What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

“Not dead yet!”

You mean besides his head? It's already there.

And it's chronic.

Punishingly Intricate

ita, I hope the surgery worked, and I hope your doctor rips Dr. Baraff a new asshole. I'd write a letter to the hospital administrator (or ombudsman) and publish it widely, but I'm rude.

ugh, yeah, seriously on all counts. ita, I wish you were here and had my best friend, the ER doc, to help you navigate the system.

This weekend I will have eated too much delicious Indian food for lunch on Friday evidently. Later I will go see Ted Leo at a warehouse in my neighborhood. Yay!

Tomorrow I am running in the a.m. and xmas shopping in the hood and going to some friends' concert in the evening. Medieval vocal music I think?

Sunday I'm going out to one of the big Korean grocery stores/malls west of here and, I hope, buying a manly bento box for my boyfriend and who knows what else?!

Sunday night dinner with band ladies. Oh! Also a friend is having a friends and family sale at her store that I have to get to. I think boyfriend's family's presents may be there.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What Sparky said.

I'd never heard of it [epidural] in a non-childbirth context.

I had epidurals twice for surgery on my foot. The second time it didn't take.

Chicago may get a new spire this weekend. [link]

In petty revenge, ita, you could ding him on Doctor Decision. Sadly, it won't help you with your meds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesus, ita. What an asshole.

I don't know. He did/does have a pretty hot temper. But, I can't see him attacking someone.

Isn't assault just threatening? Like, "I'm going to strangle you"?

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

Philip K. Dick radio tribute tonight

Surrealist science fiction author Philip K. Dick's birthday is December 16. In celebration. Total Dick-Head blogger Dave Gill will be doing a two-hour radio tribute tonight, from 10pm-midnight PT, on Pirate Cat Radio. Tune in to 87.9 FM in the San Francisco Bay Area or listen online. Dave says:

The show's called Psionic Dehiscence and I'll be playing some interviews with PKD - old ones - not from beyond the grave, some John Dowland, hopefully the VALIS opera (if you have a copy of this please email me), some Sonic Youth, Flaming Lips, and other strange rock 'n rollers influenced by PKD. I even hope to have some interviews with some of PKD's friends and family (no names just yet).

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Dr. Baraff is an asshole. I hope he develops a nasty, painful and chronic condition himself. Of course, he'd probably just write his own scripts and not have any problem getting treatment. Fucker.

I doubt he has any meds readily available that would lessen the pain from platypus venom. Billytea?

Ann, that's a ferret.

Generally, PACER can get you copies of pleadings filed with the court.

Assault/assault and battery can cover a lot of ground. It could be as simple as a run-in with a neighbor or as big as, well, use your imagination.
