Well, I'm alive. . .
Which is a good thing. I suffered a massive GI bleed on Tuesday evening due to (they think) diverticulitis. I lost, as one ICU nurse put it, "about a half a person's worth of blood." Then spent the next 48 hours getting that blood put back in. For a while it was a race between pumping blood in faster than it leaked out. Then they were able to ( Read more... ) -

Damn, 16 episodes in and Tom FINALLY got interesting. That's an impressive display of restraint in writing and character development. Guess I'm going to have to get some icons now. -
Went ammo shopping for my birthday. . .
as I seem to have developed a 200 round a week shooting habit. I'm still reasonably certain that cocaine addiction would be both more destructive and self-destructive (and less fun!), but I'm beginning to wonder if it wouldn't be cheaper.

Making everyone EXITING the Gun & Knife show go through a metal detector. Except possibly to amuse the door security, who were making bets on whether anyone WASN'T going to set the thing off. -
13 months after purchasing my "new" car. . .
I finally have registration and a license plate! \o/ A little bit over the 60 days the law allows, but hey. *sigh* For a licensed attorney who has worked for or directly against the Federal government my entire legal career, I'm sort of appallingly bad at dealing with bureaucracy. Still, it's done ( Read more... ) -
Soon can get things that go bang-bang!
Passed the classroom portion of the NC Carry Concealed Handgun class today. 8 hours of instruction followed by 10 minutes of test - whee ( Read more... ) -
Pardon me while I squee about Evenescence a bit. . .

I feel a playlist coming on. . .
Listening to Christina Perri's new single on the radio ("A Thousand Years," from those sparkly vampire movies, for those who haven't heard it yet), and I feel like a playlist of songs about immortality and reincarnation (and, yes, vampires). So far ( Read more... )
