Yeah, public transit has been much more pleasant on the times I've used it on that side of town.
She's terse. I can be terse. Once in flight school, I was laconic.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Well, since we're not good enough/too good for trains, I'm glad the buses aren't totally horrible.

Just did the train today for my jury duty downtown. I gotta say I still love the LA train system, just wish it actually went more places.

X-post with Natter:
Whoa, a nerve block is IMPRESSIVE! Surgery went fine; I have 5 metal screws and a metal plate in my wrist. I woke up in a pretty serious amount of pain, and did actually ask for the nerve block the anesthesiologist had suggested probably would be desirable post-op.
Not only can I not feel a thing below my left elbow, my left forearm and hand are completely immobilized; I can't control it at all. Without the sling, it flops around like a dead fish! It's very, very strange and is supposed to last 12-14 hours.
And despite the anti-nausea patch they put on, I thought I would hurl when i got home and lay down, but didn't. I ate a piece of bread verrrrrry slowly, with sips of water. I tried to write something amusing, but my eyelids literally kept drooping shit and it was all:
myyyy===== ae \ ju7s kewe===
Mo, really. So I fell into bed for two hours, and up. Arm still completely as described before! DH made me broccoli and cheese soup and gave me a cookie, and I am drinking a huge glass of water with lemon: BLISS

Such times deserve a cookie.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I use Tom's and like it, but I live in the desert and don't sweat all that much. It's not an antiperspirant, so. But I'm switching now to my "headed to the swamplands" deodorant.
Glad you're feeling better, Strix, here's hoping for a good recovery.
SO's ortho appointment went moderately well. He needs to be on ibu for another two weeks, in the boot for another six. So that puts him in the boot for at least the start of tour. But the ortho lectured him enough about the nature of the surgery should he reinjure it that I think he's going to behave.

It was a WONDERFUL cookie. And the soup, while not the best broc/cheese soup I have had WAS the best broc/cheese soup I've ever had, you know?!
And if I didn't know it would probably injure my arm/make it hurt worse when the block wears off, I would videotape it flopping. (I've only done it by accident; I am being very careful wiith it now.) It is FASCINATING to me. Utterly no control, can't even twitch a finger.
ETA: I didn't hire someone well-qualified once because he stank so vilely, we actually had to go and send a student to buy room spray, the smell was so strong, it permeated our large uni offices and lingered an hour after he was gone. The interview was torturous.
