Big stop just to renew your license to companion. Can I use companion as a verb?

He also groans like an old man in his sleep or when he's settling.

Oh my. The old man noises. They are legendary around here.

Because books.

The funny thing is, bonny, he's just two.

Oh yes, "old man" refers only to the quality of the sound, not the age of the maker. Bboy started with the grumbling relaxation years ago.

It just makes him sound like a cranky geezer.

I have no idea what that noise actually means. It doesn't sound like pain, or creakiness.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Kato doesn't really do the old-man grumble thing, but he has a world-weary beleaguered sigh that would put any drama queen teenager to shame. It is hilarious. No one knows Kato's pain! It is SO HARD to be Kato! Goofy dog.

Anyway, we can work something out over email.

Sounds good!

How's your head?

Fine. Went to the doctor on Monday, and she put me on a week-long course of oral antibiotics, just to be safe, but it's healing well.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Okay, so I watched the pilot eps of the two new fairy tale series:

"Once Upon a Time" on ABC and "Grimm" on NBC.

OUAT is decent and I think I will commit to the first 4 eps to see how it shakes out. It is entertaining and the production values (at least for the pilot) are pretty good, so we will see.

Grimm - not very good. At all. Unfortunately, I would put this in the category of "pretty terrible." The acting was bad, the direction was poor, and the writing - the tone shifted in the middle of the show. I'm not sure what happened with this pilot (was it network notes that fucked it up?)

It felt more like a bad SyFy movie than a viable series. I can't imagine anyone will watch this show past the pilot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm starting to feel bad for NBC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thing is, len, I just want silence. But luckily he's quietened down, mostly. I feel bad for him, because he's obviously miserable, but he's barely able to fend for himself here. You can't depend on nurse response in the emergency room if you're not a high risk patient. And as far as I could tell, he had a fall with no unconsciousness. So, low on their list.

Okay, they keep asking me questions about my port that I can't answer. The ratio of saline to heparin? It's so much to keep track of. And the questions come in one at a time, so every week there's something new I don't know.
