Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

(Mandela, sweet Mandela)

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

All the eyerolling has got to help, right?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

Yeah, good point.

Hee!

Sorry about your eye Tom.

If eyerolling helps, I'd prescribe listening to a lot of Bill O'Rielly

That would work, if there was something to counteract the side effect of my brain exploding.

But then his head would explode and his poor eyeballs would have nowhere to live, rolling or not.

edit: HAH! xpost.

Hope the vision clears up.
