OB/GYN appointments suck. They're painful. But I don't dare skip them, not since I had a bad pap 6 years ago and ended up needing the bad cells frozen off.

On your current playlist, hit shuffle and pick the first twenty songs on the list (no matter how cheesy or embarrassing), and write down your favorite line of the song. (stolen from Tam)
1) "Lately I've been in a life-locked limbo / Looking out of this smudged-up window"
2) "There are stars in the Southern Sky / And if ever you decide you should go / There is a time-sweetened honey / Down the Seven Bridges Road"
3) "There's a little black spot on the sun today / It's the same old thing as yesterday"
4) "Only time will tell / You think you're in heaven / But you're living in Hell"
5) (instrumental song)
6) "Some things never seem to change"
7) "Up high I feel like I'm alive for the very first time / Said up high I'm strong enough to take these dreams and make them mine"
8) "He can see that she's been there / Probably been moved out from every place / 'Cause she didn't fit in there"
9) (another instrumental)
10) "I believe in Kingdom Come / When all the colors will bleed into one"
11) " 'Cause, Momma, I'm hard to handle, now"
12) "Well, I'm gonna show you, baby / That a woman can be tough"
13) "But I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life"
14) "At night I hear the blood in my veins / Just as black and whispery as the rain"
15) "I got down on my knees / And I pretend to pray"
16) Hmmm... this one I don't listen to the lyrics so much as the bounse-y beat
17) "It's over / Oh yes, it's all over / And it's been a long time coming / Some say it's too long"
18) "I've packed my bags / Cleaned the floor / Watch me walking / Walking out the door"
19) "In the day / Nothing matters / It's the night time that matters"
20) "Turn around and see you in a crowded place / Watch for the emotions on a gaurded face"

So I'm noodling around Chudah's Corner, looking for the "Suteki da ne?" lyrics. Found those, messed around some more. Found a translation of "Liberi Fatali", from FF VIII. Damn, they rock... proves just what a genius Uematsu is.

Liberi Fatali , english translation, Nobuo Uematsu
Wake from your sleep, my children
You're childhood years are gone
Wake from your sleep, my children
Your rest is gone

Arise
Search
Go to the true garden
The garden of spring's truth

With fiery truth
Burn the evils of the world
With fiery truth
Light the darkness of the world

Farewell, children
The day has died
Grrr, I forgot how much I hate working with this gold thread.

But I'm out of books at the moment, and this thing needs to be done and framed by June, so I'd better buckle down and do it.
People to call:

1) OB/GYN, to get Depo prescription before Monday
2) Dr. Stohecker, since his office completely fubar'd the insurance filing
3) Baptist hospital, to set up the pre-surgery stuff
4) PAI, to find out how to tell these idiots to file the insurance right so it goes to PAI, and not to my defunct state health plan

Thursday, April 29, 2004

I'm pre-registering for the surgery.

"You'll need to bring a $400 deposit for the surgery."

EXCUSE FUCKING ME???

I won't bring it. That's what my insurance is for, especially since I hit my deductable in January.

Wednesday, April 28, 2004

Oh, duh, the AC.

There's a leak in it. A part of it is rusted under the house. It's 20+ years old. I need a new one.

I told them I did not have $4,000 lying around the replace the whole system, so they shot it full of freon and took my $235.
Surgery will be Wednesday, May 19th, at 2pm.

Call me crazy (yes, I'm looking at you, Lopez), but I'm looking forward to this. One way or another, all the pain and crap I've been through since late December will be over.

Monday, April 26, 2004

.8 miles in 15 minutes. Go me!

AC at home is broken. More money.

Surgeon calls on Sunday. *wuv surgeon* Says that he talked to a second radiologist on Saturday *more wuv for surgeon* and that what the first radiologist thought was a fistula isn't.

Saturday, April 24, 2004

Not having good times right now. :-p

I'm looking at what's ahead in FF X-2, and I may have to start over again. The guide I have says you need to be about level 65 to hit the Farplane. I'm about 20 levels below that. :-p

Ever wanted to spend a whole day drunk? I did that once in college... drank vodka and did vodka jello shooters and basically stayed out of my skull the whole Saturday. One girl told me to my face I was beautiful in that condition.

Lord knows I'm not feeling beautiful now, with this damn fistula giving me 9 kinds of hell because of the fistulagram.

