oh, AND

Skip this post if you don’t want any spoilers at all about The Ring (but they’re not major spoilers).
The movie showing was at 7:35. About 20 minutes into the movie is when they show the video for the first time. Our caller ID shows a call from “Unknown, 555-555-5555″ at 7:55. I [...]

We went to see The Ring tonight. It’s scary. Really, really scary. It’s like if Kubrick and Hitchcock got together with Shyamalan to make a film. It’s the creepiest movie I’ve seen in years. If you like scary movies, you have to go see it.
There were two gay guys behind [...]

The story thus far

Monday, October 28th, 2002

On request from JenBen, here’s the synopsis on the boob thing.
10/01 - discover a little bump on the bottom of my left boob. Since I’d just had a baby, I thought it might be a plugged duct or something.
3/02 - bump still there. I ask my OB about it who sends me to [...]

Oh hey, here I am. Where the hell have I been?
We were supposed to go hunting this weekend but ended up not going because it’s flooding at the ranch. Again. Some more. This is the third time in the last 4 months.
The older daughter turned 3 this week. I can’t [...]

Heard at church tonight:
Head choir singer: No way! When did I hit a D natural?
Choir leader: demonstrates what he did.
Head choir singer: And that was because I didn’t reverence the altar?

How to be childish

Need help remembering how cooties worked? Look no further.
Major political platforms from the 1800s on. See! how they’ve changed! Watch! as they contradict themselves! Gape! as they grow from a couple of paragraphs to the size of War and Peace!
I bet you’d never thought that rocks are sexy before, had you?
…Or [...]

Oh, lovely

I just found out what a “wet-dry dressing” is. And apparently it’s nice and painful during dressing changes. Yippee!

Progress

Lookie, I finished the king-sized quilt top that I’m making for class. I still have to put on the borders, and then quilt the whole thing. If I wasn’t certifiable before I started this project, I will be afterward.
A thousand thanks to that certain blogger who sent me the Trainspotting CD from my [...]

Crikey

I knew it was going to be a bad day when I went out to the car and saw a badly mutilated squirrel, at least I think it was a squirrel, with yellow jackets and flies all over it, lying on the ground right next to the car.
So I went to the doctor who said [...]

Really uncool

My stitches came loose. Gaping wound. Gaping. What kind of damned doctor’s office doesn’t open by 8:30, anyway?
