It's weird being able to talk to Patty while she's away. Normally, she's on a dig and it's nearly impossible. This time around, we can email and talk a lot. Yet, in some ways that makes it much harder to deal with the fact that she is away, because I'm reminded of it all the time -- so close and yet so far. Constant longing. But, if the CH visit works out, I'll see her in one month. So yay.

Elsewise, there is little to report since I last wrote, 7 hours ago. Tonight, though, is all about creative meetings.

OMG, I have GOT to submit something to this. I don't have an idea in my head for it, but I must find one. MUST.

This made me laugh myself stupid. Note, while accompanying image is not NSFW, it is the cover of a porn movie DVD, so if someone noticed the big Hustler logo, that might not be okay for the office. It's okay for rollick's office though. Let her tell you why.

Some days the news is too much -- not for all the horror, but for the juxtaposition of headlines. See today's two side-by-side winners at CNN: "Cops: Mom taped toddler to wall" and "Cancer patient: I see Jesus in my MRI".

Things I can't believe I'm linking to (which may be a theme for today): iCarly and the spaghetti tacos. But hey, defictionalization!

In more serious news: A dancer living with AIDS talks about her life.

An inside look at the gay panic in Uganda. via supergee.

Also from supergee: How a placebo currency saved Brazil. It both makes perfect sense and is sort of brain-bending. It also explains why the Brazilian currency is named as it is.

Meanwhile, hazing charges at Sigma Gamma Rho.

Just had my first 2010 encounter with "the reason for the season" crap. Jesus is _a_ reason for the season. Not _the_ reason. Also, it's early October? Give us a month, yeah?

the_xtina thinks there should be a poll about a photo I linked to last night. Clickies below the cut.

And, just so we're clear, that distraction choice? That's for you browneyedgirl65

Every time I try to articulate what that picture makes me feel, I end up off on a tangent that has very little to do with anything. It makes me feel things; I'll leave it at that. It's a very beautiful photo.

Also, and I feel bad for this, but Luhrmann's junk steals the focus in every full body shot of him I see now. I can't not notice.

Yeah, this journal has officially rendered me incapable of seeing a photo of BL without checking out his package.
