I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Woohoo, free pizza! And a soda!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Today Woot.com has a little carabiner digital camera with software that lets you insert yourself into scenes from some Batman movie or insert Bat-characters into your photos. How silly, right? I think I'll get one.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow on the race thing. I am used to racism being much more subtle (and I find it sad in Rochester, which was the home to Frederick Douglass, Susan B Anthony, and a lot of activism in the 1800's-early 1900's).

Are beth or Amy or any other diabetic Buffistas about? My doctor tested my blood sugar when I went in for my rash (which I scratched so much I had a secondary bacterial infection). It was 145, which I understand is on the high side, but it was about an hour after a large carmel swirl latte and a breakfast sandwhich. I now have to go for more tests-- but is my sense that the eating made it higher right?

Not diabetic here, but it's my understanding that they'd want to draw your blood after fasting since the previous night to get an accurate blood sugar reading.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Sophia, I think 145 is a little high even after eating, but it's not outrageously high. I think if your numbers aren't squarely within normal, the doctor probably figured he'd better check.

A caramel latte an hour before a blood test might well skew it high. So if you have a fasting test, like Matt said, that should give a clearer picture.

t edit What I'm reading from Dr. Internet is that blood sugar *two* hours after eating shouldn't be above 140. But you said you had the blood drawn only *one* hour after eating, so the food probably made the results higher.

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

I recently learnt that there are animal-member-shaped dildoes, and it seems that knowledge has relegated pseudo-rotting dildoes to "at least they're human shaped?"

"at least they're human shaped?"

Cold comfort. (Well, I guess if it's a zombie dildo, it probably *would* be cold comfort....)

So zombies are cold, like vampires?

So there could be a rotting cocksicle?

Well, they're the dead risen, so I assume they're cold. I mean, they're all grey and stuff, so I don't think their circulatory system is on the up and up.