I'm also gaining some weight. Which is worrying me a little.

Any comments about that not being a problem will get you smacked.

Thursday, April 22, 2004

Because I can't do anything half-way...

They think they saw TWO fistulas. One behind the valve (that's the one we knew about), and another on the other end of the pouch, looks like up by where it connects to the small intestine (the fuck that come from???).

More when I hear from the surgeon...

Wednesday, April 21, 2004

Some magazine I've never heard of puts out a 50 worst songs list

Some of them I can understand. But please explain to me why the fuck "The Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkle is on that list?!?!?

Tuesday, April 20, 2004

Every tried to read The Silmarillion? I have. Painful.

Here is a much better version

Monday, April 19, 2004

Well, there HAD been a Quizilla thing here... but the pic refuses to show. So to hell with it.
My boss: Do you want some overtime?
Me (thinking): Is the sky blue?

My co-worker is out because of a ceiling leak. Considering I'll probably miss most - if not all - of Thurseday, I'll take what I can get.

Need more books tho... I went through 518 pages of The Amber Spyglass in less than 8 hours...
Duke's cutting 8am classes to help sleep deprived students.

Bah. Wimps. The students need to learn that can't party all the time. A few F's for not showing up will learn them.
No offense, but what kind of irony is it when the CEO of McDonald's dies unexpectedly of a heart attack?

Friday, April 16, 2004

The surgeon got the films yesterday, and of course they're useless to him.

More tests Thurseday.

Thursday, April 15, 2004

I'm going shooting with my boss again today. Sounds like a great way to release stress. He also said something about there "being a crowd". I think he's been bragging on me, or something. That, or everyone who's seen the target up in my office wants to see if it was really me shooting. ;-)

edited to add PS: Yes, I know, I promised pictures. Mom got a free digital camera when Dad got his new laptop, and it's at my house. I just need to break out of this funk and do something with it.

Otherworld Nobuo Uematsu

Go on if you want it.
An otherworld awaits you
Don't you give up on it.
You bite the hand that feeds you.

All alone cold fields you wander
Memories of it, cloud your sight
Fills your dreams, disturbs your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight

Hold now, aim is steady
An otherworld awaits you.
One thousand years--you ready?
The otherworld it takes you

Go into the sand and the dust in the sky
Go now, there's no better plan than to do or to die
Free me pray to the faith in the face of the light
Feed me fill me with sin now get ready to fight

You know you will
You know you will
You know you know you know you know that you will
You know you know you know you know that you will

Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight
Fight fight fight

Hope dies and you wander
The otherworld it makes you
Dreams they rip asunder
The otherworld it hates you
Free now ride up on it
Up to the heights it takes you
Go on if you want it.
An otherworld awaits you
Ya know, I bitch about my co-workers, whine about the network guys, and routinely beome thunderstruck at the stupidity of the lawyers.

And then my boss decides to bring me some ice. Not in a cup. In one of the silver ice buckets.

:-)
The radiology group at Palms of Pasadena hospital is in big trouble now.

Friday afternoon I faxed a request for them to OVERNIGHT my films to the surgeon up here.

I call the surgeon's office this morning, they haven't gotten them.

I call the radiology group, they sent them IN THE REGULAR MAIL. God only knows when they'll get to my surgeon.

I am not amused.

Monday, April 12, 2004

If Dawn and I were a tag team, I think this would be our entrance music. If we weren't using something from FF X. Like "Otherworld". Or Seymour's psycho fight music. Or some of the hauntingly painful piano music that lets you know all along this isn't a happy ending.

"Can't Not", by Alanis Morissette
I'd be lying if I said I was completely unscathed
I might be proving you right with my silence or my retaliation
Would I be letting you win in my non reaction?

How would I explain?
How would I explain this to my children if I had them?

Because I can't not
Because I can't not
Because I can't afford to be misread one more time...

Saturday, April 10, 2004

The surgery has failed.

More surgery soon.

Back to work.

Especially since I'm about 5 days short on the paycheck I'm about to get. :-p

Saturday, April 03, 2004

Well, I've beaten Final Fantasy X.

Now I'm about to go spend money I really shouldn't to order FF X-2. I can't stop caring about these characters. And I sure as hell am not leaving without knowing for sure what happened to Tidus.

Thursday, April 01, 2004

Everything went fine yesterday, except for ending up with a migraine. So far today, things look good.

