Congrats, ita!!! That's so freaking awesome!
Condolences to quester and Jars. My great-aunt died yesterday morning. She was 95 and had been pretty sick for the last month or so, so it wasn't unexpected. But it's still hard. She was a pretty great lady--tough, funny, and generous. She lived down in the Rio Grande valley and I don't think I'll make it to the funeral this weekend but I'm hoping maybe to take a trip down there sometime this year to say goodbye somehow.
In total other news, I've watched Grey's Anatomy sporadically and enjoyed the ep last night but I didn't understand at all why Meredith
would be so (what was the emotion even?) annoyed/shocked/whatever that the Chief was visiting her mother.
Why shouldn't he?
lisah, so sorry about your great aunt.
Also, I thought it was because
she noticed the handholding and air of intimacy, and was suspicious.
This reminds me that I still have the International Museum of Surgical Science on my Places to Go in Chicago list. I've heard it's a fun, if slightly gory, museum to check out.
Oh, that looks like fun too.
So sorry for your loss, lisah.
I would so go on a gallstone tour led by JZ. It is only right that tommyrot be there.
No poor-me (yet) on the gallstones (might feel different at laparoscopy time). I'm pleased to know what the sporadic and thankfully, infrequent pain is about.
I'm amusing myself with a mental picture of shrift fighting a stubborn Monday with a lit cigarette and an Ipod.
Speaking of mental, last week I had a dream about a guy who was a travel agent and a woman who was a disembodied head searching for missing paperwork. My first thought upon waking was "Together, they fight crime!"
Woohoo! This evening's plans already included running to FedEx to pick up my Galapagos tickets, and the sandals I ordered from REI for the trip got delivered to the San Carlos store, so I get to run amuck there too.
lisah, that's why I wanted to know if she suspects or knows that
they had a torrid affair.
le nubian, I read that yesterday. Lori mentioned to me that others have made the same assertion. I guess it makes sense because it was with the move that UPN realized they could go after the same demographic as the WB.
I think it would be fitting if Buffy brought down two networks.
Perkins, when do you leave? I have something for you and if I get super inspired I'll brave the post office and send today. But are you leaving this week or next?
Little pieces of the WB here, pieces of UPN Everywhere!
My condolences, lisah.
How would you have disposed of it?
Well, given that my main concern was not having to pay $500, I wasn't too concerned. It's not like it was cancerous or anything. I could have disposed of it in the trash like rotten meat. Or I could have had it bottled in formaldehyde and donated it to the nearest high school biology department.
My gallstones were about 5 little marbles. My surgeon showed my polaroids of many other folks' gallbladders with stones and there was exactly the kind of range JZ talks about. the only one that grossed me out was the one that was riddled with something like 20 stones. Gallbladder attacks are some of the most excruciating pain I've yet experienced in life (knock wood) and I got sick thinking what 20 of those little fuckers woulda done to me.
