"this person was sick, but she took this medication and now she's healthy and happy and plays with her pet unicorn every day!"
I will volunteer to run the "on a scale of 1-10 how much fun is your pet unicorn" survey.
Angel: Will you just shut up for once?! Illyria: What? Angel: My God, the speechifying. Has it ever occurred to you that now might not be the best time for when-we-were-muck stories?

There's a big billboard nearby that's talking about Unicorn Rodeo!, but it turned out to be a conference for software entrepeneurs. Boring.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I am having the most parallel kind of day -- I just talked to someone who reports to me about the difficult relationship she has with someone where they basically got off on the wrong foot and now my report thinks the other person thinks she doesn't know what she's doing, when I had to have my meeting with my version of that person earlier! (Although I know for sure that my version thinks I'm incompetent. But fuck her.)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Steph, well there was the story about the man in Germany who had something injected into his bone marrow (? not sure of the details and I'm too lazy to look it up) that seems to have cured his HIV. So that's good news.
I guess they love me yelling my questions at them and calling each other 50 million times a day on the phone
You know, somewhere, there's a photo of some Buffistas at a table all online communicating with each other on their computers. Just sayin'

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