I just signed up for Zipcar last week. They only have 2 general locations here in LA (USC and UCLA), neither of which are near me. However, renting a car is so expensive I'd rather have the money be an investment in a future than just one rental. I'm antsy because I need the car for a specific set of dates and I can't even see if it's already reserved until I get that damned card. They're slow sending it.

I'm a member, do you want me to check?

ETA: Also, I suppose in theory I could reserve and then cancel the reservation freeing up the car for you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yeah, it looks like navigation things available on most of the cars that I'm looking at just have 2D graphics, not 3D.

Just to put my comment from Bitches into context, I was drunk and super sad last night and was wishing that I didn't have anyone to be accountable to so that I could indulge myself to the extent I wanted to.

In the morning (as always) I realize how grateful I am to have that tether to keep me from falling off the edge. I could, so easily...

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

megan, that would be great! I'm looking to rent one of the Scions parked out in the USC area from Aug 12 - 15.

Jilli!! What is a good absinthe bar here in Seattle? A friend is in town and wants to go and I said I had a source!

There's the Scion xB and the xD. The difference seems to be that the xD is a hatchback and looks a bit smaller. They all have iPod adapters and are $66-72 a day so you'd be looking at @$300 for the full 4 days.

Here are the xB locations if you have a preference:
29th near Hoover (0.07 mi)
W Adams/Portland St (0.31 mi)
Harris Residence Hall (HRH) (0.73 mi)
USC Parking Structure 2 (0.92 mi)
USC Parking Lot 21

The xD is at: USC Parking Lot 32

But then I fixed it! With water.

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

Can I get a paranoia check?

As I was whining on Thursday, I had to have a root canal that involved taking off the old cracked crown, cleaning up/redoing the root canal that had already been done, and putting on a temp crown. It was not pleasant, and ended up taking just about 4 hours.

I'm not really in much pain at this point, and my gums don't look red, but that side of my face is now tingling and tight in an odd way that I don't remember from the last root canal. I also feel like I am running a slight fever, and am also just totally run down.

Given that I already have a mammogram scheduled this afternoon in the same building as the urgent care, how unreasonable would it be for me to go to urgent care today, even though I am still mostly convinced/hoping this is normal post op stuff?

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

If you have any kind of fever, I'd say go into urgent care and get an antibiotic. The mouth is filled with nasty bacteria, so some kind of infection is relatively common. You could also see if your dentist would call in a prescription.
