Another attack; Logan still might not work out; Win7 still might not work out

[grrgoyl]

Well, no sooner was I going to report how well I've been doing with my new diet (lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks, even), when last night I had another attack just as bad as, and certainly lasting longer than, the one that landed me in the ER. Turns out Vicodin has almost no effect on me, so I might as well sell these useless pills for some profit

Where the Wild Things Are is indeed a 48 page book, but that's slightly misleading. Far better would be to call it an "18 illustrations" book, which reveals it's length a little more, I think. Even better, might be to call it a 10-line book.

Typically, Roxana is completely uninterested in it. Might have to start her with In The Night Kitchen instead (which I always preferred more).

In the far reaches of my memory I guess it was more like a 6-page book. The Night Kitchen creeped me out -- a) it was my first glimpse of full frontal male nudity and b) when he falls into the dough (implying he'll be cooked and eaten) I think it gave me nightmares.

Man, that sucks about that attacking... Gall Bladder vs. You, You vs. Medical Bills, KittenMitten vs. Logan, Microsoft vs. anything not specifically Microsoft. I'm glad you got to have a couple of good movie experiences at least. I wasn't going to see either of those (didn't like the WTWTA book, only the drawings - and... stupid looking) but now I will!

Maybe I can knit you a Max onesy?

Yes, my life is full of conflict and strife! Pity me! Send me money! (j/k) Yes, a Max onesy might make my life more bearable *sniff*

Really? Well, if I got just one more person to line Jim Cameron's pockets at the box office, my work here is done! (no, seriously, it is a really good movie, if you don't mind massively overdone archetypes and predictable endings)

The solution seems clear enough to me. You need to quit your job and get pregnant, then have the surgery. Surely the state will pay for it then.

And lock the cats out on the balcony until they forget they hate each other.

My immediate reaction upon seeing the previews was "No way, nuh-uh, never. Not gonna happen". I've held firm on that opinion despite all of the great reviews I've seen because I can't stand video-game plots (love that description!) and preachy hippie morals-of-the-story. However, if it really is as pretty as you say, I might have to check it out just for that. I do have two questions: 1.) Watching the previews, it occurs to me to wonder howtf the love story can possibly have a happy conclusion. He can't stay within his avatar forever, right? 2.) One complaint I've heard is that there was no reason whatsoever for the movie to be shown in 3D. True/false?

Ha! You're right. I'm not too self-righteously pissed off yet. That was only the Medicaid application. However you're right -- there doesn't seem to be any help for those of us who haven't made disastrous choices in our lives but are still just struggling to keep above water

My mom is overfond of telling the story of how, when my brother and I were very young and she was very single, she couldn't get government assistance because she was making just above minimum wage and that, apparently, was too much.

You're not going to get that LOLcats picture. I have a time-proven theory that all cats are homosexual. Or, at least, male cats only cuddle with male cats and female only with female. Picture evidence to come.

I've made a date to see the movie next weekend with work friends, because my default going-to-the-movies friend is angry with me.

You can tell your mom the system hasn't changed much then. As of today I still haven't heard from anyone who can help me. Like I said, if you aren't living in a box with five infants and a limb missing, you can easily take on $7000 of debt so quit your bitching.

I believe your theory, as it also seems to apply to ferrets. Male ferrets (even strange ones) play together affectionately and sleep together without batting an eye. Introduce a female to the mix and you've got trouble (females oddly seem more aggressive and make the males cry).

Really?? This made my day. Unless of course you hate it. Again, let me express the wish that I could be your default movie friend. It would be awesome.

One movie you should avoid at all costs is "Legion." Details to follow.
