I'm thinking of putting a care package together for the delightful jakejr, so if you have anything you'd like to contribute please get it to me within the next week or so. If you're not sure what to contribute think citric-acid-sensitive grad student and you shouldn't miss the mark. I considered sending her some Ramen noodles just to be a wench but she'd probably just ask her boy to come over and smack me if I did.

Seems like everybody's going through some seriously stressful times right now, whether it's good stress or bad. I know the last two times I went to the doctor my blood pressure was starting to go up, which isn't a good sign. I can blame a lot of it on work but it's really just an excuse at this point. It's time to do something about it, not just talk about doing something. I'm so much happier when I'm exercising and meditating regularly and I must get back to that. Even though all I want to do when I get home is curl up and go to sleep that just isn't allowed any more.

PS- in case you didn't see the article, Jim Broadbent's been selected to play Horace Slughorn in movie 6. It's an interesting casting choice, not exactly what I had in my own mind for the character, but I bet he'll be a lot of fun. Many thanks to the odogoddess for linking to that one.
