'Safe'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
You would think I would feel badly when the masseuse told me that it would take a whole other session to get rid of the knots in my upper back and shoulders, but I felt incredibly validated.
Ha! I once had someone suggest I set up monthly appointments for a while.
Jesse, this guy did suggest that. And I am going back in three weeks. But our insurance only covers about 6 a year, so no monthly massages for me.
Also, because the session was completely covered by my insurance, I gave the guy a 25% tip.
Damn you and your communist insurance! I would love six massages a year!!
I finally watched Bones: while I am glad Eps is gone, I have to say that both DH and I yelled at the tv a few times - first for Parker not being gaurded because , d'oh. and second, just before Cam cut into Ep's wife's skull - dh was snorting at the tv saying at the very least she would be wearing a full face mask - if not a positive pressure mask (OSHA regs have you use a pp mask for woodworking - so for any possible biologiacal hazards...)
This is my work insurance, not the communist universal health care. Heck it's not that generous--we're no Sweden.
Speaking of communist universal health care, I saw Kiefer Sutherland on Charlie Rose a while ago promoting the premiere of 24. And Charlie asked him about his politics. (Kiefer's grandfather was a politician and is considered the father of universal health care in Canada.) And Kiefer said something along the lines of "I won't go into specifics, but of course I believe in universal health care. And of course I believe that the wealthy have an obligation to look after the less fortunate. Some might call that socialism, but I call it common sense."
The next day I realized in that last sentence he was quoting his grandfather, and I have to say, I fell a little in love with Kiefer.
The only thing worse than a sestina to write is a villanelle.
What does it say about me that I love sestinas and writing sestinas?
The b.org is dead at 6 a.m. EST on a Saturday morning, by the way.
Yes. Yes it is. Although, I probably would have started posting if I'd known someone else was up at that crazy time. Poor Cashmere! And msbelle!
So…we may be so over the Boston Light Brite scare, but I found out new information today. Apparently, there were two legitimate bomb threats during the whole Light Brite mess on Wednesday: [link] This makes the official reactions make so much more sense.
Go forth and Netflix it. You may not like him but it's a good role.
I checked my queue, and it's in there. So are 400 other discs, so we'll see how it goes.
Jesse, yes! Thrillers, sff, and Jennifer Crusie. Part of me tries to make me feel lowbrow about my choices, but that's not the part that knows krav, so it's a pretty short tussle.
Rolfing. That's what I need. I don't know about the hooey gooey uses of it, but fascia manipulation is what my (now estranged) PT used on many of my injuries, and it really worked well, including getting me off my knee meds. Uh, which I'm back on for my migraines, but that's not his fault. It just made the related body parts freer and less stiff.
One of the last massages I had was a fluttery gentle one, because I was having a migraine and the masseuse didn't want to risk aggravating it while she worked on the bundle of steel cord I call a left trap. I wasn't even lying face down. She loosened it so much I was amazed. I drifted off to sleep, and woke up able to move without the pain.
I still swear by deep tissue, but accept that in the right hands it doesn't have to hurt to work.
and I have to say, I fell a little in love with Kiefer.It's an easy thing to do. And a gooooood thing.
I checked my queue, and it's in there. So are 400 other discs, so we'll see how it goes.It'll happen eventually. No good rushing it.
The winners of TAR Asia!
An all-female team won it!!!
(And man is it cold in my apartment. Two pairs of socks aren't enough to keep my feet warm!)
Jesse, yes! Thrillers, sff, and Jennifer Crusie. Part of me tries to make me feel lowbrow about my choices, but that's not the part that knows krav, so it's a pretty short tussle.
Then you should be reading the Lee Child for sure. Jack Reacher is good times. (Also, I blame you for the fact that I couldn't find these books for the longest time -- I kept looking under Lee Pace.)
This is my work insurance, not the communist universal health care. Heck it's not that generous--we're no Sweden.
But still!
