Quote List, pt 32
Any of you science/biology types know the name of the tendon that goes across the arch of your foot? Not the Achilles or the one that connects you calf to the bottom-ish part of your heel, but the one right across your arch that you can see taunting up whenever you flex your foot? Cause I *know* I have tendonitis in the arch of my foot, and I don't *have* flat feet which is what every Google search is giving me as an excuse because apparently that's the only reason for arch pain. And pretty sure it isn't this due to the posterior tibial tendon or whatever Google keeps spitting out at me, either, cause it is *not* the back of my ankle and heel giving me grief, it's the damn tendon that stretches directly across the arch of your foot! ::curses at Google:: All I want to know is how to wrap it before I go to gym or some such so as to (hopefully) prevent the painful sensation of my foot ripping in half whever I step on it wrong... Is that so much to ask?
That said,
Farscape is what Trek could be if it loosened its collar, let its hair down, and knocked back a couple of tequila shots.

Having grown up a good Valley Girl, Buffy had always firmly believed southern California to be the mall capital of the universe. Oh, she'd heard of that "Mall of America" thing in Wisconsin or Minnesota or one of those iceboxes that passed for states in the Midwest, but that was just something they did to get attention for something other than unimaginable quantities of snow. They'd put a theme park in the middle of the thing, for crying out loud; it was obviously an anomaly. Or maybe an aberration, she wasn't sure which.

Meanwhile, not far away, in Israel...
Jesus: "So, like, just be nice to everyone."
Followers: "Gotcha, be nice to everyone except Romans, Homosexuals, Other Faiths, Other Races, Prostitutes and Sinners."
Jesus: "...Uh, no. Be nice to everyone."
Followers: ".....What, even Homosexuals?"
Jesus: "Yes."
Followers: "Other religions?"
Jesus: "Yes."
Followers: "Surely not prostitutes and sinners?"
Jesus: "Yes!"
Followers: "What, even people we don't like?!!?!?"
Jesus: "YES!!! Especially people you don't like! ARGH! You morons give me such a headache. I'll be in the Garden of Gethsemane, having a migraine."
~ The Parody of the Christ
"Some of us still get all weepy when we think about the Gaia Hypothesis, the idea that earth is a big, furry goddess-creature who resembles everybody's mom in that she knows what's best for us. But if you look at the historical record - Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius, Hurricane Charley, poison ivy, and so forth down the ages - you have to ask yourself: Whose side is she on, anyway?"
~ Barbara Ehrenreich (gotta agree with her, there)
"I've never put on pantyhose, but it sounds dangerous."
~ Joe, The Princess Diaries
"Eat death, you revolting harpy. May you lie un-mourned and unburied, and may the corbies reject your bones-"
"Draco," a voice said plaintively and rather muzzily from the doorway behind him, "Why are you apparently trying to cast an Unspeakable Curse with a springer spaniel?"
~ Draco and Neville, Lust over Pendle (Harry Potter fic by A.J. Hall) (which everyone should go read. Yes, you most defiantly should. Link is here. Look under "Ebooks")
"OMG. I'm tied to my chair with bra straps? That's kinda embarrassing for a modern kick-ass female."
~ Lorien, Farscape Shippers List
"I've been saying for years that the worst way to die is to slip and crack your head open in the shower. I could see my spirit looking down on the scene now. 'Oh, God, why does the coroner have to be cute? Couldn't I have lost five more pounds first? And see, I only have one leg shaved...'"
~ Natalie, Farscape Shippers List
I've built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.
~ Simon and Garfunkel
I don't know when I noticed life was life at my expense/The words of my heart lined up like prisoners on a fence. /The dreams came in like needy children tugging at my sleeve/ I said I have no way of feeding you, so leave.
~ Indigo Girls
Also, my foot hurts. ::curses this damn fitness program for dredging up ouchies she hasn't had to deal with since high school gym::
