One of the many, many problems with my email address is that the credit monitoring services go crazy everytime it shows up as a username in a data breach or in dark web monitoring. Here’s several hundred passwords that have been used in combination with [email protected] as a username somewhere and have been compromised. I promise that exactly zero of them are mine! There’s enough of them that they’re probably fairly representative of passwords in general. classic 1Sting 1027434 evan12 Gonavy9442 wolfman1 br84052 crosswin 1bobot Peanut pilots gol12345678 1988 hotty Flyboy1 marcus balloon1 hellcat noclue porn DIESEL 10345303 81101 jetjock…
Yesterday was my fourth and final Novavax trial shot. Berck got his last week. That night he reported that his whole back hurt and he felt terrible, although that was a pretty good excuse to not have to drive home from Serrano’s. Also, he couldn’t sleep on his arm.

Today was my third Novavax trial shot, in the crossover trial. So if I got two placebo shots previously, today I got a real Novavax vaccine. And if I got two shots of the Novavax vaccine previously, today I got a placebo.

Then a couple hours later, my arm really started hurting for a couple of hours. It’s calmed down quite a bit now and isn’t really bothering me as much. If I compare this reaction to…
The governor has announced that everyone in the state is eligible to get a vaccine as of Friday. On the other hand, we have appointments to receive our third injections in the Novavax crossover trial in three/four weeks. Do we abandon the trial and get some real shots? (The Lynn Institute instructed us to let them know if we had the opportunity to get an approved vaccine, and they would un-blind us to let us know if we are already full vaccinated or not.) Or do we stick to the schedule? I put myself on a waiting list for a…
The first year we were married, I worked in an un-airconditioned warehouse in Oklahoma City while my husband worked his way through flight school. Whenever I was having a bad day, my husband would put on Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, and it never failed to cheer me up. Despite being in the same city as The Flaming Lips, we never saw them live; we certainly never could have afforded tickets to one of their concerts, as I made just over the amount that would have qualified us for food stamps. Seventeen years later, after moving to Colorado and after…
