And Jesus, you've got your own Icelandic saga. And further evidence in my claim of " well, there are no natural predators there, it's just that the island itself will try to kill you."
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Happy birthday, meara.
Gud, I love that you are making progress on the new board, bit by bit. You have so much on your plate, so I really appreciate the effort you put in.
I have a financial assessment at work tomorrow. I spent 5 hours wrestling with a $9.02 discrepancy. I wish alcohol weren't so carby.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thanks for the support, y'all.
You knew it wasn't right. It's good you didn't go any longer.
I did, and I really should have gone sooner, but... depression, etc.
Dammit, volcano gods, that is a dirty trick.
I may have to go back to Iceland to apologize for whatever I did and pour out a libation.
I feel like I need to send this to our guide & thank him again for all the literal props & handholding he provided my parents.
Ha, for real. Not sure a guide could've stopped me going down that crater though!
And Jesus, you've got your own Icelandic saga.
I do! Maybe I'll change my last name to Marysdottir.
And further evidence in my claim of " well, there are no natural predators there, it's just that the island itself will try to kill you."
THAT is 100% true. (It's still mad about the Vikings cutting down all the trees. Completely understandable.)
I wish alcohol weren't so carby.
I have this thought almost every night.

Part of Icelandic health care: "Part G, sub-section R--Basic transportation will be provided to the insured to travel to the location of the injury in order to make proper sacrifice to the spirits/demons/trolls/etc of the region in apology for whatever offense instigated said injury. Insured will determine and provide the substance of the proper sacrifice. Blood sacrifice is not covered."
edit: though, strictly speaking, Iceland owes you weregild, because it injured you, even with provocation.

I will be happy to accompany you to propitiate the volcano gods, Zen. Should you want company.

Hmm. The trolls may disagree.
But if "weregild" means "man who turns into money at the full moon" I'm totally in.
(I know it doesn't, but I can pretend!)
-t, for sure I'm not going there alone! I need a bodyguard.

I don't know how effectively I can guard against trolls, but I'll try!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Zen, oy. I hope the surgery puts it as right as it can be. Bone~ma galore.

I'm rather miffed that cartilage apparently doesn't regenerate. Because it doesn't have a blood supply. This is not good design, Evolution.

Yikes, Zen! I hope good things for you.
Also, I see that Trump is canceling raises for federal employees citing that it would be inappropriate with the current deficit. What a dick move.
It is, but apparently Congress can overrule him, which they did last year. So I'm hoping for that. The 1.9% will be nice, but the 25% increase in locality pay will be great, if we can get it...
I just had a nice visit with a friend who went to Vividcon, and we watched Dana's vid on the big tv, and it was lovely!
