um, well, see, it wasn't here when it was supposed to be, only I hadn't posted it yet
You know how it goes.
Also? Never have blood drawn, deep lumbar X-rays (for which parts of your body actually have to be SHIELDED BY LEAD!!!), and do forty minutes of pool therapy afterwards...on a mostly empty stomach...and then go to Free Geek to actually try and work.
Little work got done. But, on the plus side, me being there as a space-taker-upper freed up the schedules of two staff members who needed to be working other shifts. Because we're so understaffed.
So go me. Sort of. :)
As dien says, few things are as good as holyoffice's review of the book, The Da Vinci Code.
Though, sadly, this was part of what convinced me my mother had more than a few screws loose--decades before The Da Vinci Code, decades before Holy Blood, Holy Grail, she believed that she, and others in her family line, were daily attacked by Satan's minions, because our family was descended directly from Jesus and the Magdalene, who actually escaped all the bad stuph and moved to Gaul to raise a family.
I'll allow a few moments for your eyes to bug back into your heads.
See, here's how personal history becomes crazy, and how I get my crazy naturally: the line of Jesus, so spake my mom, ran through his children to the d'Arc family, to whom we are, in real life (on my father's side), related. Not Jeanne d'Arc specifically, as she had no children. But her family.
On the Scots side, we have the blood of the Tudors, a few witches who were burned for "conspiring with demons", and the families of several not-so-very-stable religious sorts.
This is why all of the above makes no friggin' difference in the grand scheme of things: the d'Arc family was very, very diverse and large. As was the spawn--both official and non--of Henry VIII. The fact that my real-life family is linked to two historical families means only that the bulk of my bloodline comes from certain areas in France, England and Scotland. That's all.
This is also why I've said to people in real life that insanity doesn't move through our family, it gallops. Generally swinging a lasso and screaming, "WHEEEE!"
*PSigh*. But enough about my problems.
Did you know Silent Hill fans have made fanvids? Yes, it's true. And some of them even feature Corky & the Juice Pigs. Whoa.

And hey! Pics of Geek Prom! Yeah, lots of folks you don't know--hells, that I don't know--partying down, but it was fun. And so are the pics.
I count at least three costume changes for Rev. Phil, the guy in the top hat--and later, the lime green wig. Damn. I wonder if next year, bringing costume changes would be worth it. :)
All of this has been brought to you by the letters B, T and W. And maybe T and F as well. Because I needed this here so catdancer could pull it up. :)
