I hate that commercial where they're like 'up to 70% of people with genital herpes got it from a partner with no signs or symptoms'. Are there really 30% of people having sex with people with herpes sores all over themselves?

(American) Football games are bad for my diet. Football games where Denver is losing because St. Louis is cheating, doubly so. I mean, give me a break. They thought that if they ran as fast as they could back to the line of scrimmage, Shanahan wouldn't have time to call the review on the last play. Hmm. Opposing team running back to the line of scrimmage, you kinda think something's up.
And a message to Denver's offense: what the hell were you doing out there? Defense did well, though. Didn't let in even one touchdown, even though St. Louis got really close a couple of times.

The refereeing thing was hard. Because I pulled something in my right leg while I was sleeping last night, and then I had to go climb up to the up-ref's platform thing, stand up there, climb down, repeat for 4 hours.

Lisa Edelstein and Jennifer Morrison should get are so together. Evidence.

(Not) writing my dramaturgy letter assignment thing for theatre. Fangirling over Lisa E./JenMo and Cameron/Cuddy and trying to identify this huge mess of songs on my hard drive from which all/most identifying material was lost when I converted them from mp3 into the smaller wma instead.

I want to know who the 14 other people are that put Susan/Delenn as their favorite non-canon femslash pairing on Babylon 5 in this poll. Then I want to find out whether they've written fic.

Oh, and I actually saw Friday's SG-1. Yay for no-memories Vala. And tied up people. And Sam's 'losing your pants' line.

And with that, I'm off to bed. As soon as I come up with a word that means organization or association or something like that that begins with H.

Signing up for this mini-med school thing at Wash.U. Because I'd been looking at the website, waiting to be old enough to do it for more than 5 years now, and I was finally old enough last year, but missed the deadline (as they publish the new dates for the sessions only 4 weeks before they start).

It's Tuesday nights, though. I'm going to miss my House. (Which can be taped/downloaded, so that's okay.) But NCIS and SVU are (at least right now) on at the same time, and I can't tape both of them, so that makes me sad.

Did you know that there was a Magic Smoking Monkey Theatre group in St. Louis? They're Shakespeare people. I think I'm going to use them for my theatre thing. Though I liked my made up Princeton-Plainsboro Theatre House thing, it turns out we've got to have a real one.

This = sad.

On September 8, the Ugandan newspaper Red Pepper published a list of 13 women they claim are lesbians. Homosexuality is a criminal offence in Uganda, and Amnesty International believes that making such allegations against these women may put them in danger. The article called for people to name other women suspected of being lesbians in order to ''rid our motherland of the deadly vice.''

So everybody that is cool like that, go do this email letter thing with Amnesty International here and tell all these Ambassadors/President people that this is crap.

Did you know that 39 people were still using tank respirators (like the iron lung) in the USA in 2004? I totally didn't. Had no idea that those were still used. /research for IB History of the Americas project.

Disease of the day: Ondine's Curse. Congenital malformation of the autonomic nervous system resulting in no respiratory action without conscious intervention. Named for the myth of Ondine, who cursed her cheating husband to stop breathing and die if he ever fell asleep.

Oh, and I'm mad at my math teacher. For grading my test meanly. She took off half the points of the question where any other teacher would have taken off one point or one-half, for things like a missing negative. There was one question where it said to describe the behavior of the graph to the left and right of each asymptote, and I described the bits going down on either side from the asymptote instead of the bits on either side going up to the asymptote, and she took off all the points. My answer was just as valid. *is angry* I haven't done that poorly on a math test in a long time.

And my english teacher is still assigning 16 times the work that the other english teacher that is teaching the same course is. We've got these article things to read and do a "journal entry" over every night, and she still expects us to have a whole rough draft of a paper by Wednesday, while the other class doesn't do the articles and only has to have 300 words of their draft on Wednesday.

Went to doctor right after school. Had to walk, which was not fun. It was hot and sunny and if you squint, I'm definitely more tanned than I was this morning. Bad. But the doctor is nice, she knows me even though I don't see her that often, and we always talk about books and colleges and things and she really seems to be a nice person, which is good.

Oh my god. Coolest thing ever. *geeks out*

It's not the method I would prefer, I think, but the smaller incision must cut back on recovery time and mortality rate. And it's still bigger than the side one that I don't like at all.
