I am so happy to be watching 30 Rock right now. Brian Williams doesn't even have to be on it and he's hilarious. And THEN, "I just want to go home, watch that show about midgets, and eat a block of cheddar cheese!" Heart.

Edit: And OMG don't even get me started on Kenneth.

Dangit. I have a cellphone now. I'm glaring at it. I'll be lucky to be able to answer it.

Just got back -- I've also been in situations where I've had to tape the toe to walk comfortably. So, definitely a benefit even if it doesn't help healing.

sara, embrace the technology. Does this [link] make you an iota less cranky?

I'm watching The Nine. I've forgotten an awful lot. These flashbacks are the cover story they made up? Or some of them, anyway?

Nutty, when I badly stubbed a toe a while back -- it was spectacularly bruised for about two weeks after -- I definitely gained in pain relief from buddy taping, and a timely talk with a health-advice nurse over the phone persuaded me to try that instead of a :: koff :: walk-in clinic.

Speaking of nurses and health insurance, it turns out that I may have screwed up my COBRA coverage -- I need to call my ex-HR tomorrow and see if they have any leverage. Otherwise it won't be until 9/1 that I can pick up individual coverage for myself. SIGH

Yes, Kat, yes it does! I wanna buss those awesome cheeks of his. You are looking great, too. And he so has your mouth.

I'm making stupid noises at the screen now.

I managed to a)program my brother's number in b) put it on speed dial c) call him and d) answer when he called back. I think that counts as success. Man, the screens annoy me. Can't they just supply a freaking blank one?

Of course, I called him when he was trying to go to bed. There was a loud running documentary from D in the background. He's not having much success at going to bed.

Still grumpy about having a cell now. I mean, it'll be nice to have while I'm away, and next time I take a trip. But I resent it. I may have issues.

I missed something. why did you get a cell? Also, poor Grace: [link] Though this picture of Noah is so his latest personality [link]

-t, The Nine talk what do you mean cover stories? i don't think any of it was a cover story. the writers have been pretty consistent about giving us the real story about what happened in the flashbacks being true.

Also, I've belatedly realized that I can't go to Vividcon after all. I would have to turn around from my trip to the family reunion far too soon (like, leave during the afternoon) in order to get back to Boston to the airport, and it's not going to work, not to mention that I need to conserve the money I'm going to be spending on increased health insurance premiums. Which is really, sincerely, Stupidity Tax of the most sincere kind.