I was 10 years old, a 5th grader in Dallas, TX. Dad came to pick us up from school looking very sad. I asked him what was wrong, and he asked, "They didn't tell you?" He told us.

First I got a call from someone saying they were having trouble getting to the Internet, and they wanted to know something about a fire at the World Trade Center. I tried to get to news websites, but the Internet had slowed to a crawl. About the time that a picture of one of planes hitting on the towers came up, the lady came into my office, grabbed me by the arm, and dragged me into a spare office where a TV was set up. About 10 - 20 minutes later the first tower came down, and I said, "The other won't stay up."

35. When Columbia disintegrated during re-entry over Texas. (2/1/2003)

Feels that she cannot do much about her existing problems and difficulties and that she must make the best of things as they are. Able to achieve satisfaction through sexual activity.


4. REJECTED OR SUPPRESSED CHARACTERISTICS OR ANXIETY-LADEN CHARACTERISTICS:
Stresses resulting from disappointment have led to agitation and anxiety. Eager to make a good impression, but worried and doubtful about the likelihood of succeeding. Feels that she has a right to anything she might hope for, and becomes helpless and distressed when circumstances go against her. Finds the mere possibility of failure most upsetting and this can even lead to nervous prostration. Seeks herself as a "victim" who has been misled and abused, mistakes this dramatization for reality and tries to convince herself that her failure to achieve standing and recognition is the fault of others. Unrealistic self-justification.


5. THE ACTUAL PROBLEM OR BEHAVIOR RESULTING FROM STRESS:

#1:
Disappointment and the fear that there is no point in formulating fresh goals have led to anxiety, and she is distressed by the lack of any close and understanding relationships. She attempts to escape into a substitute world in which these disappointments are submerged and things are more nearly as she desires them to be.

#2:
Disappointment at the non-fulfillment of her hopes and the fear that to formulate fresh goals will only lead to further setbacks have resulted in considerable anxiety. She is trying to escape from this into a peaceful and harmonious relationship, protecting her from dissatisfaction and lack of appreciation.

Morning! ;-)

Friday, March 19, 2004

Whoo! 64 movies in an hour of looking. ;-) Stuff like "Deep Space Nine: season 1" (which I barely remember, and everyone says it gets better every season) and "Babylon 5: season 1" (I've only seen a handful of later episodes), the rest of the Kenshin I never watched, some Evangelion, a bunch of Cadfael mysteries, and other random anime (Inu Yusha, Cowboy Bebop, etc.) that I've been hearing about but never seen. And Transformers seasons. I figure that'll keep me occupied while I'm recovering from my outpatient surgery. ;-)

Now I need to learn how to balance watching those and beating FF X. ;-) Ah well, more projects in life. I sleep too much anyways. ;-)
I've done it... I've broken down and joined up with NetFlix. 20 movies in the queue and counting...

Which Peanuts Character are You?
brought to you by Quizilla

(starts humming the theme)
Dickinson
You are Emily Dickinson! Not all that much is
known about Emily Dickinson, probably because
she holed herself up in her room and wrote
poetry. She didn't have very many connections
with the world outside her house, and her
poetry is very introspective and
compartmentalized. You need to get out more.


Which famous poet are you? (pictures and many outcomes)
brought to you by Quizilla

Yeah, but she wrote some damn powerful poetry.
Nirvana
Grunge! You're all about the music and would even
turn your back on fame just to stay true to
your roots... You reached your high in the
early '90s, but you're still making some good
stuff! Keep rocking!


What genre of rock are you?

2. ...owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
Anime and manga.

3. ...wrote a book, what genre would it be?
Fantasy

4. ...ran a school, what would you teach?
Computers and math, girls only.

5. ...recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
My versions of lots of different stuff.
I say... and you think?

  2. Out:: Where I should be
  3. Indecent:: is different for every person
  4. UPN:: Don't get it

I love it! Now I know what to call myself. I like to be as vegetarian as possible, but there are days when a good thick steak hits the spot.
Refinancing went fine, I get money on Monday.

Raven's in the hospital getting rehydrated, she's lost 5 pounds in a day or two from throwing up all the time. :-(

Wednesday, March 17, 2004

Refinancing is today at 1pm. YAY!!! No mortgage payment for 3 months!

The outpatient procedure is the 31st at 3pm. If you can spare a kind thought at the time, please do. I really want this to work.

