Heh, I know they have something for me to do, but I'm waiting for the code. Waitwaitwait.

I'm waiting for the code.

Psst: Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene.

I'm waiting for a very irritating woman to contact me. After months of me saying, "I need to have someone look over this, I'm not an expert, I need to have a trainer tell me if this is realistic," she sent me a snooty e-mail in which she informed me that "we are pretty far apart" in terms of her expectations and my results.

Also, she talks in cliches and buzzwords.

My cat-bitten finger is a bit ouchy, but doesn't look threatening. The nail is particularly sensitive -- I've probably got some swelling under the nailbed. I can type OK, though....

t nag Truly, Theodosia, will you please at least call your doctor and tell him or her what happened, and the current condition of your wound. Sophia was sure she was going to be fine because she cleaned it well and it didn't look that bad, too. Seriously. Please. C'mon. If an animal (including human) bite breaks the skin, it's serious enough to at least run it by a medical professional, over the phone. Cat bites are particularly tricksy because of bacteria they carry.

I could close the nag tag, but I'm otherwise inclined.

For Gus and Corwood, and the other Wirefiends in my little crew here: Woo hoo! Drug buys on Sundays...my life makes sense again! Even if I'm sad and get excited by reruns. Why do I love this show? Because of stuff like "What makes you so sure they'll promote the wrong man?" (pause) "We do it all the time." And "That guy is such an idiot if he were one of ours, he'd be a deputy commissioner by now." Good old Prez. I take some shit for my soft spot for him(different than the ribbing for my Mad McNulty Love) but the guy spends so much of his time between a rock and a hard place, I feel bad about it. This does not mean I approve of shooting young black men, though.

Okay, I called the Blue Care line and talked to a nurse, who really does think I should at the least show it off to a doctor-type person, so I'll call my physician's office and see if they'll fit me in. Thank goodness they're about a five minute walk over from my office....

Dana, I'm a horrible skipper, but - how do you like your hair-cut now, several days after its newness?

So glad you called them, Theo.

Grr. Can you point out to her your months of asking for feedback and guidance, or will she just spit a buzzword at you?

I spoke to soon. Australia v. Japan was not boring.
