Those of you who'd know - I've been asked if there is anywhere in San Francisco or environs where you could shop/buy something like a Scottevest, but possibly even higher end?  Also, if you know of anyplace that you'd send a tech nerd for high end gadgetry shopping.

Lara Beaton fixed me.

Lara Beaton fixed me.  I is not well, but I is not sad.  She fixed me with steak and ballerinas. That's bellinis and caipirinhas.
I's broken.  FIx me.

Things that make me feel better - coming up with nerdy names for Amy Young 's nail polish colors.  Today's edition: silly staining references.  Crystal Violet, Oil Red O, Sudan Black, Acridine Orange, Malachite Green, Coomassie Blue, Safranin Yellow, Gomori Silver, Fluorogold.  There are lots.
TIL constant pouring drizzle does not make you feel better.

Everything tastes like zinc, or something.

Everything tastes like zinc, or something.  Everything being tea and chicken broth and one attempt at bread with a little cheese melted on it.  But it's commercial chicken broth; there should be, like, a gazillion mgs of sodium in it, and yet I taste none.  If tasting metal made you better, I'd go out on the porch and start licking the railings right now.   #whinywhinyprincess

Hi.

Hi.  I just caught up.  A) I guess women will have to cover all exposed skin, then, as it excretes, and B) Breasts secrete.  If you are going to repress people, you could, you know, at least do it right.  Oh, and there might be bare breasts in the link?  In case you slip and hit play. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/15/rep-rayne-brown-north-carolina-introduces-bill-criminalizing-nipple-exposure_n_2695720.html http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/15/rep-rayne-brown-north-carolina-introduces-bill-criminalizing-nipple-exposure_n_2695720.html

There is nothing polite I can say to express my current circumstances and how I feel about them.  I suppose it is a good thing I am not the hulk.

No, I am not going to spend time reading the study right now.

No, I am not going to spend time reading the study right now. Yes, if age is a critical risk factor, and more people are aging, there will be more people with Alzheimer's. The only definitive preventive treatment for conditions in which age is the critical factor is to stop aging.  Currently, the only proven anti-aging treatment is one for which most people don't opt. Study: Number of People with Alzheimer's Disease May Triple by 2050   _Neurology® The Official Journal of the American Academy of Neurology_   The number of people with Alzheimer's disease is expected to triple in the next 40 years, according to a new study published in the February 6, 2013, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology. "This increase is due to an aging baby boom generation. It will place a huge burden on society, disabling more people who develop the disease, challenging their caregivers, and straining medical and social safety nets," said...

So, we got done early at work today.  Therefore, I constructively went downtown and had The World's Rarest Chocolate ( http://www.maranonchocolate.com/ ).  I'm quite sure it was in the hot chocolate, since it was part of http://www.cityfood.com/events/hotchocolate/ , but I don't know if it was in the side items, all of which were or contained chocolate. It was delicious.

Today is behaving, although the headache is back, albeit at a dull roar.

Today is behaving, although the headache is back, albeit at a dull roar.  It occurs to me this may have something to do with the weather (brilliant insights R us).

So, the headache abated (thank the little gods).

So, the headache abated (thank the little gods).  And today failed to reach it's full misery potential (thanks for all the fish).  Modest misery, only.  We have an improvement!

The firings will recommence immediately.

The firings will recommence immediately.  In particular, the hollow despair of Sunday, the raging headache (and its friend, nausea) courtesy of today, and the pre-planned misery of tomorrow.  Gee, thanks for letting me know today so I could be prepared.  *wanders off muttering, holding head in pain"

This morning saved this week from being fired:  the surgery workshop happened, and people came.  Something I did actually worked.  We are now certified to implant the latest 1 x 0.3 mm devices.  Won't give specifics, as it might be squicky for some.  I'm sure those of you who know me can envision it.
