I'm supposed to get a call from a nurse there to 'discuss options' so we'll see. I'd almost volunteer for a gastric feeding tube at this point, better a few gaggy moments that minutes and minutes of trying to get foulness down.
The money was too good. I got stupid.

Theo,
I understand. I would appreciate you reporting back. I have colon cancer that potentially runs in my family (my grandmother had a bad run of it), and I should have another but I've been avoiding the medical drinking abuse.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
This made me laugh a lot.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
So my dad came to visit me at my office yesterday, and while he was here he met my boss, a Southern gentleman in or around his 60s. Today my boss walks by my cubicle and says to me, in passing, "Your daddy's kind of cute!"
That... is really not what I was expecting to hear him say!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay--need to make two calls. One to pain doc to reschedule next week's procedure in favour of an admission I don't have the details of yet, and one to GP to schedule an appointment to order a buttscope.
I'm critiquing a paper by my sister, and I'm trying to work out how not to state something as even a continuum between two diametric points because I think it is better framed as a two dimensional metaphor but I don't know how to express that succinctly. It's not that there's a spectrum of understanding of medicine that runs from folk medicine to standard Western science, but rather they are all points on a plane, but...
How do you say that? Pls help sister? She's trying to save lives.
Under Ambien last night I suggested to Colin we cosplay at SDCC. To his credit, he did entertain the idea, just poitned out that Comicon would kill me. Fair enough, but I'd leave a good-looking corpse. Also, I'm not going to SDCC! That's been sold out for yonks.

Because books.
perhaps this belongs in white font, but I want to know how soon into the movie Sean Bean's character dies
Today has sucked here, and this made me snort out loud. Thank you for that.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Random hivemind question--do you know what the term "burner phone" means? I used it in an email conversation with an attorney earlier, and she had never heard it before.
I think I watch too much cop TV.
