Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

No, probably not.

Christ. Well, I've got a fresh pack of smokes, a charged iPod, and four bars less than a block away, so I have a backup plan in case Monday decides it's fighting a cage match for possession of Tuesday.

EXACTLY!! I may have to run out and get QTips RIGHT NOW!!

I keep a small container in my desk. I periodically get some moistness in my ears, and I have to get it out RIGHT THEN. I also keep them next to my bed because it sometimes happens when I sleep and if I wake up, I can't get back to sleep until I clean it out. t /ear wax issues

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Gah. Now Playing: Time Machine. That song takes me back. I forgot how much I loved it.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Ouch, katefate. Sorry about the gallstones.

The hospital I work at has a Gallstone Gallery on the 5th floor (in the lab wing, not anyplace where patients would ever, ever go). The variety (little balls! little 8-sided dice! little dodecahedrons!) is both sickening and fascinating.

Also, I have a weird irrational desire to make the Gallstone Gallery a tour item on the F2F, especially (this is the very irrational part) if tommyrot comes. I don't know why. I'm very ashamed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Why me?

Although I would be into it. I'd probably take pictures and post them....

Yeah, I'm gonna be at the F2F. I'll probably have to... ( shudder ) fly there....

Gallstone Gallery

This reminds me that I still have the International Museum of Surgical Science on my Places to Go in Chicago list. I've heard it's a fun, if slightly gory, museum to check out.

Punishingly Intricate

Congrats, ita!!! That's so freaking awesome!

Condolences to quester and Jars. My great-aunt died yesterday morning. She was 95 and had been pretty sick for the last month or so, so it wasn't unexpected. But it's still hard. She was a pretty great lady--tough, funny, and generous. She lived down in the Rio Grande valley and I don't think I'll make it to the funeral this weekend but I'm hoping maybe to take a trip down there sometime this year to say goodbye somehow.

In total other news, I've watched Grey's Anatomy sporadically and enjoyed the ep last night but I didn't understand at all why Meredith would be so (what was the emotion even?) annoyed/shocked/whatever that the Chief was visiting her mother.

Why shouldn't he?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

lisah, so sorry about your great aunt.

Also, I thought it was because she noticed the handholding and air of intimacy, and was suspicious.

Oh, that looks like fun too.
