Greta Christina and birthday coughing

[jinian]

Greta Christina on atheism and sexuality is kind of my new hero. I'm not atheist, though not at all religious right now, but the enormous wonder she talks about, of how all our different human mental states and all the life and environment around us happen naturally? I feel that, big time. And her ideas about ethics are good and right. (Link is a video but only listening is really useful; her actual talk is about an hour, and I didn't listen to the questions after.)

For my birthday:

• The cold I've had for a week appears to be bronchitis now, judging by the pain and nastiness of chest-based coughing. Still no apparent bacterial infection, so I'm just waiting it out.
  
• Posts and emails from people, yay!
  
• forthright wrote me a book! Well, my copy of Numerical Notation: A Comparative History came today, at least. It is awesome.
  
• Lab Tech got me a delicious Odwalla C Monster juice to help smite my illness. SO NICE.
  
• Family meals are planned later in the weekend.

Seriously, only one person wants to come to the drag show OR to dinner tomorrow? What are all you Seattle types doing instead?

I *do* want to come to something, and I will do. I am all stressy and stuff and forget I can do things. What time?

Drag show starts at 7:30. I'll be there sooner to save seats. Dinner after, and it's supposed to let out at 9.

ONLY one person.

You get a tag, you know. Content thyself.

Well, I live in Kitsap, so I don't know if that counts. I was tempted to go, even though we've never actually met, but I work on Saturday. I hope you have fun, and I hope you get well soon. And Happy Belated Birthday!

It would count if you could make it! Thanks for the good wishes.

You're welcome. How was the show?

Pretty good! Unsurprisingly, the most impressive numbers were lifted wholesale from Lady Gaga videos, but everything was fun to watch.

I have a (admittedly fairly minor) cold, an RPG, and a gluten allergy that makes dinner a chancy business. :/ And a hole where I previously had a rather large wisdom tooth, which has been giving me more pain than the previous removal. I would love to go to the drag show, however however. Belated happy birthday, and I do want to hang out with you at some point - starting next month, I will have lots and lots of free time. :]

Your cold will bow before the might of my cold. I understand RPG, but you wouldn't have to come to the dinner part. Will see you eventually. *hug*

Happy birthday!

Are there viral strains that specialize in bronchitis? There seems to be a lot of it going around just now.

Still far away. Hope you had fun!
