Thank you, Todd & Tom, those hit the spot!

Amy, I tend to buy the pasta made out of vegetables whenever I see it for cheap and keep a few jars of pasta sauce on hand and cook them up with a pound of ground turkey. Makes a half-dozen or so servings, and in my house lasts a good week or so with only 2 of us eating it.

You know, I find the trailers to Valerian to be kinda cool and kinda not compelling at the same time. Not sure why. Not that I ever get a chance to watch movies anyhow.

the trailers to Valerian

I saw one tonight, and I have zero idea what the movie is about, so I'm amusing myself by imagining that it's a movie about the herbal supplement.

In A World With No Prescription Insomnia Medication, Valerian Is Humanity's Only Hope. t /Voice of God

You guys. You guys. You guys.

Shit has absolutely hit the fan at work, not relating to me. Some seriously bad stuff and I can't process it or really discuss it.

But I have learned when the credentialing agency revokes your credential, they post the reason from Ed code to why. And if you cross reference that with Megan's Law Lists you can learn some scary ass shit about people.

Holy shit, Kat! That is indeed serious business.

Kat: uh - wow. Sounds like that was some day at work.

Also: Premature Baby Hippo Fiona is ridiculously cute.

Yikes, Kat.

Also my head is killing me. Eat a dick migraine.

It seems wrong to me that migraine pain exists in the same universe as Fiona. She's such a little cutie, you'd think just looking at her would cure many ills. I'm sorry that it isn't so for you Gud.

Whoa, Kat. Serious shit.

Holy crap, Kat. That's horrifying.

So it looks like my little brother has testicular cancer. Hopefully they caught it early and he's going in for surgery this morning. The treatment success for this kind of cancer is very good if they get it before it metastasizes, so I'm pretty optimistic. But it's still scary.

OTOH, I will get to make Lance Armstrong jokes with him for the rest of his life. :D
