I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, Showgirls is really really not good, huh? Maybe if I watched it a dozen more times in the right company, but I don't think so.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Showgirls was educational for me.

A) Brown rice and broccoli is the magic food stuffs that will lead me to ultimate skinniness.

2) Never be first down the stairs.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I also have to get my car smogged. I just came across the form for that today but I have a couple of weeks to get it done. I hope it passes, this'll be the first smog check since I've owned it.

Oh, I thought of a movie I use a lot of quotes from that nobody's mentioned - Brain Candy. "Do you agree that Paris is the capital of France?...Now that we're back in agreement" probably the most, but there's quite a few that will pop out without me really realizing it.

Insurance is required in MA, is the deal here. So I don't know what happens if you're uninsured.

They have a health plan available for unemployed/uninsured. Mass Health, I think?

But that still doesn't speak to where you get the best care if you're uninsured, is what I meant. And that was the original question, right?

If you're a single (edit: I don't mean single, I mean without kids) non-disabled adult, it's pretty much impossible to get free government insurance, as far as I know, no matter how poor you are. But if you show up at the city hospital, they have to treat you.

Yeah, I am doing lesson plans right now, and I am building in announcement which basically read SHIT STILL DUE IF WE HAVE A SNOW DAY; GET OUT OF BED AND READ, BITCHES!

But, you know, NICE.

There are hospitals here in Utah that call themselves not-for-profit and they take care of the uninsured--having been one of those sorts, I know this. However, they will try to get money out of you but are surprisingly good to work with.

We're still in Vegas. Night 3 in Vegas is 2 too many for me. I am EXHAUSTED, which might be the result of me carrying both twins at the same time around The Strip.

Want a vacation please. Oh yeah. I'll get one when Grace has surgery on Tuesday.

So, Showgirls is really really not good, huh?

Oh hell no. I mean, for quite a while it's the good kind of wretchedly awful, and you think maybe they knew how bad it was, and then they even ruin the campy enjoyment part.
