All I know about Olympia is that the Washington State Supreme Court building is called the Temple of Justice.

Oly looked weirdly boutiquey last time we were through the downtown.

I lived there off and on from 1992-1998. It's a weird mix of college town and government town, plus you're close enough to rural WA that you go outside of the Oly/Lacey/Tumwater trio and you start hitting redneckonia pretty hard.

Sounds like where I live now, only with salt water access.

That makes my inner pagan happy.

hip deep in pie

The play versions of Wolf Hall/Bringing up the Bodies, with Ben Miles as Cromwell, have extended their London run and will be playing when I am there in September. So I booked tickets. Whee. I am a little trepidatious. That's a lot of money on a lot of theatre...I hope I actually like it!

I got myself so wound up about booking tickets/hotels I have given myself a headache. Apparently I am six.

Well, I can't believe I'm saying it but the weekend sucked. Ok, activities and such were fine but the face pain was back with a vengence. This morning, I haven't had it fully spasm, but there have been a couple of medium sized episodes.

I'm supposed to be in SLC Wednesday and Thursday for meetings that I lead. I had hoped the Lyrica would have kicked in more by now. If I have a full spasm, mid-meetings, I'll basically have to excuse myself from the room. I don't want to cancel the trip and yet I'm wondering if I should.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I didn't get the impression that the Brontosaurus thing was color coded.

I think if you asked a black guy to lean 1cm more into the space of someone non-white he wanted something to, he'd tell you it wasn't worth it and would not gain him anything.

I've been KBed by guys, say, between 13-28 and it was horrible. Fight, flight, or give in, At work it would probably cause me to give in then, but be stubborn elsewhere.

There were two guys at my last job I KBed. One because I felt so bad asking him stuff, since he was three positions away from it anyway. He took it well, but his problem was that he seemed to take everything well, so I at least wanted to ease into it.

The other guy did eventually give me what I wanted every time (even the time I played Stompy Away Brontosaurus in frustration), but he also kept asking me to go for beer.

So no, not going to be a standard part of my repertoire.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sue, that's exciting. Have fun in London.

{{{Suzi}}} I'm sorry you've been in so much pain. I hope you get some relief soon.

Anyone ever had a ruptured eardrum?

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ginger, what have you done?

Suzi, I'm so sorry about the pain. I hope you get some real resolution, fast.

sara, I hope the cold gets better fast.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have had a ruptured eardrum- Ginger.

I am so sorry about the pain, Suzi.

If feel like kindly brontosauri would make me get them what they want as slow as possible. I think I have KBd customers however, when they were trying to scam me.

I left my anti-depressants at work over the weekend and I am still recovering. If there was a zombie apocalypse and I ran out, I think I would be dead, because the withdrawal is horrible to me. I was/am out of commission for 2 days after not having it for 2 days. That is the first day is OK, but the day (today) I start taking them again, it takes awhile to build back up in my blood stream and I am still nauseous, have a headache, tired, anxious, dizzy, have brain zaps, and basically feel like I have had a stroke.
