Dead batteries in the remote. Blergh.
But, Nailistas, Dutch 'Ya Just Love OPI? [link] is pretty. Dusky grape bombed with gold microglitter. I need to own this one. Burrell, it looks good on us.

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

Building alarm system has been blaring for the entire 8 hours since I got home from work. Obviously, it does not actually alert anyone who's supposed to respond to it, and has a habit of false alarms on weekends when building management is out of contact. It can only be shut off by someone with a key, which the fire department doen't have.
A wooden axe handle would insulate against electric current if someone were to chop through a big cable inside a protective metal tube, right?

Ugh. Awake. And Time Warner fucked up and disconnected our cable, phone and Internet a week early. Thanks?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So, I am not claustrophobic. At least I never considered myself to be UNTIL I had an MRI. It took ever fiber of my self-restraint, not to scream to get me the fuck out of there. I was pissed that I didn't have a valium or something ahead of time.
On top of it, I wasn't supposed to have eaten for X hours before the MRI, and my MRI was delayed by hours because of an emergency (fine). But it was so long I was waiting that I nearly passed out after the test and had to go to the hospital cafeteria and eat something and sit down for 1 hour in order to be able to drive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so glad that's only happened a couple of times in the 2.5 years I've lived here, because it's the same thing -- you can't get in touch with anyone and it's a whole clusterfuck. My building is barely managed.
I want all of those OPI colors, weirdly. Maybe I'll get a mani in addition to a pedi today, because I've been wishing I had grey polish for my hands, but I don't. Or maybe I'll just buy a bottle!

I'm glad your moms CAT scan looked good, ita,
I'm home with nothing much on the agenda for the weekend. But the weather looks nice and I'm thinking biking or a long walk would be good.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I think in 8 hours I'd have found out where the building manager lived and been banging on his door.
I am slightly claustrophobic but it mostly gets me when crowds of people block all my escape routes. I don't know how I'd do in an MRI.
It seems I'll be spending my morning with a whole bunch of theatre critics and Simon Callow. Huh.
