I am semi-regretting coming in today. I am feeling better than I have been all week, but I'm dizzy, slightly sick to my stomach and coughing all over the place.

For lunch I have had a few bites of rice w/miso and lots of crushed ice. Wish me a tolerable next 4 1/2 hours!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I finally took the time to figure out how to make a song into a ringtone through iTunes. My new ringtone is Andrew Bird's I.

What is your ringtone?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Fun with punctuation

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What is your ringtone?

Doctor Who theme music from the fourth Doctor. The TARDIS materialising is my message notification noise.

Damn, I'm hungry. No way I'm making it to noon.

I keep hearing the name "Sammy" floating over the cubicles and it's taking me to a Supernatural place.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What is your ringtone?

Deerhoof's "Believe E.S.P."

How long will there be a "British ringtone"? Not just the preponderance of cellphones, but I'm guessing standard ringtones are in jeopardy because all the phones I've bought recently rang how they damned well pleased. You're going to have to say "classic British ringtone" soon enough.

Ugh. Migraine. Hunger has miraculously dissipated, now that food is heated up.

Our wings are not tired.

Daisy, hope you feel better very soon!

Given that most rapes are by men known to the women assaulted, the best rape avoidance tip is "Don't inhabit a planet with men." Which would be inconvenient for all genders, and I'd miss quite a few people.

This is what pisses me off so much about the DADT and the people (men) who are against gays in the military. Soldier interviewed yesterday (I paraphrase): "I don't want someone oggling me in the shower, or hitting on me...I'd be nervous sharing close quarters with a gay."

Um, hello, welcome to being a w-o-m-a-n. And sorry, asshole, but males raping fellow women soldiers is a MUCH bigger (and real) problem than you getting your tush leered at in a shower.

And I'd add that I bet there's a pretty strong correlation between the anti-gays-in-the-military group and male-soldiers-who-are-assholes-to-female-soldiers group.
