of a wait in line.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Well, by the time you get here, we should be back at normal winter temperatures for the region...
I'll take it

I just spent several minutes trying to figure out why buffistas.COM wouldn't let me in. Clearly, it's been too long even with intermittent lurking. Catching up slowly. Very slowly, I guess.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I am boneless! Bone-free! Deboned!
I was convinced it had become infected and I would need antibiotics before they could do anything with it, but it was actually so painful because the bit of bone had broken loose, so it was poking its pointy end into an open wound.
The oral surgeon said "I bet I can get that out with topical anesthetic and tweezers", and they brushed the site a few times with a q-tip and the anesthetic, and just brushing the q-tip across pulled the bone out.
Now I just have a little wound in my mouth which should heal quickly. I'm relieved.

That's awesome, Dana! Or, if not awesome, at least the best possible outcome of an un-awesome situation. Yay!

Happy Deboning!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Help!
There's this old friend of mine--we grew apart in high school after I got a girlfriend and sort of blew him off. I haven't talked to him since, except we've gotten in touch recently on FB.
He's sounding like he'd like to rekindle the friendship, but I'm not sure if I want to after I saw him post something in support of that Duck Dynasty guy.
So now he' s noticed a boy on my flickr page that looks like me and he's asking if he's my son. (It's Max, so he's right.)
This should be fun...
edit: OK, waiting for sound of a head exploding, somewhere in NC, I think.
