Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, and here's what I decided about the potential for getting busted: enough sites are mentioned in various contexts that it's not like my boss (say) would come directly here. So that's fine, too.

Art Crawl!!!

Pretty tennis today too.

Nobody got the men's semis live. (They showed the women's final live everywhere I think. At least I could swear that the scheduling announcement said 9 Eastern/6 pacific.)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

I'm in the park outside my apartment. Wireless internet rocks.

This is oddly like cooking a meal with a new recipe and watching people's expressions while they eat it. I sincerely hope no one gets the runs tomorrow

Does getting a migraine while reading the book count? But I loved the parts I read! And I admit, I kinda skimmed ahead to the ita and Nilly parts, when I looked at the page and went "gee, that's odd that the print is kinda fuzzy/doubled" and then realized it was just my brain being hateful.

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

YAY book! I have this urge to keep shouting that from the rooftops.

He may have one, but he hasn't told me. And he's the doctor my neuro was recommending I ditch. I can't fault her for meaning well, but organisation isn't their middle name.

ita, is there one doctor who is in charge of your care? I know you are seeing a neuro and a migraine specialist but is there anyone else? And who is coordinating the care between all of these specialists?

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Okay, since my copy of Vampire People is en route from B&N.com, and I therefore can't read Random Acts of PayPal right now, I just went and found it in the first Minearverse thread, and re-read it.

(1) I cried.

(2) I can't wait to read Allyson's prose wrapped around that event.

(3) Y'all? We rock.

(4) Damn, Tim really gets the shaft on his shows, doesn't he?

And, unrelated to Allyson, Tim, or Nilly --

Last year, on June 6 (6/6/06), my brother's restaurant (pimp, pimp....er, for anyone near Vermont, that is) brewed an I.P.A. called Mortal Sin to mark the date. It was 6.66% ABV and 66 IBUs. (For anyone who gives a damn about beer minutiae).

So for today (7/7/07), they brewed another I.P.A., called Rapture, to mark the date. It's (you guessed it) 7.77% ABV and 77 IBUs. Dorks. (I say that in the best possible way. But they are truly beer dorks. Although that works out nicely, since they run a brew pub.)

They also have an ale on tap called Shut the Hell Up, which I suspect the brewmaster allowed my brother to name. And the porter on tap is named Pappy's Porter, after my (and my brother's, obviously) great-granddad.

I think I would only be able to order Shut the Hell Up for other people... So I could say, "Here's a nice big glass of Shut the Hell Up!"


meara - Jul 07, 2007 8:57:35 am PDT #6879 of 10001

Do they bottle "Shut the Hell Up"?? Because I would SO LOVE to have a bottle of that in the fridge to offer people. That would ROCK.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think I would only be able to order Shut the Hell Up for other people...
I would happily buy this for some people, "Can I offer you a pint of two of Shut the Hell Up?!?"
