I had a migraine Friday, and it was bad enough that I stayed home. I slept most of the day, and still felt tired when I finally got up at 6:30-ish that night. Ugh. A day in bed sounds wonderful when I'm feeling well, but when I have a migraine I'm in too much pain to appreciate it. It's so not fair ( Read more... )

So. At lunch today, The fontosaurus and I played Death is Not an Option.

Me: Okay, if you had to choose one, would you do Paris Hilton or Tara Reid? And remember, death is not an option.
The fontosaurus: Both. At the same time.
Me: *shriek*

Best answer evar. Also funny: I made him choose Bea Arthur once.

• I joined the gym yesterday, and spent twenty painfully boring minutes on the thingy that's like running but isn't a treadmill. There's a word. I cannot think of it. But anyway, I did it, and I thought I was going to die. It wasn't at all that it was too physically difficult, but dear god, what is your brain supposed to do while you're slogging ( Read more... )

It only just occurred to me this weekend that summer is not going to last forever, and that realization made me sad. That is so not like me. I've bitched and moaned about the misery that is summer for years, trying to will the season to pass more quickly and hoping desperately to see a colored leaf on a tree so that I can say I got to enjoy ( Read more... )

• My skull? I am bored right the hell out of it. This will no doubt change as soon as the meeting going on in the conference room ends, and that's just fine with me.

1. One book that changed your life?

Magic's Pawn, the first book of Mercedes Lackey's series, The Last Herald-Mage. It was my introduction to fantasy. It opened doors to new worlds that I'd never imagined existed, and it helped me explore my beliefs about people and relationships and diversity in many areas. I might be a very ( Read more... )

rebecoming! fontosaurus! Have you seen owlyfriend? *squee*

The trista: Huh. So, not as impressive as all that, then? He made it sound like the BMW of shops.
The fontosaurus: This coming from the Yugo of human beings?

This, my little FriendBots, is why The fontosaurus cracks me the hell up.

The fontosaurus posted today about something called We Are the Web, which will not load for me no matter how nicely I ask it. Naturally, my brain turned that into We Are the World and began to sing.

We are the world
We are the...

Um.

...problem?That can't be right ( Read more... )

I had the best 4th of July evar. I went to Valleyfair with The fontosaurus, where I did fun things, ate yummy food, was sure I would die, watched fireworks, and laughed my head off.

We started with Steel Venom, which moves faster than it seems when you're standing in line waiting to get on. Much faster. Much. Faster. The Facts and Figures thingy says it ( Read more... )