The addiction of going through Amazon's "Recommendations" and "New For You" sections is only equalled by the frustration as the damn thing pops up a "Cannot be found" every 3 clicks.
Sandra comes by, saying she's thrown up. But she's still here.

Of course she won't leave... it would interfere with her martyr complex. Then people wouldn't notice her.

The woman in this article makes me want to scream. HELLO, BITCH?!? There are THOUSANDS of children waiting to be adopted.

Which Final Fantasy X-2 character are you?

Duh. Yuna and I have a lot in common, and I'm only half-way or so through FF X. It's the sense of responsibility, even at the cost of self.
HASH(0x884d858)
Angst. You are an angel of angst. Once one of
water. But your depression has caused you to
become an outcast. You love to be by yourself,
as it helps you think. You have always, and
always will wonder what has gone wrong. Your
soul has been shattered, and your wings are in
peices. But that's just you. You spend your
days searching for something. Not someone.
Though you don't know what you are looking for.
You don't even remember who you are. And are
always trying to find that person, yourself,
your soul. Which seems to have been misplaced. But.
When you find what you are looking for, it
will become clear. All tragedy will be ripped
from your wings, and your true colours will
show. And then, you are the most powerful of
them all. Hang on, keep looking for it is there. Just try not
to loose all you hope and become nothing. For
you are truly beautiful.

cooperative and friendly. You are a

You are a human shadow. If a loved one needs you,
you are always right at his or her heels! Your
deep social connection with human beings
produces your qualities of genuine caring and
charisma. However, at times you are naive to
the true nature of your loved ones. Remember
that humans' gift of free will does not always
lead them in wise directions. But your essence
of love and friendship represent the other
precious gifts of humanity. Overall you are a
strikingly valuable and innocent being who has
a lot to give.

Why aren't places open before 9am?

I go to the grocery store to get a Western Union money order, and while the registers are open, the customer support desk doesn't open until 9am. Nowhere else around that sells Western Union is open until 9am, either.
That damn bill in Georgia passed 146-16 or so.

Click on the Wildside link over on the right, then go to the message board. There's a link from Norko Kipte that has the email addresses of every single Georgia state senator. The bill is now in their house, so let them know that this is a REALLY BAD IDEA.

My God... if I lose Wildside, I don't know what I'll do.

Angel by Sarah McLachlan

Spend all your time waiting
For that second chance
For a break that would make it okay
There's always some reason
To feel not good enough
And it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
Oh, beautiful release
Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty, oh, and weightless, then maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

So tired of the straight line
And everywhere you turn
There's vultures and thieves at your back
The storm keeps on twisting
Keep on building the lies
That you make up for all that you lack
Don't make no difference
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
Oh, this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees

In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you feel
You are pulled from the wreckage
Of your silent reverie
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here

And it was so nice last week...

Can I go home now? Seymour (FFX reference, sorry) needs an ass-kicking.
These are the days when I want to scream.

Asked for unsweet tea at the Taco Bell. Got all the way back to the office, then took a swig. It's sweet tea.

The surgeon can't see me until April 20th. Meanwhile, I have a call in to the GI doc about the antibiotic I'm taking. It's called Cipro. To put it in perspective, it's the stuff they gave the Anthrax victims a couple of years ago. Anyways, I want to know if it's really safe to take this stuff continuously for the next 6 - 8 weeks. I'll need another script or two, too.
Oooh, I step on the network guys' toes, now I'm in trouble.

The battery died in my car Saturday. There goes another $50...

Surgeon in Florida is trying to get me to come down there. He doesn't seem to understand that I am NINE HOURS away from where he is. He doesn't seem to get that the trip is a huge hassle, financially and mentally.

He'll get it, one way or another. I've made my choice.

Friday, March 05, 2004

It's not if, but when at this point.

Surgery, that is.

My pouch is failing. I have the third fistula (this one draining to the surface) in a year. I could go back to Florida for 2 - 4 weeks to get this latest fisulta "fixed"; or, I could go back to Florida for 4 1/2 weeks to get a whole new pouch; or, I could get a local surgeon to give me a Brooke's (an external pouch for the uninformed).

If you said, "Hmmm, door #3 looks nice," then you're thinking the same way I am.

I don't know when it is quite yet. I'm holding everything off because I'm in the middle of refinancing my mortgage. I also haven't met the surgeon yet, so it'll depend on his schedule as well. Right now I'm holding steady (well, as steady as you can with a draining wound) on Cipro twice a day.

