I had dinner (soup). Then I had a corn dog. Now I'm eating a bag of Pirate's Booty.

I can stop being hungry any time now!

Today rocks. Not only are the Dems back (!!), but my co-worker friend is here from Japan and he brought me the adorablest Hello Kitty tin with cookies (he knows me so well!) and he told my boss that they will need me in Japan to help implement something in the coming year! WOOT!

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE :: gasp:: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Heh. Now I have "Connecticut is for Fucking" stuck in my head.

It was that or nipples.

So cool. Hey, we had the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, and first and second place were taken by Japanese horses. I thought that was pretty cool.

I also trolled through Jen's LJ to get ideas, which I'm glad I did, because otherwise I wouldn't have thought to send her the Serenity movie swag I had from the sneak preview.

pets Serenity keychain Teppy rocks, but that's not really new news, is it?

I'm thoroughly looking forward to Buffista seekrit giftee gifting. So much fun.

I've basically followed wider election results here, though I did watch Stewart/Colbert last night. Tonight I finally have some time to revel a bit and do some surfing for heartening headlines.

Commie.

I wonder about myself sometimes. I really do. Can I be a free market-ish commie? If people could just be nice to each other, that would take care of everything, but we've seen how well that one works.

They gave me Naproxen and had me start it the day before my period started, and I took it through day three.

I think that Naproxen is a pain killer, not an antidepressant. Still good for PMS, just not the same. And you're right, Jilli. Everything I've seen (except for pain meds) requires use over time, not just during those few crummy days.

And...how much do I love that Comedy Central broke the Rumsfeld thing? It's kind of sad, but I still love it thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much! Plus, I think it's fortunate that "i"s are narrow, so I can include lots, hopefully without making everyone have to scroll left to right.

A few years ago, when I was on birth control for a short time, the doc told me they had a version of an antidepressant that you took only during PMS. Of course, the name escapes me now, but I think it had a musically-themed name.

Of course, that was the Worst Birth Control Evar, so she might have been talking from her posterior.

Yeah, but my doc said if started before your period starts (which is impossible for me, because I'm not on a regular cycle), it can help with the emotional stuff too. Of course, she could have also been talking out of her posterior. There may be a lot of that.

When it comes to PMS and the physical/mental symptoms appurtaining thereunto, I have had fantastic luck with this OTC remedy called Premsyn.

Naproxen is like super-extra-strength tylenol. I used to take it for my knee.
