A Few Bullet Points From Today:

[grammargirl]

*Spent most of the day at the hospital with Jason and his family. His father's doing well, under the circumstances. He's apparently much more lucid than he was yesterday--basically himself, except he's pretty weak and he's been having a hard time connecting people with names. He called me Madeleine a couple times, for example, and Hermione at least once. He's scheduled for a biopsy on Friday to determine what kind of tumor it is and what the best course of treatment will be, but the doctors seem sure that it's too diffuse to remove surgically. We're keeping our fingers crossed that it's the kind of tumor that can be shrunk with radiation and/or chemo and then cut out. In any case, we won't know anything until at least Friday.

*On the way back to Ann Arbor from Jason's house, my odometer hit 123456. I find that obscurely exciting.

*OH MY GOD there's the biggest spider ever on our wall right now. It's hiding behind the blinds in front of our air conditioner for the time being--I think it knows we've begged Sam the Music Snob to come over here and kill it. Oh man, we're gonna get made fun of mercilessly for this.

*Met Aubrey's cool friend Jill (who, I just learned, has an LJ. Hiya, beingblueagain!). We're in the process of making a ginormous mp3 CD of chickrock for her. Is keen.

*Fox's new reality show The Swan is the single most horrifying idea for a show ever conceived. Seriously. You must watch this show just to cringe at the terribleness of humanity.

*9 days and counting. Eep, I can't believe we're in single digits now. Hardcore spazzing will commence within the next few days, I suspect. Fair warning.

Okay. Must post this before midnight because I have a weird compulsive updating-every-day thing.

Don't even think of how many spiders you've swallowed while sleeping...

[grammargirl.livejournal.com]

I hate you so much.

[adam-oddfellow.livejournal.com]

Actually, you probably haven's swallowed many, if any. I hear that the average person swallows two spiders in their life, and you're not exactly aged.

[misanthropicsob.livejournal.com]

Shhh, you're spoiling the fun.

[beingblueagain.livejournal.com]

no, completely false. you swallow on average of 7 spiders a year in your sleep.

When my car was brand new, I got it timed just right so that when the regular odometer read 2509, the trip meter above it read 364, so together it said 364-2509, which was my phone number at the time. My car now has about 102K on it, so I guess I'll get to see 123456 in the next couple of years. Hee hee!
