The drug industry and regulations and doctors: deeply weird. I'm becoming quite friendly with the staff at my preferred ER and we talk about drugs and administering them a lot, since that's all I come for, not even a diagnosis.

I get 6mg of dilaudid to start off with. Many nurses and doctors have never administered that much at once. The drug is packaged in 4mg ampoules. But they want to start me at 1 or 2mg. I think they need to "waste" the rest of the ampoule, even if I need more later.

Not sure how they charge me.

The SciFi Channel has a new website devoted to new, fancy, high-tech toys and such: [link]

I need a new gym bag--something that can hold a change of clothes, a pair of tennis shoes, a small bag with kids' stuff, a swimsuit and a toiletries bag.

Speaking of Sci Fi, is that Alan Cumming in TinMan?

Yes, it is.

Also, Scary Eyes McDonough.

And CKR and the Bones' actress' sister.

(11-27) 22:25 PST San Francisco -- A Mill Valley man prevented a potentially serious crash on the Golden Gate Bridge today by using his pickup truck to guide a sport utility vehicle - in which the driver had gone unconcious - away from oncoming traffic, the California Highway Patrol said.

Aimee, Timbuk2 have been high on my list. I think I need one of the larger bags, though. I have a lot of shit to schlep.

That GG bridge story made my eyes sting.

Scary Eyes McDonough.

Love him.

BLESS him. I know a lot of people who take that bridge daily. BLESS him for not thinking too much.

I'm with ita in the stinging eye corner. That kind of selflessness gets me more than anything else.
