Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In other news, I was just wondering about the NBA playoffs, and right now it's Celtics/Pistons and Lakers/Spurs. What is this, the 80s??

I had the same nagging sensation the other night.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Just without the stars...

Actually, I never think about the Spurs in that pantheon, but I guess they can work.

Specialist never called back. If I thought the ER could page him I might try the ER, but I have no faith. Pisser.

Of course, Isiah Thomas just got canned from the Knicks, so some things have changed.

The Admiral! They were definitely at least semi-finals worthy.

It's the "must" that she's objecting to:

Allowing single guests who aren’t attached to a significant other to bring a date is a thoughtful gesture, but one that is not required.

It is impolite of a guest to ask if he or she can bring a date—but it is not impolite of you to refuse.

Oh, he definitely rocked the house (and had the longest shelf life of any of those team's stars, pretty much), but the Celtics, Lakers, and Pistons were definitely a tier above.

All pretty high up there, though.

Goddamnedfuckinghell. I can't work out if I should try the ER or not. I swear my teeth are shaking in their sockets. But dilaudid doesn't work anymore! Unsurprisingly, then, neither does sleeping or Axert or hoping or breathing mindfully.

Oh, ack, ita. Is there anything I can do?

True.

I wouldn't go to the ER if I didn't think it would help, but I don't know about you.

Find me the right drug?

Nah, I give up. There's no point going home feeling like this. I'll just take a right instead of a left and catch a bus to the hospital instead.

Thanks, though.
