I'm one of those killjoys that foils practical jokes when possible, cruel humor is not on my list of likes.

So not popular the kinds of fashion blogs that are just some random chick taking pictures of herself wearing clothes?

Those I don't get. Commentary, totally. That can cover a wide range of looks and bodies. I'm trying to imagine if I'd follow someone whose output was, say >80% of what they're wearing and what they had to say about what they're wearing and...I guess, if maybe I wanted around half of what they had. Otherwise it would be fairly boring.

At the Westwood ER this morning I asked the doctor if she'd call my neuro to tell him my status. She said no, I could tell him tomorrow. I explained that I wanted him to know today, in case there was any way he could help me today, so I wouldn't have to miss work tomorrow, and be in pain all that time. Nope, she said. She'd only do it if it was acute, and I wasn't acute, so she wasn't going to tell him.

What bothers me is when they transition from "I do not feel this is the proper way to treat migraines" (fair, but I disagree that it's a useful stance, since none of them have a better way to treat migraines) to "I don't think this is worth paying attention to." And, so far, all of the doctors or nurses who start out with the former have ended up at the latter within one conversation. It would be refreshingly honest if they started out there, so I'd know to just leave right away, since they weren't going to give their fair attempt to help me, because they don't really think I have a problem. So fucking exhausting.

So sorry you have to put up with all this crap, ita !.

ION,

Chelsea Swank's Beautiful Star Wars Rings

So if two people are in a relationship, how do they decide who wears the "I love you" ring and who wears the "I know" ring?

ita - I continue to boogle at the care you receive. I don't understand.

I got my lease renewal notice today - which I have been sweating based on the recent flood and bed bug issue - and my rent is only going up $60 a month. Not great, but do-able. The housing market doesn't give me the leverage to negotiate as I have in the past.

The only thing left outstanding, which I'm not going to push, is the remodeling issue. When I talked with the property manager about a week ago she said that all unremodeled units would be remodeled during 2013. That would require us either moving to a different unit or moving out for 2 weeks while they did ours. With signing the lease, I guess we defer dealing with that for another year.

Suzi, check your lease to make sure that there is wording to that effect. There may be a clause that forces you to move out during remodeling, and all they would need to do is prorate your rent for that time.

how do they decide who wears the "I love you" ring and who wears the "I know" ring?

Thought 1: You know. You definitely know. Or you know you will never agree.

Thought 2: She already made them the same genders as in the movie if you follow traditional ring styling. So that gives some people a place to start.

I'm reading some posts on tumblr talking about being fans of sub!character1 or sub!character2, and I've never heard this before--top and bottom, sure, but not sub. I am very curious to know if they're conflating the two dichotomies or not, but since I don't understand being a fan of a character's sexual position, it might just be gibberish to me from guggle to zatch.

OMG, WHY DOES PERSPECTIVE HATE ME????

So we have to be at the hospital tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM for Hubby's surgery. I guess he has an early table, which is good, we should have a rested surgeon. God, so much for the glamorous world of the cardiac surgeon.

But at least this one will be done and he will hopefully feel better.

Do I want to watch the series finale of Fringe? It's on my DVR, but I keep thinking I'm going to be disappointed in it.

I was very satisfied by it, Lee. YFMV.

God, putting up curtains in my bedroom turned out to be a fiasco. But at least it's the light blocking ones that sort of work with my atypically sized window frame and the sheers that I can't even hang up.

You guys, I'm in the future! Posting from my phone! Ok, so it doesn't work as a phone yet, but it totally works with WiFi. Sweet

So I just realized I might have to shovel in the morning, which is a huge bummer.
