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.

You wanna know some psychosomatic freakiness I've discovered in myself?

So, I've been getting these supposed sinus headaches. Which leech into my teeth when (in retro) I'm being anxious about dental stuff. They got really bad before I broke and made the first appointment (my teeth are rotting out my head and I'm gonna need a head transplant!!!) Then they went away shortly after that, until I got the call friday about today's appt. They then went away as soon as I sat in the chair.

I know I can manifest nerves in physical ways (back, neck, stomach.) I didn't know that I could manifest nerves in such a way to encourage action. Hopefully I'll be good until not very long before the next appt (end of the month) which is actually going to involve real pain.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I don't know if "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye" by Steam is still used at baseball games. "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" by Meatloaf uses a lot of baseball metaphors for sexual activity, so maybe not what you'd want.

I'm only familiar with "Na na na" being sung at basketball games when someone fouls out...but I don't go to a lot of baseball games.

I have two dozen red velvet cupcakes cooling, and two dozen strawberry ones are in the oven. Whee!!

Why are the M4W craigslist personals really good, and the W4W ones all sleaze and porn? WTF?

Alan Johnston was released: [link]

Alan Johnston, the BBC journalist held hostage in the Gaza Strip since March, was handed over by his Islamist captors to Hamas officials on Wednesday.

The 45-year-old Briton was taken into the care of officials from the Hamas movement, which seized full control of Gaza three weeks ago.

"He is sitting with his colleagues from the BBC office in Gaza," one witness said. "He is talking to them and he looks fine and well"

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

oooh. cupcake taunting isn't nice, meara. Though, I did just eat a red velvet cupcake myself.

DAMN it's hot outside. and inside my house.

I was holding Noah today and his doctor walked up behind me and said, "We're going to send him home today." and when I looked really startled he said, "just kidding."

But he did write up the discharge orders. yoiks.

I'll just change mine to JenQ. That'll fool 'em! Actually, the only friends I have who would be remotely interested in bothering to look me up here probably already have.

I still kind of like JenQ, though. JenQPublic!

And, yes - Alan Johnston! I was listening to BBC radio on the way home. I cried. Thanks for the link.

Now tagless for your comfort.

The main fireworks are booming downtown right now. We're watching them on tv because the kids are in bed.
