That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Watching last threee episodes of Season one Deadwood. Going to Ikea to order furniture for my new office. Cleaning up yard which suddenly became covered with 18 thousand zillion leaves. Going to the dog park. Laundry. Brunch with friends on Sunday. Off to see Syriana on Sunday night with other friends.

What are people doing this weekend?

Tonight, I go to party. Tomorrow morning, I go to work. And frantically do tons of billing before they implement the new system on Monday. Tomorrow afternoon, I go Christmas shopping, and then I go home and make myself start writing my Yuletide story.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

shrift, I'll have recs done too, so we can try and hook up on that this weekend.

I have watched four episodes of Homicide, filed paperwork, and cleaned my coffee table. Not too bad for a Sudafed junkie.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Tonight I may exercise to assess how broken I am before I see the acupuncturist. He's been expecting me to still be doing krav and so I can give him feedback. Except me no krav.

Then I'll be seeing the acupuncturist, and then doing absolutely nothing until I teach on Sunday, and then dining with Aimée. And bringing her the shoes.

I got the MRI results -- mild degenerative disc disease, completely unrelated to the headaches. So--not dying of anything dramatic, but no fucking headway made on the fainting or pain. I was hoping for something so a) they can fix me and b) I don't have to do the awake/asleep EEG next week.

Uh huh.

Hey, considering how many of my friends I unwittingly made unwell, I simply need to clear myself in the cases patently not my fault. So I can still have friends, you know?

Ann, that's a ferret.

mild degenerative disc disease,

Is this going to mess with your krav in the long run?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

1st, Kat, I suck. I was wrong, Mr. H does not have that song. I thought he had every Beatles and Beatle-member song ever, but that one apparently got away.

2nd- I made a coworker cry today...but in a good way. She's having a rough week, so we decided flowers, a candle by the brand she's always praising when I have it burning on my desk, and a card. I got her Gerbera daisies and some white bell shaped flowers, the candle in Vietnamese Ylang Ylang with French Lavendar, and a card that says "Any day that starts out with getting up can't turn out well."

3rd- Tonight I will drop by the bar for a minute, then to the house (which will be clean thanks to Juana!) to walk the dogs then up to Rock Star Karaoke with some girls. Tomorrow I work, and then I'm going to get the car washed and cleaned and decide on what goes in the package for my sister.

I have tickets to see Al Franken, but I'm not sure when that is.

In the long run, maybe. In the short run, I'ma build up my neck muscles.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Dag, ita. I mean, good for not dying or anything, but still.

I really need to get off my ass. I am currently in the lame state of wanting to see people, but not really wanting to go out. And my email is keeping things from me, so I don't even know what's going on. Bleh.

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

This weekend? Homework, homework, class, studying, meeting up with people to study, and then more studying.

ita -- good lord, when are you going to get some good news??
