Kristin, that dress is lovely! Much ~ma for your Grandmother.

I think we should refer to it as the Mansquito Channel.

Mansquito Channel it is.

The whole ADD pausing thing? Very much shows up a point my therapist once made, ages ago. She said the great thing about the ADD mind is that it sees all the possibilities - the challenge is to figure out how to narrow all those possibilities down to a more manageable number. I sometimes pause in the middle of a line of reasoning to re-examine some of the options, and that can derail my end of a conversation.

My day at work was... interesting. There was bleeding, and also screaming. Oddly, the two were totally unrelated. One of the residents sometimes does not clot properly - so a teeny tiny little scratch can result in what seems like arterial, rhythmic spurting. Luckily today's incident was not that bad. But still, I'm a little tired of say, "No, no, please leave your bandage alone." The screaming lasted for a good hour, and was essentially a temper tantrum. So I have taken an aspirin/Tylenol/caffeine cocktail.

Well, whatever it's name, I watched Warehouse 13. It has potential. I liked how half the detector things were old sound gear. The silver Clear-Com box got a very audible "bwah!!" from me.

Thanks for the good thoughts for my gram. She's still in the hospital, but it looks like she's stable. They still think she had some kind of heart incident and have done a whole new series of tests that my mom will get more information about tomorrow. She's assuring me I don't have to come home, and I'm taking her at her word. I'm nervous that things will get worse while I'm on the ship in Alaska and unable to get home quickly, but we are in LA overnight a week from Saturday, so I can cancel the second cruise week and go home then if need be. Fingers crossed that she is fine and it all becomes moot.

SO TRUE. Wow, I never thought about this before, but that is exactly what I'm constantly doing. I have to really watch it while I'm teaching, because I have had those moments when I completely lose track of where I was going because my mind has skittered down several other related paths in the meantime.

I used to pronounce it Skiffy, but now I just look at it balefully. Perhaps it should be the Channel that Shall Not Be Named.

Sy Fy can be trademarked or copyrighted or whatever's applicable, and Sci Fi cannot. It's brand control.

Also, apparently illiterately moronic.

That's actually a pretty good reason.

(Well, in that it keeps people like me employed. It was still a douche move.)

Did they keep the little ringed planet logo? 'Cause I like that.

There's a second reason for SyFy - that's how it's most-commonly-twittered.

I kid you not, and I do not make it up. However, I can no longer find the web-release from the-old-SciFi to back this up, so you can assume I'm lying.

(I'm totally not, though. I'm too lazy to continue researching it; I have better things to do, like sleep.)

I like that. It's not just a bug, it's also a feature.

I took a ton of pictures today and plan to go through them when I get a chance and hopefully upload some sets on Facebook. Dear doG it is just insanely beautiful here.

I remember the same article. I think the reason given was it was the way most commonly searched for on the internet rather than specifically Twitter, but either way it seems like a network caving to illiteracy.
