This is so awesome, my geekness exploded. (And not just because the article used pics from the Doctor Who episode "Being Human.") You should all endeavor to do something awesome with your Leap Second tonight. Make a wish. Make it a good one. Tweet

On this, the last morning of 2008, I have made a brilliant discovery that will affect the rest of my life forever: Wheat is one of my migraine triggers. If you’d like to know more about migraines (and some of the foods that are major triggers), you can read about them online (like here). Dr. Theda also highly recommends…

Last night I stopped…

Thing that made me happy today: caffeine. Which reminds me…what exactly *is* on the end of the Starbucks swizzle stick? Is this a mermaid with a cup of coffee? Really? Is she flying? Coffee doesn’t steam underwater… Discuss. Tweet
