ita, for what it's worth, aspirin can make my ears go crazy with the high-pitched "ring". If you're using a new combination of painkillers, that could be a symptom.

I'm degronkifying with my Mom, preparatory to getting on the road to home. Hopefully I'll only have to beat off her clinging with a club two or three times....

I mean, it's nice that my Mom loves me, but I suspect I know where my Drama Princess tendencies got started.

Oh, and the thing about Mallomars? For one, they're relatively fresh, which means a whole lot of difference in the texture and taste -- the Pinwheels are formulated for shelf stability, especially the candy shell, which I suspect is more wax than chocolate. By contrast, the Mallomar shell is candy-bar quality chocolate, such that it's delicious just to tease off a little piece with your lips and let it melt on your tongue. Also, the marshmallow has a subtle vanilla flavor, and the 'cake' part has a soft, yielding quality, like pound cake. You can eat them individually, or bite into one for a melange of flavors and textures.

It's a damn shame they make me sick.

I feel your not-exactly-pain thing with you mother. Mine's getting better, though.

I've had tinnitus for a good (ha!) decade now. But for it to be loud enough to wake me from 10mg of dilaudid. That's loud as shit.

I'm here and everyone's being nicely solicitous, but this feels even dumber than my mystery migraine pain. And to add to the drug soup, they gave me valium. Oy.

Egads, ita. I hope that clears up soon.

Happy Thanksgiving Day, Canadians!

I have to tell my twin sister today that we're moving. If anyone hears a strange wailing coming from Indiana, it's probably that.

Oh, I meant to ask earlier - is there fic where people write crossovers of characters played by the same actor? I'm sure it's been done since everything has been done, but is it common?

There's a bit of this in Due South fandom, there are crossovers with Due South and Hard Core Logo is probably the most popular crossover.

It happened a bit in Sentinel too, though Richard Burgi had largely been in crap TV shows.

I saw a Star Trek story once that slashed the character Robert Duncan McNeill played on Voyager with his one-shot character on NextGen.

What was that men-behaving-caddishly series ASH was on in the UK? Pretty sure I read a crossover between that and Buffy.

Know what words of another patient's diagnosis I never need to hear? "Labia majoris" and "abcess." Even if the news is good, I don't want the topic in my brain.

I need to go home. It's almost time to wake up. Today will suck.

There's a bit of this in Due South fandom, there are crossovers with Due South and Hard Core Logo is probably the most popular crossover.

And due South and Tales of the City... haven't seen any due South and Slings and Arrows or due South and BSG, but I wouldn't doubt it. There's a bizarre Mountie Slayer opus that has to be seen to be believed.

I can't believe I can't remember the name of the Men Behaving Caddishly series with Ash.

Man something. . . . something Men.

Mind not working.

Manchild.
