I heard about that death on the radio this morning. Just goes to show that you can never rely on anything being foolproof, especially when anesthesia is involved. There was a case earlier this year where a dentist put a little girl under for a tooth extraction and she died.

In mememe stuff, these are the frames I picked. They were the first ones I tried on, and I ended up sticking with them.

A bunch of staged photos of bizarre/disturbing scenarios....

Cute frames, Kathy! That's strange but neat about your vision improving.

Had meatball sub.

So very full now.

I hope Jilli is around: [link]

That sound you people may have heard? That was the sound of my brain shorting out.

How is he so pretty, Jilli? How?

Dude, I don't know. Obviously, we must study him to find out. And to talk about comics and RPGs and such. For science!

He makes me want to go nerd-hunting in basements around the world in the hope that we'll find another one who hits critical hotness at age 30, but I suspect he's the gorgeous geek equivalent of monkeys typing Shakespeare.

I went to the DMV and the woman didn't mention taking a new picture, and that would have been a whole nother wait, and we weren't communicating so well (she was deaf with cochlear implants, so kind of hard to understand), so I let it go. Apparently they will mail me the new license in two weeks. And my vision (with glasses) was just barely good enough to read the eye chart, once I figured out which frigging line I was supposed to read. Hint: it was the one circled in red.

I also went shopping, where I got a super cute dress for $14, which justified buying a cashmere sweater for ... considerably more.

I miss the NY DMV, where they let you take your picture over if you don't like it and, more importantly, don't list your weight. Le sigh.
