Writer's Block: The one that got away
[Error: unknown template qotd]
Oh ho ho. Logically, I don't really believe in the idea of soulmates, but... yeah, okay, you got me. One can't always be logical, eh? Yes, I tend to believe that certain people are just made for each other, and yes, I think I've found mine. I usually call him the other half of my soul - it just feels that way.
Somehow, it seems unlikely that someone who "got away" from you was really your soulmate. I suppose there could be exceptions, but generally speaking...
Anyway, last Sunday was my birthday, and I spent it entirely at home. Not for lack of choice, though; it just worked out that way. I got most of my out-and-about fun earlier in the week, what with the Decemberists concert on Wednesday and on Saturday, Jaime and I went and played pool. I did pretty well for the first two racks before all of the ability got sucked out of the room during the third. I might be getting better. More consistent, at least. Just a smidge. Really, though, it's just a lot of fun, so I keep on trying. On Sunday itself, Jaime ran out and got me a few gifties - some bath sponge capsules (vehicles, sea animals, and farm animals, yay! This was apparently my fifth birthday) and Rhythm Heaven, which is awesome. I've been playing it every spare moment I get, and I've almost beat it already. Two more levels to go. Of course, then there's the matter of gathering up the few medals I've missed along the way, not to mention all the Perfects I have yet to claim... Seriously, if you're a fan of rhythm games, you must pick it up. It's too fun to adequately describe here. And the love lizards! So cute! <3
What else have I been doing? Um... reading papers? A lot of papers? Blood flow phantoms and CTCs and melanoma, oh my! Ah, who am I kidding? I love being a science geek.
Class in half an hour, then it's off to the health center for me to get blood drawn. On the plus side, the doctor said it's been long enough that I can knock my panels back to every year instead of every six months, and even though I've picked up a new medication recently, my grad health insurance is better (!!!) for prescriptions than what I had before, so the overall increase in expenses per month is only $10 or so. If only it applied to dental work, too. Sigh.
You bored too? Scour the archives of The Anticraft. The more recent issues haven't been quite as good as the old ones (and they have an error in this article that hasn't been fixed yet Whoo, fixed! :D), but much of the archive is great. Or, if you still haven't seen Keith Olbermann's health care special comment, watch some clips. As for me, I'm off to check Craft and NewScientist before Physiology starts. Aaaaand... go!

i believe that you and jaime are soul mates. i think they exist - i just think that they don't exist for everyone and that most people don't find them. they either give up and settle or simply miss their opportunity altogether. it is a rare and wonderful event when it works. every now and then you know a couple who just seem to have been together for eons - just have a connection that transcends the everyday. revel in the fact that you and jaime have found that -
tomorrow is joe's surprise 50th bday party. matt and family are coming from oregon, annie and family from yerington, and mary and co from truckie, hannah neace (drama director) and her family - joe used to work with her mom at the y years ago, and then chuck from winnemucca and lots of home depot folks. of course, dannae and sydney are helping me to set up while the boys distract joe with a movie. you and the boy will be greatly missed.
how are you feeling? teethies, etc. (and yes money is on the way - not much - wish it could be more)
call me!
loves - momie
ps - how cool is it that obama got the nobel peace prize???????
