You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

No quizzes for me. I just finished about 1/2 the paperwork I needed to get done tonight. Tomorrow should be interesting.

I also hope for no more fainting.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Sigh: Today is our in-house Continuing Legal Education program. So I get to spend much of the day listening to people I see every day talk about things that I either know more about than they do, or have absolutely no connection with. And it isn't like I need the CLE credits -- under my bar's rules, I'm exempt from the requirements because I practice out of state.

At least I can skip out of some of the presentations....

Poking head to post now (since I won't have any computer access this weekend) that, according to the Buffista Calendar, Saturday, the 5th, will be CaBil's birthday, and to send him early wishes.

Have a nice rest-of-the-week and a great weekend, everybody!

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

I got one wrong on the English test. I'm kinda pissed. It was a trick question!

I feel clearheaded so far this morning. Wish me luck.

Six of twelve on Dickens, which isn't bad considering I don't think I've ever read any. Not in twenty-some years, anyway.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I got one wrong on the English test. I'm kinda pissed. It was a trick question!

Which question? Food for thought?

20/20 here. What was the trick question?

It wasn't really a trick question. I just thought that long lost (or long-lost) brothers deserved exclamation points even more than they deserve hyphens.

I was probably lucky with the spelling questions -- my spelling is pretty bad right now, and will continue to be for about a week. But they didn't have *my* particular misspellings of the words they offered up, so I was golden.

The math one was fun when I worked out how they wanted me to estimate things. And annoying when I didn't work out in time how they wanted me to.

More on avian flu:

1) A lot of the money is being spent on National Guard for quarantine. And he is giving authority go homeland security -useless and dangerous. 2)So far manadory licensing of Tanaflu does not seem to be happening. My feeling is have the feds give anyone able to produce it a license to do so, assume the liability for the copyright violation, and let the manufacturer sue the feds while the stockpile gets created. 3) On the optimistic side - a lot of deaths from flu are due to secondary infection. We have antibiotics, oxygen tanks and glucose drips to today - not available in 1918. So maybe death toll won't be as high when it happens.
