No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

I thought I was going to have more connected time on this trip, but it looks like I'm dark grey through Sunday, 3/2. Having fun, though, and the whole breathing thing is officially doing better!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I'd like a little "let it be easily diagnosible and treatable"~ma if anyone can spare it, please. I've been having stomach pains and bouts of nausea for the last two weeks. Still waiting on the results of the blood test and the doctor is sending me in for an ultrasound tomorrow morning to check for gall stones and/or other funkiness.

On the plus side, I'll finally find out if my gall bladder is a boy or a girl.

~ma for mr. flea at 11 this morning - he is having coffee with a high-up EPA person to talk about possible Dream Job 2.0! He showered and shaved and trimmed his bead and moisturized his chappy hands that's how nervous he is.

Remember, remember/the fifth of November/the Gunpowder Treason and Plot/I see no reason/Why Gunpowder Treason/Should ever be forgot.

I need advice. Ms Havisham and I are attending NY Comic Con in two months, and last year we ended up staying out by Newark Airport, and that did not work out well at all. The year before that we stayed with Buffistas (Hi Trudy!) but that option is not available this year.

It looks like the only way we are going to spend less that 250 a night is stay out in Jersey, but I thought I would ask here and see if the hivemind can offer us any suggestions...

I am looking for speakers of either Acadian or Quebec French, to get the feel and slang of those particular dialects. If anyone can help me, drop me a line at the profile's email.

Test results came back today. According to the ultrasound all my innards are apparently where they belong and in the correct shape, so all is well there. However, the blood test revealed I have a stomach infection.

Fortunately, taking a ridiculous number of pills every day for two weeks should clear it up, so all is more-or-less well.

I release the health~ma back into the wild.

My beloved Aunt Mary Jo, of Pope-killing fame, had a quickly scheduled hysterectomy this morning.

The bad news is that it is cancer.

The good news is that it appears to be contained.

I am working very hard to believe the medical members of my family who are insisting that this is good news as far as cancer goes.
