Last three excepted, I should be overfuckingflowing with vanadium. 'Splains the roll I've been on.

Seriously, vanadium has the cool sound, is totally obscure (no idea how much we need), is potentially toxic, and has lots of nebulous "potential" benefits. The vanadium thread is starting to brew in my mind. Throw in some fake links, some enthusiast enablers, and lots of ebullient bullshit, and we have a win, folks.

All set to invent a bizarre condition for vanadium to cure whenever Your Guruness calls.

My very stern grandfather, who spent his life first teaching high school science and then as a school principal*, had the most delightful way of reading stories. It was one of the little things that let us know just how delighted he was to have grandchildren despite his demeanour. He would cuddle you up on his rocker and read, mostly Beatrix Potter. He also did the most wonderful reading of the Owl and the Pussycat that I can still hear in my mind to this day, although he's been gone for more than 20 years.


*he was known to his students as Old Stony, but hundreds of them turned up to his funeral

That's really wonderful. Seriously.

All set to invent a bizarre condition for vanadium to cure whenever Your Guruness calls.

I'll think about it. Could be grotesque. Edit: Most likely will be. Apologies in advance.

You asked for the big guns: Nothing cuter than me!

Besides, it shows boobies!

Ahaaaaa... THERE you are!

[Gay Panda]

Gay Panda is sick.

However, Lady Friend stopped by for a quick flash to drop off a bucket of mashed potatoes and a ready-made deli chicken and dried mangoes and San Pellegrino and chocolate. Lady Friend is awesome, and I will try not be my usual Q-sized baby self about being ill.

(So I only say this to you, and in very tiny font: waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!)

[Saoirse]

feel better soon!

[Gay Panda]

P.S. You can keep your sullen, scoffing Emo Love, Bella and Edward. Gay Panda has mashed potatoes and chicken and the true Goth romantic stylings of Gomez and Morticia in the '91 movie on Netflix Instant Streaming.

1. Chinese hot & sour soup.
2. Copious amounts of red wine.
3. 2-4 g. vitamin C.
4. War movies. Full Metal Jacket, Longest Day, Apocalypse Now.
5. More wine; alternatively, bourbon.

Cold symptoms gone within 24 hours. And of course, need I remind you...

6. Copious VANADIUM supplementation!

Aw, thank you! I loved writing that piece. I'm glad that it was a short story and not a book - I couldn't bear to spend any more time with the character Anthony.

Ha! Yeah, I really wanted to kick his whiny backside. On the plus side, I have added the 'put the trash cans in the negligent child's bedroom' to my arsenel of parenting skills to call upon when my kids hit teenagehood.

Full Metal Jacket, Longest Day, Apocalypse Now.

I love a good chick flick.
