Won't the History Channel only give you WWII?
They'll also tell you about the Freemasons and sex. (Two separate topics. Not Freemasons having sex. But they have many shows about Freemasons, and many shows about sex during various historical times.)
Zoe: Nobody's saying that, sir. Wash: Yeah, we're pretty much just giving each other significant glances and laughing incessantly.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Yes. But History Channel International also has shows on the death throes of the Roman Empire.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Talk about au fait with MRI machines. Good god, I don't mind them, but I'd not do that. For so many reasons.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
She had a civil war with her brother and defeated him before she was 21. She had her ambitious, conniving sister killed.
Also married (and killed??) a brother or two, IIRC.

So clearly I need to spend more time on the History Channel.
Or the Daily Show, which had the author as a guest last week.

I miss cable if only for the late night shows on History about weird conspiracies.

They don't call it the Hitler Channel for nothing.
They also do the Civil War. This is why I call it the Men's History Channel.

I will be accomplishing the onerous task of making a fool out of myself in front of 50 people during onerous task hour. Seriously, y'all, this is bad. I go on in 45 minutes and I haven't even gotten ahold of the deck yet.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm afraid I started my onerous task early.
Remember how yesterday I was waiting for the nurse who was supposed to show up while I was at the infusion center to call me back Perkins "Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes" Dec 7, 2010 12:07:10 pm PST ?
She finally did, at 5:56, when I was on the freeway and couldn't answer. She suggested I might need to go back for another treatment today, which is made a little more complicated by the fact that a) the office closes at 6:00, so there was no way I could do anything about it yesterday, and b) neither she or my doctor work today, which means that now I am waiting to see if my doctor answers her page, and if not, the nurse covering for the first nurse is going to have to talk to another doctor who has never seen me about if I need the treatment, and then if I do, I get to see if an appointment is still available, and then I get to disrupt my work day and other people's work days.
I filled at least some of the time I've been waiting for a call back with finding out what the process for switching doctors is.
