I'm walking over to the doctor's office to ask for information in the morning. I'm so not looking forward to being bullied, which I just know will happen.

My insurance company said to tell the painting company, and they'll likely just pay for my car to be buffed out or whatever needs to happen, instead of having to deal with insurance.

But if they give me a hard time, I'm supposed to call them and let the insurance company scare the crap out of them.

I'm still just so angry.

Allyson, someone hit my new minivan in a parking lot about two months ago (I really don't even know when it happened). It's crazy making with the anger. I hope your insurance company can get the painters to pay. It's not a lot of money for them to have it buffed out--so I hope they do the right thing.

I haven't even taken my van to get it checked out yet because I'm scared of what it's going to cost to fix.

so we're sitting on the runway...finally! ecxept that there are approximately twelve thousand other planes ahead of us, so it's going to be another 90 minutes until we take off. fun!

Allyson, my fingers are crossed for you.

Yesterday a cousin of mine asked "Guess who's gay?"

Weird-assed question for my family.

"Who's not?" is a more tidy question.

That childbirth article was really good. What a fascinating look at such a quotidian subject.

It was a really good article. And I like the word "quotidian". I would love to use that in scrabble someday.

I know the Hallelujia (how the hell is that spelled anyway?) song has been done to death in closing credits. I know it is a blatant manipulation, because, damn, that song is good at that. But I still love Jeff Buckley's version. It doesn't manipulate me for the storyline, in fact, it takes me out of it. I love the story of it (always a catch for me in a song- a bizarre fav probably being Dylan's -fuck I can't recall the right spelling- Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts sung by Baez) and I love the mythology of it. Tell me a story, give me blanks to fill in, give me imagery, let me imagine. Even better suck in some common myths or tried tales. And it probably goes to the top of the list

Hm. I need to find a way to make extra money that doesn't involve working retail or selling my ass.

Ideas?

Whale Rider star is pregnant. Mmm. She's 16 and her boyfriend 19. They started dating when she was 13. I probably wouldn't have put that in the PR release.
