I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

Did you know that there's a specific type of food poisoning associated with fried rice? Lesson: when you go to the funky hole-in-the-wall Chinese place, order from the funky regional menu that they care about, not the Americanized stuff they don't. misterrivkat and his dad had good meals, at least. And I eventually got my remix in, after I recovered. And I went to Pittsburgh for a conference. Still have to reschedule the class I cancelled while I was writhing in agony. Then I must write exams. Any fun trademark and First Amendment hypotheticals may be directed my way.

Comics still stacked too high, scaring me away from reviews.

Someone gave me 12 months of LJ! Thanks, someone! Can I do something nice for you? SV porn, perhaps? (It's occurred to me that this may have happened a while ago, and the notification might be part of the apparent release of long-delayed comments also happening now, in which case I'm really sorry I didn't know before.)

I learned one very important thing from my most recent story: When in doubt, break furniture. Mostly my feedback is varied and singles out different parts of a story, but this time every single person who said anything specific liked the impromptu office redecoration.
