I like Barbara Hambly. I should read that book.
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hey, ita, did you see this about non-invasive brain nerve stimulation for migraine? [link] Apparently it helped....some people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, that looks like the placement of the neurostim the beauty blog lady had. And it made me wonder--when my pain doc was saying they were testing stimulation for treating migraine--was that what he was talking about? Because that's not what he's planning on inserting. That would be a whole second setup. Misleading.
But curious.

Dude, my job. It can be fascinating, but I do get the weirdest phone calls.
Sigh.

If nothing else, it looks like that thing isn't inserted? And has no side effects? In short, it apparently worked for like 20 people, but still.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Matilda has the day off (Lunar New Year) so we've already made a long excursion down to 9th and Irving and GG Park. Stopped by Le Video to drop off The Inbetweeners Movie and picked up several VHS tapes of Stingray (a Gerry Anderson show like Thunderbirds with the puppets. Except underwater).
Now we're home eating Girl Scout cookies and finishing her Valentine Cards for school.
I'm officially to the bored part of the not-school-day.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's Monday...meh. (Nothing in particular, just a general meh feeling)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Do you want to bring her by here in an hour? We've got dumplings and king cake and coloring books, and she can putter around happily and quietly and you can get a break.

This is the first time I've driven (or gotten away from my own street) since Friday -- and I have to say, the streets are as bad as I've ever seen -- four foot tall piles of snow in parking spaces piled up by the plows. And Somerville "only" got like 27 inches, there are places that got in excess of 37 in Connecticut.
