Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Aw!

I just noticed on tv that Danny Strong wrote Lee Daniels' The Butler. He really is doing well, huh? (I mean, the movie is whatever, but it's a Feature Film!)

Because books.

He's also writing the two Mockingjay movies, parts 1 and 2.

Oh, word? I guess those are about politics, huh?

Because books.

I was thinking that, too. It was the most political out of the three books.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I am *so* over this foot. I *will* be driving by tomorrow afternoon. I doubt I'll be happy about it.

I think the chronic migraine means some things hurt more, some hurt less (like cuts--enh, whatever, once the swelling goes down). Whatever part of the foot thing is causing pain (inflammation) I wonder if I'm increasingly susceptible to whining about it.

Hey beer aficionados, would you recommend Amstel Light or Stella Artois?

No.

Heh. Under ordinary circumstances I'd opt for Guinness Extra Stout instead, but those were the low carb options I was aware of at the corner pub. Shouting kids in the street made me reconsider going to open mike comedy night though; I don't want to be trapped in a bar with them.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

When I hurt my foot I managed to drive myself to the hospital using my left foot. I can't testify as to how well I drove since I was probably in shock, but I got there. Good thing it was an automatic.

-t, that's a good story.

I took my dad to an appointment and then out for beer and chicken pot pie at a local pub. So nice: quiet, cozy bar with soccer on the televisions and really good beer on tap.

And now I really should bake some cookies but I'm tempted to just go crash instead.

I'm not driving from West LA to Pasadena with my left foot. And back.

Also, if I can drive to the ER (and expect to drive back) I don't need to go.
