Big ol' happy birthday wishes go out to lyonesse!

It occurred to me that I need to contact Dr. Marshall to ask her how soon after the surgery I need to see her again, just to make sure I go on thyroid meds at the proper time. Last time around I still had half a thyroid left, but this time I won't have ANY, and I don't know how long it'd take my system to chug through all the thyroid hormone left over once the thyroid is removed. I've called in to ask about that, though I had to leave voice mail. Whee.

Episode 2 of Battlestar Galactica's second season tonight; looking forward to that, as well as to mamishka's coming over to watch the episodes of The Dead Zone that have been stacking up on our Tivo. (Even though I do not approve of the new theme song for the show for this season.)

Thursday miles: 1.86

Bwahahaha!

I just spotted this over on jim-butcher.com, on his report from ComiCon:

The charity auction raised a bunch of money for St. Jude's and the Pediatric AIDS Foundation. I realized when it was 2 minutes from over that I had completely forgotten to bring anything to donate for the auction, so I borrowed a page from David Weber and offered up a GRUESOME DEATH. The winner of the auction gets written into the next Dresden book I write (book 9), and DIES HORRIBLY! And they can even help choose how HORRIBLY THEY DIE! And it raised 3100 bucks for charity. Congratulations, Anna! (Pronounced ah-nah!) I look forward to GRUESOMELY MURDERING you.

DUDE! I totally want to be in a position where I can offer 'being gruesomely murdered in my next book' as a prize. :D

(And he writes good books, too! Now I'm feeling like re-reading all of the Harry Dresdens all over again.)
