I think we have another entry for the back site.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Much cuter than my chiropractor.
So I spent Wednesday through most of yesterday unable to stand up straight. My appointment with him was yesterday morning, and he immediately sent me for an MRI.
I am horribly claustrophobic. You can imagine how well this went.
Got it done, although it required two appointments, two sedatives, three changes of position, and my husband standing right outside of the machine and holding my hand.
Today, my back is better. Still hurts like a sonofabitch, but I can stand up and walk. It's almost like after the freakout of yesterday, it's promising to behave better if I never ever make it have an MRI again.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Speaking of smells (ok, we were speaking of smells, a couple of pages back): [link]
An Australian couple who picked up an odd-looking fatty lump from a quiet beach are in line for a cash windfall.
Leon Wright and his wife took home a 14.75kg lump of ambergris, found in the innards of sperm whales and used in perfumes after it has been vomited up.
Worth up to $20 a gram, Mr Wright's find on a South Australian beach could net his family US$295,000 (£165,300).

I had no idea there was that kind of money in whale vomit.

DUDE! You never find stuff like that just on the sidewalk.

Well duh, whales never take the sidewalk.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
DUDE! You never find stuff like that just on the sidewalk.
Yeah. If only sperm whales were allowed to use sidewalks.

Always Anti-fascist!
Anyone else thinking, amid the chiro talk "Have you ever done it?" "I don't even have a chiropractor." Too much "Breakfast Club," I guess.

Can someone please get a Random Facts thing going about Batman?
If a thing ever needed to happen, it's this. Maybe when I get home to where my comics are...
Today, my back is better.
Oh, thank GOD.
