'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I did my term paper for my British history class on the economic impact of the Black Death on medieval England--that's what got me started on the subject.
That, and my professor's notorious Rat Lecture which he gave every semester throughout his career. Since I had him for both History 101 and the Brit History class, I got to hear it twice. He went into detail about the rats he saw in the sewers of Milan that were the size of Maine Coon cats. Ugh.
I've heard - semi-jokingly - that syphilis was originally a disease of sheep.
Was back at the dentist today. For my planing and scaling. Before hand I took a lorazapam and during I blasted my iPod. Now that it is over, I can very honestly say it was much, much, much easier than I expected. I was in and out in an hour. My mouth doesn't hurt. And the hygenist complimented me on the progress I have made over the last week in improving my gum health.
I put in extra time yesterday, working 12 hours, and got up early today to get in 6 hours before the appointment so I could take the afternoon off, guilt free - figuing I'd be in misery. Now I have the afternoon off and I feel just dandy.
Glad to hear it, Suzi!
I just got the worst apartment ad from a broker -- the place doesn't look good, there are only two pictures, it's above my price range, and the description of the location is geographically impossible. I don't feel that bad that I keep forgetting to send her my phone number now.
Please stand by for a demonstration of relevancy.
Ha!
Those fall pictures are glorious!
I'm a little peeved--it's prime leaf-peeping time, and we have a dismal forecast for the next week and a half. Want sun! Shush. I knew what I was getting when we moved here. Doesn't mean I can't complain once in a while when the weather doesn't cater to my whim.
Now I have the afternoon off and I feel just dandy.
Score! What are you going to do?

Yeah, The Bloggess pretty much rules. Time for a new tag, perhaps...
I didn't find the purse thing disturbing. It just looked vaguely Scottish.
Gronk. I'd meara, but I'm very tired after a weekend with Aged Relatives in the motherland.
ita !, thoughts for your mother.
Back in June, we hired a guy. It didn't work out, and we let him go at the end of July.
Today we found out he died a week and a half ago. He was 35. What the fuck.
Smonster, most likely a nap since I have been sleeping like crap. Dreading the dentist is bad for getting good sleep.
