Was this a new ER protocol that produced the good days (ie, could you hope to replicate)?

I think so. What remains is my decision--how often do I go in and get blasted fucking silly with so much narcotics that doctors think I'm lying when I tell them the dosages I've had and walked out?

Might be moot, since this past trip it took them three nurses and over half an hour to find a vein that didn't blow or roll as they tried to put in the IV. Apparently the next step is the feet, and I really really don't want that.

But hey, there's a lot I don't want. I just have to prioritise.

Note to CSI writers: many police forces do not allow their people to remove taser barbs from people that have been shot, instead making it a medical procedure. So when Sara does it with her teeth with little indication of discomfort? Oh, who am I kidding? I'm still not sure how she lifted the car off herself.

I don't like that show. I should stop watching.

Any time now.

I just followed an ATK recipe for chicken tortilla soup and now it's too spicey. CRAP.

Yeah, I can see the toughness of that call. It's a stopgap at best, but I'm pleased that you have some prospect of relief when you decide that it's worth the downside.

And I'm with you on csi. Not for exactly the same reasons, but, yeah.

Dump in sour cream and lots of cheese. And serve honey and chips on the side.

only problem? No sour cream. Or honey. or chips.

Wow. Answering the door hurt my head so much that I don't want to eat the pizza anymore. And I don't have a narcotic in the house I haven't built up a resistance to, so I got nothing in the way of options.

CSI: and how did what's her name get the car flipped over anyway? At least Sara had the water on her side. Or whatever. Also, would it really be that dusty the day after a big rain storm?

I am currently watching Dirty Sexy Money and LOVING IT.

CSI: Between not knowing what actually happened to Sara and what Grissom was imagining from the evidence, and just get distracted and not paying close attention, I'm really unclear on how any part of the attempted murder or the survival (?) happened. They are dragging out the will-she-pull-though-or-not question, right?

No, the preview was conclusive.

Now I'm watching Shark, which I really got to like last season, and I'm glad to see Kevin Alejandro working!

Oh, and in other news, I think I've identified another reason I don't see "celebrities" around -- I don't know why they are! While I was in the dressing room at Banana, some other people were all excited about someone from the Sopranos in the store. I think I saw who they were talking about, but she rang no bells at all for me.
