We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

If I could request some health-ma, one of my closest friend's fiance is going into to the hospital. He's been having ongoing problems with his legs, and a misdiagnosis of frostbite led to one of them being amputated below the knee. I guess his other leg has been giving problems, and has a taken a major turn for the worse. Some health vibes towards Boston (and MGH) would be appreciated.

One related question: has anyone else heard of a bone infection, and what that might imply?

A lot of health-ma coming right up.

I've heard about bone infection. I know it can get nasty and painful. I can ask my mom later tonight, when I'll see her.

Oh, its ok, msbelle - it can wait, really. And thank you!

And so right there with you, only I'm going to type this sentence on Sunday. Hardly got any work done today, and I have a deadline on Monday.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Frank! Good luck to him.

So I'm getting sick of all the music I already have and ordered some more. But now I keep wanting it NOW NOW NOW. And I only ordered it Tuesday, so... not so much.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I'm getting sick of all the music I already have and ordered some more.

Heh. I just passed 13,000 songs in my iTunes library, and sometimes I still feel like that. And my iPod only holds about 11,000 songs! It's a wonder I can get through the day....

I have become one of those people who say, "That's all?" whenever someone lists the number of songs in their iTunes library.

I try really hard not to say it, though! I suppose that doesn't earn me any points.

But yeah, like tommyrot, I need one of the shiny new 160GB iPods, because deciding what music gets on my wee iPod can get pretty vicious.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

My iTunes library fits comfortably on an 8GB iPod Touch, and I'm okay with that. I pretty much only listen to podcasts these days anyway.
