And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
My Lunch. I wasn't kidding about the cheese.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
HMOG, that looks awesome, Tom.

They wouldn't make me a grilled cheese sandwich. Something about the grill not being ready. But that's what I really wanted.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Gah.
Just got back from the ophthalmologist. He said it could take months for this thing to work through. He again told me I'd probably suffer some permanent vision loss in that eye, but he also told me there's a chance it may not get any better than what it is now. Which would suck.

I love the reliability of ita's Mandela crush. There's just nobody else like him.
In other news, I think you all have made me want a tuna melt for lunch.
eta: oh, tommyrot, that's awful. Is there nothing he can do about it right now?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sausages, bacon, cheese, English muffin, butter. I couldn't restrain myself.
tommy -- don't hold onto chances. All that knowledge can do for you is cause worry. Wait to find out how it turns out. The waiting sucks, but don't predict your own doom.

All the eyerolling has got to help, right?

Nope. He said it's like my eye suffered a miniature stroke, so a certain amount of damage has already been done. If there are complications, there's stuff he can do with a laser. But besides that, all we can do let let my body try to fix it as much as possible.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Poor Tom. Eyeballs should come with a longer warranty than other parts.
Politicians and good hair are not concepts I put together in any sort of causal fashion. I mean, they're politicians.
Ooh, yet more evidence that Tim McCarver is actually a politician! He has bad hair!
I was writing a letter to the Sports Biz people at the Times, who print snarky commentary about how sports are covered on TV and in print, and mentioned that listening to that man's shallow, bathetic blather, when he didn't even tend to have his facts straight, was like watching presidential politics.
Which was why I was not even watching the White Sox/Angels game; instead, I got the Pitcher's Mound Butt Cam view of Andy Pettitte and the Cards/Astros on FX.
