I dunno, Megan, I don't think even THAT could make curling interesting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Crap -- is it possible to have a migraine without an actual headache? Suddenly I'm nauseous and shaky and have that migraine eye-socket feeling, if anyone know what I mean.
And I have a meeting with the Big Boss in 15 minutes. And I don't think the sick feeling is related to the meeting.
I almost wish I would actually throw up at this point.

Jesse, it's absolutely possible to have a migraine without the headache.

I mean, maybe it's some other random nausea, but whatever it is, it's No Good. Wah.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Jesse--First, drink a big glass of water. Dehydration is very bad for migraines. Do you have any migraine meds? If not, get thee some Exedrin, or take two Naproxyn, which have been proven to help with incipient migraines.

I'm in Amych's corner WRT professional athletes. Phelps is a professional athlete, even though there isn't a professional swim organization (or maybe there is?) and he certainly has a right to support himself as an athlete.
I think this year's US Basketball team, while embarrassingly dominate, is a great example of professionals who are playing in the true nature of the sport, and not as NBA stars -- for Bryant or James to play 10 minutes or less a game is shocking and kind of cool. Ditto to see Jason Kidd show up at the volleyball events to cheer on a team. And the fact that the men's team has been showing up at the women's team's games to support them shows that this year they have gotten the spirit right.
Sigh.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Curling rocks! Except when one falls and one breaks one's arm.

It also sounds a little like low blood sugar can sometimes feel, Jesse.

Ahem! Exactly!! Not that I would have ANY knowledge of that sort of event, whatsoever.
I *TRIED* to go exercise my new and exciting right to be a voter who is represented in congress and all that jazz! Sadly, when I got to the voting location (and was madly outnumbered by people working there, and was told "OOH! You're the first person in your subdistrict today!" (it's a primary, today)), I was then looked up in the rolls, and told "Um, they sent you an absentee ballot?" Except I didn't request one, and more importantly, didn't GET one.
So I had to complete a PROVISIONAL BALLOT!! I felt all possibly disenfranchised and shenanigan-y. Oooooh. I also had my cheat-sheet from the local alternative paper.
Now I'm wondering where my absentee ballot ended up, and if someone else FILLED IT OUT FOR ME!
