My game-addicted housemate ponied up for a DSL line into the house. We ran it through a hub, and now I have DSL too. Good-bye, dial-up! Hubby and I have discovered Yahoo Maps, and we've been showing each other the places where we've lived. I'm disconcerted by what I've found in my very rural home, because there are roads being built where there were never roads before, and nobody I'm talking to lives there anymore that I can ask "Why are they building on that hill!"
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[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.

I'm watching Center Stage for the zillionth time. It's really making me want to take a dance class. I have no idea where there's a good place around here, or if I have time, though.

Because books.
OMG, Hil, I just saw that for the first time about two weeks ago. I loved it! It's so cheesy, and really not a very good movie, but I *adored* it.
The scene in the off-company dance studio is HOTT.

Crap. The owners are showing our place tomorrow. No-sale~ma please.

Exactly! I first saw it because one of my friends is in it (briefly -- she's a dancer auditioning in the first scene), and it's just so cheesily fun.

This was the scene that made me want to take dance classes.
I think I've found someplace. It doesn't start until November, though. And I was looking for jazz, but this place has either ballet or tap. I think I might try tap. I did ballet for a year or two as a kid, and jazz for a lot longer. Was never very good, but really enjoyed it.

All Matilda pictures are lovely, but the ones with Emmett are just the bestest.

The status is NOT quo.
Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck! Medical whitefont: I evidently didn't gulp enough water when I took my pills just now, and I can feel them disintegrating PAINFULLY in my esophagus whilst simultaneously giving me a massive and nauseating headache.
I have had a ton more water and taken Tums and Pepto Bismol, but it's not helping. Please to send feel-better-ma in my general direction? Apart from my back injury, I haven't felt this awful in years. I'm hoping this will fade soon, but anyone have any suggestions in the meantime to get through it?
ETA: Oh crap, who am I kidding. It's nearly 2AM board time. Cold compress on forehead and sleep will have to do. Night all.

Hey, you're not alone, at least. Though I've got no help for you.

Thanks Connie. I really appreciate that. I actually just remembered that I do have a few Vicoden left, and I decided to take one to kill this evil headache. Overkill? Maybe. But right now if it makes me feel better I don't care.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
It's not overkill if it gets you comfortable and sleeping.
