I know at various points some folks have asked if they could get a Diablo Sound T-Shirt or jacket or otherwise. I'm placing an order soon for another run of items before I start work on Halloween Horror Nights. If anyone still wants one send me an e-mail at my profile addy and I'll let you know the cost.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

I just learned that my Dad fell, couldn't get up again, and was taken by ambulance to the hospital. Any health~ma available would be appreciated, please.

Thanks for the health~ma, y'all. Dad's back home now. He had an electrolyte imbalance (severe) and was very dehydrated. The doctors believe the combination lowered his blood pressure so much that he passed out and was unable to get up again. The prescription? Gatoraide.
And day-um, that stuff tastes like nothing found in nature. But at least it's not another pill.
I'm gonna keep some the health~ma hereabouts until Dad finishes his chemo in September. But the emergency ~ma is free to those who need it more. Thanks again!

Aaagh. My hard drive melted on me with COMPLETELY NO WARNING (this is a macbook, less than two years old! One minute reading craigslist, next minute spinny beachball, next minute DEAD). And while the good news is that Apple Care means I got a new one free, the bad news is that my backup is like, nine months old. DOH!!
So consider this a public service announcement: BACK YOUR SHIT UP!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
I mentioned this in bitches already but thought it couldn't hurt to ask for a little -ma from the whole board. I'd been having severe abdominal and lower back pain since yesterday, and it got painful enough that I ended up in the ER a little before midnight board time. They've run a ton of tests and think that it is likely a ruptured ovarian cyst. I have one more major test (a CT scan) to rule out appendicitis in about an hour. A little let-it-be-minor-ma would be appreciated. Also a little give-me-good-drugs-ma. I've never been in pain like this before, and right now a double dose of morphine is all that's keeping me together.
Also, if everyone could tell 2008 to give the Pix-Design household a break already, that would be awesome. We could use a break from crises. Thanks, everyone.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I made the cut! I don't have a tape day yet but the show is called Trivial Pursuit: America Plays and anyone who wants to can tape themselves asking a question and send it in. The day your question airs, if the in-studio contestants don't make enough money you get to split the prize money.
