There are two games, flea:

1. Noon EDT tomorrow is the third-place game between France and Sweden. I'm not sure if ESPN streams it, but they do have this odd "game-cast" thing with a streaming chat.

2. 3 PM EDT Sunday is the championship game between US & Japan.

The curious diazapam (task as needed for muscle spasms)

That makes a kind of sense, but I would think a muscle relaxer like the awesome Flexiril would be better.

and more percoset.

I know I'm nagging, but...take it regularly so you stay ahead of the pain. If it makes you loopy and you need to work, take half, or extend the dosing interval by an hour or 2. But take it regularly. Pain is not your friend.

Relatedly, I have learned 2 things about tramadol (which, yes, was the dalmatian's Rx): (1) it kicked the shit out of my 3-day headache; and (2) I really should have taken only half. Holy shit, it knocked me on my ASS and I'm *still* groggy and fuzzy today.

No headache, though. Unless I just can't feel ANYTHING.

UNrelatedly, I have a spinach/pesto lasagna with sundried tomatoes in the crockpot, and it smells SO GOOD I MUST EAT IT ALL NOW.

I think it's appropriate to task your diazapam with helping with your muscle spasms.

I take tramadol on a regular basis. It's pretty good, but when I first started I could only take half a pill unless I wanted to fall asleep.

And slans have golden .. tendrils? something like that ... in their hair. So - when we evolve to the next stage, can we all get golden streaks in our hair? nifty

I am sad that the Mongolian pork from last night's delivery is almost done. Maybe I should drive up the the Bulgarian place and get takeaway. No on will ever do Bulgarian with me. It's damned tasty food.

Or I could go, and sit there and read! A book!

That's kind of scary.

I refuse to evolve to the next stage unless I get fangs and pyrokinesis. I have a list of things that I need to cause to burst into flames with the power of my mind.

Went to a talk on climate change denialism by Eugenie Scott. She's the coolest person in the building. I will never be that cool/smart. Later, I will attend Penn and Teller's Rock n' Roll, Doughnuts, and Bacon party. I will return with a full report. And possibly drunk.

Steph, my gut is so much better, which is due in great part to your advice.

Jilli, I got the card for the woman who does all the steampunk jewelry: [link]

Timelies all!

I first read about Dawkins' GenderFail on Shakesville, so it's interesting hearing Buffistas' perspective. (Of course, Dawkins would consider me delusional and/or stupid because I'm not an atheist. :shrug:)

Oooh, nice!

I went to Trader Joe's. It's opening day. Lines? Out to MARS.

I estimate that fire code was violated -- there must have been 500 people there. Seriously.

I could barely LOOK at products, people were just standing around chatting, like it was a cocktail party, and I refused to stand in line for an hour.
