Owen's birthday. Wow. Before we know it, he'll be asking for the car keys.

So, I haven't brought it up lately, but...my ear. Do any of you have experience with tinnitus? Please tell me that after 3 months of hearing the ocean in my right ear, it might possibly go away some day? I put it out there to y'all, with the depth and breadth of your experience. I finally finished week 4 of antibiotics. Ear is still not fine. I go see the highly recommended ENT on the 13th. There is a mass that is blocking the view of the Eustacian tube right now, and my regular doc can't get it out. The ENT has special equipment. I am very hopeful that once the mass is gone, I'll be much improved. The concert the other night was such a bad experience (hearing-wise for me, otherwise the concert was great, according to my friend) that I will not attend another until (and if) I get my hearing back. It's month 10 of fluid (of indetermined cause) buildup, month 4 of earraches, one month since my ear blew up on the airplane to London, one month of anti-biotics. I am SO over it.

ETA: Suzi, she probably was scared and is now embarrassed. I'd just leave her alone for a while.

Oh, Suz. But yay that she called you, and you got her home safe.

Tomorrow night I am going to drink too much and get annoyed with people who are getting annoyed at me for not paying enough attention to the "games" we are playing. Unless it's Boggle or Scrabble or something; then I'll pay attention.

Blah blah blah "Ginger" blah blah.

Thank you, quester.

Blah blah blah "Ginger" blah blah.

I am waiting, like Ginger, until you say "treat"!

Hey, Megan, did you see that I put some photos up on Flickr from the London trip? Not all, yet, but take a look.

My favorite: William Blake and Brazilian waxes!

No! Say it ain't so. [link]

Aw, man, and we were just talking to him at WonderCon! And someone asked if he would get Anna to guest star on Human Target.

Blah blah blah "Ginger" blah blah.

Is that the secret word?

javachik, I hope your ear thing gets figured out.

Thanks.

P-C needs to learn some Gary Larson.

Is that the secret word?

Sort of: [link]

At least now we know, if we ever need to get information out of la javanaise, we don't need to waterboard her, just shut her up in a room and force her to play endless rounds of Risk, Diplomacy, and Settlers of Catan.
