I had something to say, but it is all still swallowed in floppy whoo hockey morning thoughts.
 
I dreamt I was teaching (well, lecturing a couple) just as I was waking up. If I worked when I was sleeping it means I don`t have to now that I`m awake, right?

The curse of the West Coast time zone. Popped in after Amy. But that's okay-- I have a lot of kitchen stuff. Although... ::whimpers::

I know they'll go to a good home.

I am three hours from Amy and she beat me to it!

After she died (maybe a bit before too) he found out that she was involved with a couple of online communities where she'd spun really elaborate lies about her life. And she did in real life too (like she'd had a child who died, as a small example). It was really pretty sad.

It feels especially...awkward? that she actually died. I mean, I feel like usually the dying is part of the lie with these crazy internet stories.

And then goes and weeps in the gutter after being beaten by freakin' Finland.

Speaking of Finland, John Hodgman was hysterical on The Daily Show last night.

Treo, British Labrador, Wins Dickin Medal For Bomb-Sniffing

LONDON — A perky British Labrador whose bomb-sniffing exploits helped save lives in Afghanistan was decorated for canine courage in a ceremony at London's Imperial War Museum Wednesday.

Eight-year-old Treo joins a menagerie of heroic animals honored over the years with a special award known as the Dickin medal, including 32 pigeons, three horses and a cat.

Sgt. Dave Heyhoe, the black Lab's handler, said he was "very proud indeed," adding the award was not just for him and his dog but "for every dog and handler that's working out in Afghanistan or Iraq."

Treo merely flicked out his rosy tongue as he and Heyhoe posed for photographs with the silvery medal. He squirmed as the medal was fitted around his neck.

The military nominated Treo for the prize in recognition of his help uncovering a series of Taliban bombs during his time serving in Helmand Province, an insurgency hot spot, in 2008. The Labrador is the medal's 63rd recipient since its inception in 1943, according to the Peoples Dispensary for Sick Animals, the charity that awards the prize.

Good doggie! Still, I bet the doggie would rather have a Snausage than a medal.

I know, right?! I'm not sure what he ended up doing but I know he was struggling over what to tell these communities she'd been a part of. I think he just let it lie.
