Also, the Kansas City kicker is named "Succop", pronounced "suck up." Heh. Heh heh heh.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Heh. My facebook feed just erupted in "CHIEFS!!" Yes, this is how I follow sports.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I type ill, it gives me "I'll" as a choice; same with there, they're and their.
Giving you a choice isn't the same thing as learning. Current iterations don't adapt to an individual user's swyping tics. When I put in "there" it's definitely not the same pattern as "they're". Swype doesn't really care too much, and is going to give me the exact same choice the 100th time as it did the 1st, even if I always choose "there" for that particular drag of the fingers.
I have to learn what *it* thinks is the right way to enter there, not vice versa. Not cool, computer, not cool.
However, I'm faster at it than my sister is at tapping, and my swyping is certainly faster than my tapping, so I'm fairly happy with it. But learning's the first thing I'd like to see improved.

So, the kidney stone passed, I think, yesterday. I refuse to pee through a tea strainer.
I think, though, that I must have kidney stones all the time. The pain stopped before I had the IV toradol and stayed gone. I had a CT scan also after the toradol which is when they told me I had a kidney stone, where it was and its size. I haven't had pain since the IV.
Anyway, it's been a stay at home today after yesterday at soccer day. Oh not quite stay at home. I went to Kiehl's because I had a 20% off coupon.

Kat,
they say that 80% (or something like that) of us have gall stones all the time, so I wouldn't be surprised if you have stones hanging out in the kidneys all the time too.

I wouldn't be surprised. Though the size was sort of larger. I am worried that I will be in complete and undeniable pain again in the next day or two, which I hope not.

Aw.
Current iterations don't adapt to an individual user's swyping tics.Is that a change? Because I old swear it did a better job on my old phone than my current.

Because books.
Aw, Kat. I'm sorry about the kidney stone, but glad it's gone.
Which baby panda was this? Was it at the National Zoo?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Anyone else watching the Emmy arrivals? I'm only here for Cumberbatch.
