ER: Okay, there are two 'he's involved here, right? It's not one guy sleeping with his 14-year-old daughter and giving her STDs? He's sleeping with someone else's 14-year-old? Which, you know, still v. bad.
I think what my daughter's trying to say is: nyah nyah nyah nyah.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Katie: The "he" sleeping with the 14 year old is a Doc from the ER. The other "he" is the 14 year olds dad who beat up said doc.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
does the happy dance!
I just hired someone for my big project. Yay!! I needed the help ASAP, so this is a load off my mind.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Bah. Five and a half hours, almost all of which was spent waiting (if you count time spent on trains and a bus).
Anyway. I've heard that getting a shot in your eye is "not as bad as it sounds." Which is good, as it sounds pretty terrible to me.
I also might qualify for a new study, in which they inject a tiny little steroid pill (about 0.8mm x 0.2mm) into the eye, where it releases the steroid for a few weeks, then dissolves. The purpose of the study is to (hopefully) prove that this is more effective and has less side effects than the regular steroid injection.
Anyway, he did note that the bleeding and swelling in my eye has gone down.
eta: Oh yeah, I have to see a hematologist, as out of the bazillion blood tests I've had, two came back "strange." It probably means nothing, but just in case this does reveal a possible cause, it would be best to treat it to lower the risk of problems with my other eye.

Yay! Does it seem better to you, vision wise?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Anyway. I've heard that getting a shot in your eye is "not as bad as it sounds."I have been told, by someone I totally trust, that it's really not. Or, at least, that is what I think he said. I stuck my fingers in my ears, squinched my eyes shut and yelled lalalalalaaaa as loudly as I could. But I am pretty sure that is what he was trying to get across. I could ask again.

Yeah. It improved a lot the first 48 hours I was on steroids, with very slow improvement since then. Also, I'm seeing much less annoying crap out of that eye, so I've stopped wearing the eyepatch while on the computer or watching TV.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The pill thing sounds incredibly counter-intuitive, tommy, but cool.
Watching Week of Living Dangerously. Interesting choices this week. I hate the boyfriend--he strikes me as Clive Owen minus the charisma and good looks. Which is kinda scary. I can't believe they sent her into work in a backless outfit. Although she did have the cardigan option, I guess. It was a decent wedding dress for something not seriously picked. What did bother me--the assertion that the dominatrix was the ultimate expression of female power. Way to marginalise the gender, lady. Also, I think too much emphasis on wedding as ultimate (would you say that to a guy?) achievement--although it was needed for this chick, obviously.
I'm still really down with the idea, and would love to have my boundaries strongly pushed in that regard.
