A belated happy birthday to Char of timcharmorbien! May a dozen Kais sing you to sleep!

included just so I can use this quote

Gacked from thalionar:
( Ooh, I'm bad! Bad baddy bad bad bad! Does that make you horny? Or terrified? )

It's from Buffy, 10 points to anyone who can tell me which character said it ;)

PSA: antibiotic resistance is real

Yes, the gubmint lies about some things, but not this. Discussion about the importance of public education about antibiotic resistance, some stats on overuse of antibiotics in clinical and agricultural contexts, and links to other antibiotic resistance sites. I'm hoping my friend L., who recently got her masters' in public health, will weigh in on this subject as I know she knows more than me :)

So - wash your hands, y'all. And if your doc tries to give you an antibiotic when you've got a viral infection, ask why!

local fencing tournament

Crossposted to fencing:

Cherry Blossom Open: April 8-9, 2006. I'm trying to get my local fencing buddies together to go and spectate - for all my love of the sport, I've never been to a competition, and this one is in my backyard, so why not?

No, I won't be participating (lack the skill/means/time right now).
