You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

So imagine my pleasure when I popped it in and there's a short flourish of music and I hear, "The Restaurant at the End of the Universe by Douglas Adams. As read by Martin Freeman."

Oooh, nice, I wonder if he does all of them! That would make a fun audiobook series to do.

My stepfather's Aunt Elaine is a nun. Who taught grammar for about forty years. Interpersonally, she was as fun as that sounds, but I understand she did do some interesting Marian research and stuff that would be cool to talk about.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I have an appointment this afternoon with my hemotologist. He just called and said I could come in earlier and he would make sure I got some iron today. I knew my numbers were low, but I'm guessing they are scary low. I'm trying to finish up some work before I head out.

I guess the point of sharing is that despite all the crazyness of the health care system, I have a doc going out of his way to help me. Tis appreciated.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That is good to hear, Suzi. I hope the iron helps!

In random news, I get emails from OK Cupid when I have a message on there, but they don't include the full message. The one I just got opens:

Hi, I'm a married Boston lawyer, early 60's. Are you open to being the friend and lover of an older...

Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and say no.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

~ma to you, lisah. And iron~ma to you, Suzi. I'm glad you have a doctor who looks out for you.

Hey all. I'm still pregnant, in case you were wondering.

Hi, I'm a married Boston lawyer, early 60's. Are you open to being the friend and lover of an older...

But what if it continues as: ...man's single, hot, and highly successful son ?

That would change everything! FTR, I am not automatically opposed to being the friend and lover of an older lawyer, but the married bit kind of puts me off. To say the least.
