brenda, your office sounds fantabulous. That is the most gorgeous breakroom I have ever seen.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
We have free grapefruit juice in my office
Okay, ew. That's how I know I'm some sort of supertaster. Unless you package it in Ting with sugar and fizz, grapefruit is one of the worst tastes out there, Ruby Red or no. Disgusting.
Slamming migraine tonight, thanks to the pain specialist. I guess he had to poke around my back to diagnose me, but fuck. Luckily I have a massage tomorrow and a nerve block Friday. If I'm really really lucky I may be able to get some Celebrex tonight--anything to make some of this muscle soreness in my back go away, since it's feeding straight upwards into the headache.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Gah, ita. That's lousy. Hopefully it's worth it in the long run with what he's able to do, but it sure seems wrong to poke at someone who's, you know, already in pain.

And no Celebrex. My life sucks.
I'm not mad at him for poking. I guess I'm mad at him for not saying sorry. But it's not like I told him he'd triggered a headache anyway.
My back is like sheet metal. It's been like this since the Saturday night nightmares. Everything shoots up to the skull.

Is anybody watching the Riches? Oh wow! This is a messed up show. I love it. Hello neighbor lady who picks locks and hands out pharmaceuticals.

eep. poor ita!
It's way too early and I've been up forever. First with apocalyptic imagery and then with the idea that I could finish my homework.
Then I got stuck and I realized the Buffistas might be able to help.
What is the name of the instrument that is used to crack open a chest during thoracic surgery? And what is the name of the device that keeps the chest the open during same? Are they the implement?
All of those weeks of watching GA and House and I've still got nothing!
Please to help!

Isn't there something called a rib spreader? I think that's the second thing you're asking about. I don't know if it's the same implement they use for cracking open the chest or not.

Um... I know they use regular hardware store-variety bolt cutters during autopsies.
See? Watching Dr. G, Medical Examiner does pay off in unexpected ways!
I just ate breakfast and watched The Daily Show and was pleased to find out that Aasif Mandvi is now an official correspondent there.
