I had a two-hour meeting yesterday, but it was the good sort where I was able to contribute ideas. I think I do okay in meetings. I'm a very socially awkward person, but I'm really bad at respecting authority (maybe that's an Asperger's thing?) so I feel free to say things.

I am full of coffee! No Egg McMuffin, though. And it looked like blood, not Velveeta, in the collection tube, so I feel like that's a good start.

That's always good, Velveeta isn't very good at carrying oxygen.

For some reason, while listening to Al Franken's Giant of the Senate, I thought of Harry Potter and realized that the seventh book is basically an allegory of a political campaign. Harry is obviously the candidate. He's the talented, public-facing sort of person you want as a candidate. Hermione is the definitive campaign manager. She manages all the details, stays well away from the limelight, and the candidate would be lost and helpless without her. Ron is the friend who provides emotional support during the rigors of the campaign. Genny is.... she's the mistress who the candidate wants to lie low until the election is over. Luna is the crazy-ass idealist who helps you with the base and reminds you of your own idealism that got you into politics to start with. And so on...

That's always good, Velveeta isn't very good at carrying oxygen.

My Dad's family is trying super hard to disprove that, though. (Not successfully, I might add.)

And now I'm going to check the online MyChart dealie all day to see if my results are back. There are 3-year-old kids who are better at waiting for stuff than I am. Sheesh. (Results not back yet.) (Yup, I already looked.)

I'm barely into season 3, Consuela, and at this point I'm leery of getting attached to anyone as terrible things keep happening to my favorites.

I am not full of coffee and unable to respond effectively to the posts since then. Sorry about that, just had to get my two cents in on the zombies.

It would be hard to overstate how much I want to crawl back into bed right now. But I will not.

Why no egg mcmuffin Steph? You deserve it. And I am too lazy to go get one so I deserve one vicariously. (Also I don't actually know where the nearest McDonald's is anymore since they tore down the one near me)

I would have had to go way out of my way, and I just wanted to get home. Plus I really couldn't eat the english muffin part anyway.

I love egg mcmuffins with sausage, but am amazed by how much less tasty an alternate is if you swap out any one of the ingredients.
