literature thoughts

Hmmm in talking to mjules  lately  I realize how much I miss English classes and discussing literature and poetry. It was fun talking with mjules about Poe and Sandburg and the bawdy fun of Donne. I do miss talking about these things on a regular basis. Maybe I should revisit my idea to do that book group thing online with genre books.

my computer has a new motto. It's if you first don't succeed, install install again. On the third try the stupid scanner installed....but it will only save as HTML...wth? Sigh.

And you know things aren't going well when you're looking for your other doctor's phone number and realize you were scheduled for a mammogram and no one told you the date...which was today and you have 15 minutes to get there (nothing like clipping up the road at a mile and minute) and then have an allergic reaction to the soap they used in washing the gown so not only do the D cups get mashed they break out in hives from the damn soap. ARGH

randomness

I HATE my glasses. I have no peripheral vision and damn if the wall to my secretary's office didn't leap out from the side and bite me hard. Crushed my glasses right into my face...right in front of the head of the dept. hey what can I say. I couldn't see the wall.

I made a border run today into Point Pleasant with three dollars. The lottery is over 210 million. A dollar for me, one for mom and one for evil_little_dog of course no matter which ticket wins I'll claim it's MINE and dole out gifts from it. I offered to play for my secretary but she didn't trust me to not tell her HERS was the winning one. Does she know me or what?

I enjoyed having House back finally. THough that one cut a little too close for me since hello, staring the endometrial biopsy in the face next week and the horrors of what going back on birth control might do (I'm high risk) and not to mention I've been on the side of waiting for the lab report after an AIDS patient spat blood in my eye back in 93.
