It looks like all my tickets are booked for this summer except the ones that are being take care of by Launch Pad. Whew!
@kimchiicecream owchie! Yeah, that sounds hard.
@kimchiicecream Yeah, I hear you. I’m busy as hell too.
Maybe I have kicked my cold into submission after all? Or maybe the endorphins are speaking.
First day back in 2 weeks, but I feel energized.
Yay, hit the gym again. 1.75 hours. That’s it. Bike, weights, normal routine PLUS crunches and leg lifts. Gonna hurt tomorrow!
@CreateSean Though I will wait a day before picking up my saxophone again… :p
@CreateSean the root canal was last week. Tomorrow is just the application of the crown on the already-filled tooth. ie. no big deal.
The latter book recommended somewhere by @doctorow
Books on my desk: Warped Passages by Lisa Randall (on string theory) and Flappers, Bootleggers, “Typhoid Mary” and the Bomb by B. Boardman.
(Tomorrow morning, hike and then my root canaled tooth will be crowned. Then some work, and gym in the late afternoon!
I am hereby once more congested in the sinuses, but not sick from the neck down. Tonight will involve a trip to the gym!
@windsandle LOL Indeed. Unlike cattle, who must browse to eat. 🙂
@charlesatan Ugh! Well, I hope you’re doing better soon…
@StephanieDBrown 🙂
@windsandle best way to read internet media…
@johnjosephadams keyboards and mice, yes… haven’t tried a monitor, though…
@charlesatan ugh! Have you seen the doctor yet?
@CreateSean Good reason to stop using it! 🙂
@StephanieDBrown why? It was funny…
back home after hanging out with @JamesTurnbull, Roger Wellor, and the latter’s fiancee. Met Stephen Epstein and other neat folks too…
@StephanieDBrown nah it was a pervy comment…
@StephanieDBrown I’m withholding my comment on that one. 🙂
@JamesTurnbull crashed here last night… soon off for breakfast and trip into Seoul…
@StephanieDBrown sorry, which new sensation?
@elainethebrain homegirl! It’s a root canal kind of weekend! I hope yours is as painless as mine, if one is necessary
@bkksoul Ha, I try to convince my students of the same. Wisely, they disbelieve me.
@roboseyo 🙂
@BlueTyson Would have expected Croc to be gamey. Camel? As my old man used to say, “Filthy bloody animal. Never get bitten by one.”
@kimchiicecream Yeah, seriously.
Mourned Dad today. They don’t tell you that you’ll keep mourning. And that joy, and reconnection, and love, and overwhelm sorrow.
@charlesatan Ha, I ended up cleaning my house. A little. And picking up my new wonderful book on reducing blood pressure! And mourning.
Anyone got a spare left ear? I can’t hear out of the one I’ve got…
Going off twitter: time to get the house tidied, hit the office and pick up my book (on managing BP, finally arrived!) and do some writing.
@maureenmcq Nope, not even frog’s legs. No kind of amphibian. Not yet, or knowingly, anyway. 🙂
@BlueTyson Yeah, I must only have had roo… don’t remember croc, and I think I would.
@StephanieDBrown YEah, no temp crown. Just a temp filling down in the tooth itself. Not a nice feeling. But if I’m careful I’ll be okay.
@StephanieDBrown Yup. The only real discomfort is when my tongue explores the tooth and goes, “Gaah! Where’s the rest?!?
@kimchiicecream Would LOVE to find out more about how people reacted to it. Unfortunately, there was no blogosphere at the time.
@kimchiicecream Nick Mamatas told me that story, but I confirmed it with a few Koreans who vaguely remember it.
@kimchiicecream Only heard second hand, but: during some protest evac, a TV station was left unattended. Broadcast V on loop for days.
@kimchiicecream LOL V, V… you know, there’s an interesting story about Korean political history involving that show.
@roboseyo Depends on the dinosaur, mind you. Some of them are nothing but bone! 😉
@BlueTyson Oooh, I think I did have some gator jerky I bought in Australia. Or did I give it away as a gift. Maybe. Roo jerky was ok.
@CreateSean Nope, never had froglegs or snake.
@StephanieDBrown btw it helps when you ask “what’s oorongi?” and they don’t know the English word for that “cute little delicious animal”…
(Maybe not a whole one.)
For my next amazing trick, I’m going to eat a reptile. Er. (Have I ever eaten reptile? No. No lizards, no amphibians. Yet.)
@StephanieDBrown What? Eating cows is less gross? Ever hung out with a cow? 🙂 Seriously, the snail dishes were good.
@StephanieDBrown Yeah, no inflammation at all. I’m saying this is a downright positive dental experience… a dental adventure, really.
