I didn't forget about this, honestly. I had it open and then lost it when the power cut out. I'm sure you've all been waiting impatiently for the rest of the topics. This one's going to be short because I just got Wii Fit Plus and I'm going to go hook it up in the basement now!

Q- Quesadillas and other yummy treats (yumenohogosha)
( dessert recipe time! )

Q- Quitting smoking (shigogouhou)
( why I kind of cheated )

R- Regret I've had for a long time (sweetxtc666)
( setting a pretty poor precedent for my sex life. )

S- Spock (bubbles83)
( the number one half-Vulcan... no, really )

Apparently one of the majors in charge of this division of the Salvation Army said something to the effect of "we need 48 HEALTHY officers in this division."

I'm sorry, if that means he's planning on making my family move because my father is sick all the time, then he's a fucking douchebag and I hope he has someone exactly as compassionate as he is making the decisions about his life when he's in a bad way.

It's not my father's fault that he's got crazy vertigo and he's losing his hearing (he's almost deaf in one ear now, mostly gone in the other one), it's not like he's MAKING IT UP, and the only reason it's worth my parents even being in the Salvation Army is because they get really good health insurance, pretty much.

It would be really obvious if they moved my parents to get rid of my dad, anyway: they almost never move a family with a child in high school, and Rachael's only a junior.

Just thinking about this is pissing me off so badly. :(

I just finished The Universe in a Nutshell and I don't feel any smarter for having done so. In fact, I feel really dumb, because I lost what was happening way before M-theory and I don't get anything about branes or strings. My understanding fell off somewhere around the quark level.

Good thing I'm not majoring in physics, right? I'll stick with the humanities, they're less weird.


That said and done, my copy of the Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy arrived today, so I'll be settling in for a leisurely re-read of one of my favorite series in the world to coddle my brain after being braned.
