Happy birthday, Brenda! And healing-ma to Lucy.

Congrats, bon bon and bob bob! It seems only yesterday I was advising bon *not* to make her first date with internet man on Valentine's day, just because it was a romantic Hallmark day. Goes to show what I do (and don't) know.

One scary jack o'lantern (dubbed "Spooky" by Owen), bats against a moon ("Batty") and a wolf howling at a full moon.

In Jamaican patois, batty means butt. So I read this anecdote differently.

I really need to save up my pennies for a tablet, because this mouse shit ain't flyin'. Also, a bigger monitor would be nice. Two monitors would be nice, as well. Yes. And can I have Jason Momoa rubbing my shoulders, too? That'd be awesome.

Of all of this I have a tablet. I'd trade it in for most anything else on your list.

Had a good visit to the ER today. Well, not good, because good would mean I didn't have to have treatment, or anything. But the attending (I will get these terms straight one day) had a sincere and motivated attitude towards me and my pain, and seemed determined not to let me go until something had resolved itself once and for all.

He sat down so I could tell him what treatment regimen I was on, and it seemed important to him that I was being properly treated outside the ER as well as within.

And it worked. I'm home with no migraine, and I didn't have to fight anyone for meds while in the ER.

I wish this were permanent, or something, but I'm going to take what I can get, for the nonce.

Now to have cereal and juice for dinner, and poke around the TiVo before bed.

blessing on your ER Attendant -- having someone listen and understand , plus no migraine now that you are home, bless.

I warned you about the ridiculousness! I linked you to videos! I can link you to band primers, if you want. (Admittedly, I did not warn about the scene kids.)

The scene kids are sort of a gift with purchase.

(A shitty gift from your tacky aunt you only see once a year.)

I am decidedly in bandom. However, I don't read teh dirty fic.

(Unless you have actually sucked face on stage. Then its on your own head.)

ita, I wish all your ER trips were like that.

I'm not actually in bandom. I just like some of the music. And occasionally come up with stupid story ideas I would never in a million years write.

Happy BonBob Merger Day! I hope it was beautiful.

Holy crap, Urban Decay Primer Potion is the best thing ever for keeping shadow on and bright. I did my eyes when it was still light out (around 2 or 3), and wound up actually on the crowded and insane floor at the show (venues should have an adult section, damn it), and when I went to take it off a few minutes ago, it was as bright as when I'd applied it, and no creasing.

Consider this your daily pimping of beauty product.

The ER doc actually told me something I didn't know! Not in any way suggesting that my knowledge medical is comparable to a doctor's, but that ER docs aren't prone to educating their patients. It's not their job. They're there to patch and dispatch accordingly.

But this guy took the time to explain why ketamine is a kid's tranq, and not an adult one, for instance.

I'm reading your post, PMM, and wondering why it's greek to me. Then I remembered I don't wear bright eye shadow. But I'm guessing it keeps shadows shaded too.

Why do velociraptors have herbivore-set eyes? Do all dinosaurs have eyes set that way?

We like this guy!

Why is it 6:10 and still dark?

Wait, are we supposed to sacrifice a virgin on the Winter Solstice to bring the sun back? Fuck that.

Good question. T-rexes look like they have herbivore eyes, but their skulls are weirdly shaped to give them predator eyes.

Shit, now I'm earwormed with "Betty Davis Eyes."

Finally caught up with Natter. Not so much in Bitches.

Happy belated birthday, Kate! And happy birthday to brenda as well (hoping I'm not late for this one as well, and ~ma to Lucy), and happy, blissful wedding to bon and bob!

And {{mac}}. It broke my heart to read about it. Myself, I have family with a lot of skeletons and stuff like that, so I just lied through half of my family tree school works, knowing it'll be very complicated to get the truth out, and knowing I probably don't want to know it for I don't care much about it, but it will hurt people I love more than I can bare.

ION, this period of Jewish holidays is now over. How does one cope with full week of work again, dammit? And IOON, university will start next week. Fingers crossed for no-strike-this-time, please. I really want to study.

Shir, school officially ends for me this week, so I bequeath you my "school staying open"-ma as of Friday. Not to brag, but it was a little too powerful at times when I could have used a break or long weekend, but that's the way AIC rolls.
