Happy birthday, chickenhat!

Btw, head over to The Secret Frequency for the latest in my political ranting...

Yes, efbq was in the hospital briefly last night. A few somewhat scary moments, and some on-the-fly transportation arrangements, but in the end, the diagnosis was a urinary tract infection, for which she's received some antibiotics and specialized pain medication (which we couldn't get last night, as all the pharmacies were closed, so it was kind of a ( Read more... )

I just saw Armageddon on TV. That movie was bad. I mean bad bad, terribly bad, mind-numbingly, jaw-droppingly bad. It was so bad, it was bad. I don't like Bruce Willis in anything, but this was all the reasons why wrapped up in a single performance.

The county is under a flood watch, and I would suspect that all the surrounding ( Read more... )

(A Red Sox-Rockies World Series is, if anything, worse, and this whole thing should convince sportswriters, if they had a lick of sense, to get rid of the wildcard once and for all - which is to say, they will continue to trumpet the wildcard as if it was baseball's saving grace, and will keep ( Read more... )

A crazy day. The morning and afternoon, for I woke at both times, opened with a collision within my calendar: Kid-2 had an audition, but I had to get to papertigers and debboamerik's place to help them move. Got there late and pitched in as best I could with my comforting male presence and mighty moose muscles. Embarrassingly, I was so pooped by the end of it that I ( Read more... )
