Okay! A few hours later and while it hasn't ceased to be crazy, it has gotten somewhat less overwhelming. I'm working in a children's hospital, which is strangely rewarding and at the same time very sad indeed. It's the GI Unit, and everyone is very nice (almost everyone I've met in Ireland has been very nice!), but this hospital is the most poorly designed facility I have ever been in ever. Ever ever.
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.
'Help'
Spike's Bitches 32: I think I'm sobering up.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy birthday, erika! Late last night Hec and I ushered in your natal day by watching the first episode of Deadwood. It kicked our asses in all kinds of good ways. So in addition to all the other goodies that are and should be coming your way, you get a special birthday toaster, you beautiful cocksucker, you.
I know this is a PR the A's set-up for him, but he is a really good guy.
Oh, yeah, I know that, but the hospital people are very protective of the Famous Folk who come to visit the kids, and don't like anyone who is not an actual sick child taking up their time. So I'm not even going to attempt to meet him; I'll just go to the Child Life Services office early to drop off the glove and a note and play all my emotional blackmail cards (decade-long employee, just back after a month of bedrest imposed after starting to bleed out just down the hall from their office, donated scores of books to the playroom over the years, blah blah bliddy blah).
If I could actually get near Swish I know he'd be fabulous, but I seriously doubt Child Life will let it happen. So, emotional blackmail of their staff it is.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
{{{{Cass}}}} That always sucks, doesn't it?

Ah. Nothing like a Deadwood birthday wish. Hee.

Mostly lurking...
So the Massachusetts Coaltion for the Homeless won't take the couch. See, there is a small, tear in one of the cushions. Apparently, the homeless people don't like that and won't take it.
Good grief. I can't even give this freaking thing away.
Of course, I promised my landlord it would be off the porch today. So, I've moved it to the sidewalk. Sure hope someone walks off with it soon.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies for erika!!

move out and draw fire
Nick Swisher is touring JZ's hospital today. She's going to try and get his autograph on Emmett's glove.
Cool. I was looking for something to send to Emmett (since when sending new baby stuff I try to send Existing Baby stuff), but that's far cooler than anything I could get.
Although I did find some flavoured condoms.

Always Anti-fascist!
Maybe I'll have rum, Hec. So far this is like one of Buffy's birthdays, but I'm hoping it'll pick up. Just to be safe, not saying "I wish" anyway."Crappy birthday" is almost the same, right? Thanks for all the wishes, anyway. I already feel a little better. Can't decide if that was cool of EM or, off the hook. My mother and I have still not talked in such specific terms, but a great deal of mom's past was...catastrophic, so she would not find that good, dirty fun. You know? Two words, 'bot, "Iguana style?" ETA: Heng mai, San Francisco cocksuckers(links fingers)

I have never understood things like this. It's free! Take it!
ION, I am having a Very Bad Hair Day and my toddler has suddenly decided she is made of velcro. Everywhere I go, there she is. Even the bathroom.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
That always sucks, doesn't it?It really does. Way more than I would have thought too. Can I be asleep now?
