Maybe? Next time I get scheduled down there I'll let you know as early as I can. It all sems pretty random tightnow, but theres probably a pattern to it. Because it's out of my area the company provides a ride there and back, so I'd have to figure something out to get hanging out time, but that can probably be done.

Woohoo I am home! And looking at 5 days off, which I can sure use. Now to eat dinner and maybe take a hot bath and sleep as long as possible...

And I have no idea what to tell the barber when I next go in.

"Could you shave a circle around that to make a kind of target effect?"

I HAVE A FUCKING HOLE IN MY HEAD.

There's no way that's not going to weird me out. Problem is, every time I check if it's still there--it's really tender and spikes a headache.

But how can you not check if the hole is still in your head?

Dawn is on Criminal Minds, all dark-haired and womanly. Yoinks.

Wait--I thought that no one knew what In Your Eyes was about. Huh. Well, You're So Vain is still totally about Beatty.

Technically it's more like a hole in your hair. It's not like random four year olds can poke a finger into your brain-stem.

Might help the whole "Implanting shit in your brain" plan, though!

We're just looking at the upside for you, ita!

You're practically pre-trepanned.

meara, yay for increasingly good vision and easy surgery! I am now interested in doing this myself. My mom had it done for cataracts and was amazed afterward that she didn't even need glasses. My vision might be too bad, though. What's the actual name of the surgery so I can google it?

ita !, I must thank you for recommending True Lemon. I'm just using it to get myself to stop drinking soda, and it's working, so, thanks.

No, it's not a hole in my hair. My hair was 2mm long. It's a 1/4 inch tender dent in the back of one side of my skull. It has nothing to do with my hair, other than work out how to get the to, I dunno. Leaving it full won't even things out, not at the lengths I wear my hair.

There is a simple explanation, I'm sure, for why it feels like bone (with some muscle over) all around it, and *in* it. I can't work out how this could be a swelling if everything's hard. Not scar hard, bone hard.

Anyway--I'll leave it in the hands of my doctor, and he'll touch it, and I'll want to throw up again. It's a great nausea button. Everyone should get one installed.

It's weird how easy it was to just stop drinking the other stuff--do you have a carbonator? Because that's transparent. I want to carry one in my bag next to my tea kit. I'll be serving your beverages today--would you like hot or cold, mmm?

This is kind of brilliant: [link]

Yes, it was astonishing to see Dawnie all grown up but not so much to see her playing crazy - she seems to do that now. Also - sad about the non-badassitute of Beth Riesgraf's character and her death. Poor Spencer.
