Keepin' Goin'
Jun. 24th, 2007 03:29 amDid you know that McDonald's puts nutrition information on the bottom of its burger boxes? It's REALLY depressing to look at that after you've finished a fast-food meal. That's a paddlin' (and a long hour of running flat out at the gym today)!
We took Bernie to the vet - they were worried and wanted to see him ASAP. So, we girded up our checking accounts and headed in. Man, Bernie was stinky, and he kept trying to put his butt on me (ew)! But we have a gastrointestinal antibiotic, some soft food (which has been giving Bernie a whole new world of culinary nirvana), some gel-based earwax emulsifier and the okay to give him rawhide bones once he's better. The vet also told us about an otoscope procedure that's now available - they can dig out the deep-seated earwax plugs and check for middle-ear infections. They do have to give the animal twilight anesthesia, which means big $$. Boo. Hopefully, though, it will give Bernie more relief from his near-chronic ear infections.
After rushing through that, we went to see 1408. ( **SPOILERS** )
I didn't get to Comfest, but I did get a nice, long nap in, and cleaned at the Temple, so I have all of tomorrow free, free, free! So maybe North Market, maybe Noodles, definitely a bike ride.
And later, possibly a picspam post.

Apr. 4th, 2007 09:59 pm Been doing this new medicine for a little over a week now, and I'm ( liking it pretty well )
I had a great dream the other night. I was hanging out with Amy Sedaris, and we were talking about messy lives. I like mine - my house is rarely spit-shined, dog and cat hair regularly take over, and I don't worry about buying a house "while the market is hot". In fact, I don't care if we ever buy a house. (It'll be a condo if we do, anyway. We both detest yard work.) We had this very deep conversation about it, and I remember feeling very happy. Nice!
ALSO. SHAMELESS REQUEST. The group Texas. It seems to be tough to get their stuff 'round these parts. I have The Hush, but that's it. Anyone wanna hook a sista up with more stuff via YSI/Megaupload? I'm always willing to do a trade, hit me up (I have tons o' stuff).

Also, a book rec for all of you fandom types who've been involved in the debate/wank over plagiarism: The Little Book of Plagiarism by Richard Posner. While it can be a bit dry, Posner definitively answers the question of a) whether fanfiction itself is plagiarism (it's not) and whether, if you copy a fanfiction story. it's truly plagiarism (it is). Quite interesting.

May. 16th, 2004 11:25 pmI've been taken over by writer's block, worse than it's ever been. My little originals - they tend to loosen up my fingers for other writing - have dried up. WAH.
So, I've gotta start doing something else. I've never been one to write down my dreams, but I figured that's all I've got at this point, so just to get going, here goes. And it features fandom people! :)
( Okay, so we were shopping at Easton )