Now, if you'll excuse me, there's fiends that need thrashing on the Moonglow Road. And chocolate to eat. And whiskey to eyeball.

You are Cleopatra of the Nile. The great
biographer of the time, Plutarch, wrote of
Cleopatra, 'Her actual beauty, it is said, was
not in itself so remarkable that none could be
compared with her, or that no one could see her
without being struck by it, but the contact of
her presence, if you lived with her, was
irresistible . . . It was a pleasure merely to
hear the sound of her voice, with which, like
an instrument of many strings, she could pass
from one language to another . . .' You have a
spark in you that draws other people to you.
Indeed, you are drawn to others because you are
always curious. People can talk to you; and
you have a passion in life to know, live, love,
and learn.

What famous female ruler are you? (written for the girls)
brought to you by Quizilla
phoenix
You are a PHOENIX in your soul and your
wings make a statement. Huge and born of flame,
they burn with light and power and rebirth.
Ashes fall from your wingtips. You are an
amazingly strong person. You survive, even
flourish in adversity and hardship. A firm
believer in the phrase, 'Whatever doesn't kill
you only makes you stronger,' you rarely fear
failure. You know that any mistake you make
will teach you more about yourself and allow
you to 'rise from the ashes' as a still greater
being. Because of this, you rarely make the
same mistake twice, and are not among the most
forgiving people. You're extremely powerful and
wise, and are capable of fierce pride, passion,
and anger. Perhaps you're this way because you
were forced to survive a rough childhood. Or
maybe you just have a strong grasp on reality
and know that life is tough and the world is
cruel, and it takes strength and independence
to survive it. And independence is your
strongest point - you may care for others, and
even depend on them...but when it comes right
down to it, the only one you need is yourself.
Thus you trust your own intuition, and rely on
a mind almost as brilliant as the fire of your
wings to guide you.You are eternal and because
you have a strong sense of who and what you
are, no one can control your heart or mind, or
even really influence your thinking. A symbol
of rebirth and renewal, you tend to be a very
spiritual person with a serious mind - never
acting immature and harboring a superior
disgust of those who do. Likewise, humanity's
stupidity and tendency to want others to solve
their problems for them frustrates you
endlessly. Though you can be stubborn,
outspoken, and haughty, I admire you greatly.

You are the Goddess of Earth. You are very stable

You're Elemant is Wind. You're light-hearted,
care-free, kind, sensative, and mysterious. You
have friends and most absolutely love you. You
can be calm and soothing one minute and ragging
in anger the next so no one wants to get on
your bad side. You're beauty is inspiring and
magical.

magic
Your a Magical Angel!Out of all the angels, you are
the one most afflicted with magic. You can do
many enchantments as well as sorcery. You cant
do black magic, because even though your not so
"pure" your still an angel. A very
kind and curious one at that. Magical Angels
are always very easy-going with humans, but
intrestingly enough, like to expirement with
them with their spells.

In the Movies:

[taste]:: Do you take food or drinks into the movies? What do you like to eat/drink while you watch a movie?
Depends. If I've gone out to eat beforehand, no. Otherwise, I like water and some candy. What kind of candy depends on what the theater has.

[touch]:: Do you have a "kissing in the movies" story to share?
Yes, I have a story. Let's just say I missed most of "Basic Instinct". *blush*

[sight]:: Where do you like to sit when you go to the movies? Front, middle, back? Left, right? Does it matter? And what do you do when there´s someone sitting in front of you who´s blocking your view?
Middle of the row, front-to-middle of the rows. If someone's blocking me, usually I move.

[smell]:: If we could smell things in movies, which movie would you want to watch (and smell) and why?
I'd rather not most of the time, unless it was some scene in a restaurant.

[hearing]:: What do you do when people are talking during a movie and disturbing you? Are you the kind of person who sighs and hopes they will stop or do you say something?
Normally I'll say something like, "Would you please be quiet!" very loudly (opera training has it's uses). And no, I get mad. If they don't shut up, I'll go find the manager.

I say ... and you think ... ?

Hollywood :: fake
Censor :: government
Nascar :: redneck
Lube :: oil change
Mortgage :: refinance
Freedom :: given
Champion :: Queen
Reality TV :: stupid
New York :: big
