Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No you don't, Jen. You feel awesome! And fresh-smelling! And RICH! I mean, right?

Yes. But want all that AND to smoke. Is it so much to ask??? Yeah, I know.

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

Christ. I wanted to watch 50/50. I guess that's off the books for now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

ita !, I hope one mass means much easier to remove and recover from for her and your whole family. Can you look to do a month-long car rental so you can deal with a new car later? You really are being asked to deal with so much and a reprieve might help.

Turns out I didn't know who Hugh Laurie was when I first started watching Spooks.

Spooks has me hitting imdb a lot. Or pausing to snicker "oooooooh, I know who they also play." for the actors where I don't need imdb.

No.

Not now.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Word back from the colonoscopy is that there's just one mass. They're going to resect next week, and then they'll find out if it's malignant and if she'll need chemo, etc.

My MiL had that exact thing a couple of years ago. Her mass turned out to be benign and the resect was not as traumatic as it sounds. She was back to her old chipper self in no time.

Turns out I didn't know who Hugh Laurie was when I first started watching Spooks.

That's unpossible!

The length of my Hugh Laurie crush is right up there with the length of my Gary Oldman crush, and both of them were still in their 20s when said crushage began.

If you look in the old Spoiler thread archives, you can see me being almost tempted to watch some new medical show Scrappy was mentioning was going to start up, despite my medical show hate-on, just because of Hugh Laurie.

Note for posterity: I didn't, in fact, start watching House. My love for Hugh Laurie does not outweigh my hatred for medical dramas. It was, however, a near thing.

(Apparently, I may have a type for guys, and that type is slightly weird looking Englishmen.)

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Continued ~ma, ita. I'm glad it's just one mass.

Fuuuuuck. I just fell getting out of the hot tub here in the house on top of a mountain in the middle of bloody nowhere, France (make no mistake, awesome middle of bloody nowhere) on a Friday night, hitting my head on the rocks, and I have a big lump on the back of my head, which is bleeding. I'm nauseated, massive headache (naturally), the works. But after icing it for a while, the swelling has gone way down, the bleeding has almost stopped, and I'm almost sure I'm not going to vomit. I've taken my seizure meds, and as a veteran of several concussions, I've felt way worse in the past. I'm lucid (obviously) and aside from feeling like crap and wanting to cry, I don't think I need to make my friends take me down the mountain and into rural France in search of a hospital on a Friday night.

...right?

Yeah, it's weird, but I really think my first exposure to Hugh Laurie was House, which I didn't watch, but people were talking about how great he was in general, and, well, there you go. I have strange gaps in my development.
