My mother had some kind of reaction to the chemotherapy and has been incoherent for the last sevveral days, and had trouble breathing Wednesday night and has been moved to the ICU. Otherwise, nothing new to report. So It thought I'd focus instead on something related to her, but not as somber ( Read more... )

After verifying that the computer was working after The Ferocious Microsoft Incident, I spilled ice tea all over it. I know some got in the vents, because I turned it upside down to shake liquid out. Only a little drained out, so maybe it wasn't much, but I have it unplugged and upside down right now. Later, if we have some alcohol, I'll think ( Read more... )

Purchased yesterday: Nook Tablet. There are serious flaws in the device, but the microSD slot was too good to pass up. And anyways, it does what I need it to do.

Or will. Maybe. Don't have wi-fi here, so I can't register it yet. That's one of the serious flaws: it's deliberately crippled until you give Barnes & Noble a ( Read more... )

Dentistry: done. Just got to keep Teh Socket clean while it heals more.

Filler Article: published, in Fight On! #11. It really *is* filler; they felt they were short on material about magic in this issue and called for last-minute submissions. I haven't actually read Fight On! before, but now I have a comp PDF to read ( Read more... )

Tooth is extracted, but I still have some lumpy stuff under my jaw, so I'm going through a second round of anti-biotics. Which reminds me: gotta go buy some pro-biotics.
