It's been raining off and on all day. Not fifteen minutes ago the sun came out and almost the entire sky was clear...but now it's raining again. Silly weather ( Read more... )

A small but significant piece of good news: I seem to have finally found a doctor who agrees that my frequent (over the past week, nearly constant) episodes of ventricular bigeminy, despite not being symptomatic of severe heart disease, are still unpleasant enough that I shouldn't have to fricking put up with them. I now get to take beta-blockers ( Read more... )

I'm a little saner now. The phone's finally working again and I've made good use of it; I've still got work piling up that I'm in no condition to do, as I'm still not getting decent sleep and I'm now having problems with arrhythmia on top of that, but at the moment I seem to be done panicking about it, or at least to be in a momentarily quiet ( Read more... )

I've got work piling up on me, I'm feeling too lousy physically to get it done, my emotional state is fragile as all hell and has already taken some hard knocks, I've got a half-dozen calls I've got to make...

and the bloody phone's gone dead.

A friend of mine is in search of published research results suggesting a biological basis for homosexuality, and so far hasn't had much luck finding them amidst all the opinion articles and whatnot. Does anyone happen to know where some reasonably hard facts can be found?

capnkjb witnessed an interesting marriage proposal the other day. Apparently I'm not the only one who's lately come to associate dating inextricably with Boggle.

I've just remembered something rather amusing in the midst of my lack of productivity. Yesterday some guy from the Tribune, I think, came to photograph our choir rehearsal (he arrived just as we'd finished and so we had to break the music out again so he could catch us singing.) Afterward he got our names, presumably so he could label the picture ( Read more... )

Ordinarily I'd be on my way to the Plough right about now, but after spending the day at home I don't feel much like shoving myself out the door somehow. The rain probably doesn't help; not only is it cold and wet outside, but my energy level is way down. Besides, if I stay home I might actually get a little more work done, and I might actually ( Read more... )

I had a rather odd dream last night that I wouldn't have remembered if some guy hadn't gotten on the bus with a skateboard earlier this afternoon. I tried skateboarding maybe once when I was a kid, and found it kind of scary, and never really tried it again. I still find the idea kind of scary as I don't seem to have terribly good balance. But ( Read more... )
