I had one hell of a day yesterday.  Details soon.

MONDAYS! ACK!!!

We watched Get Him to the Greek last night. It was kinda funny and even occasionally hilarious but still felt like a letdown. It had neither the depth and heart of Forgetting Sarah Marshall nor the  multi-splendored looniness of Russell Brand at his best. Mostly it's just 100 minutes of debauchery that often goes too far into ick areas. ("Hee! Compound fracture!") Gets some mileage out of the stars, though.

Dad sees the kidney doc today. I'll report on when I hear.

I hate it that this crappity's most common smiley.  I wish we didn't have to use it so often.

Yesterday was my housing co-op yearly chore: it's usually a round of exterior house painting.  Everybody gets together and we paint each others exterior iron works and walls.  Since there's twelve of us, we can get a lot done in a single day, and it comes much cheaper than hiring someone to do it.  Yesterday, the yearly chore was at my place. 

Because of it, we weren't paying as much attention to little Sophie as we should, and... She swallowed a paper clip.  We called a medical advice hotline, and the nurse told us that we should take her to the hospital, to make sure the paper clip wasn't stuck somewhere.  We had to drop everything, and rush to the hospital.  X-rays were taken.  The paper clip was in her stomach.  The doctor told us that the risks of it doing something to the intestines are very small.  We should just wait for it to come through the other side. 

Seeing the x-rays was kind of funny, and a big relief: we could clearly see the outline of the paper clip in her stomach, the image was very sharp, the clip was very obvious.  It shouldn't be there, it was incongruous and therefore, it was funny.  Since we knew that if it was in her stomach, everything would be all right, seeing the dam paper clip in there got us into a kind of nervous laughter. 

Kids, eh?

Just from the title Le Noise sounds like something Dan would enjoy.

Or maybe Les Shoe Gazers.

Lez shoegazers!?  Count me in!

many PBAs*to you and the fam Dan...

that sort of stuff can happen in the blink of an eye...I can't tell yoiu how many times we've called poison control over the years (those silca packets really cause no harm when you eat the individual beads...Carpet Fresh powder isn't that bad when licked off a carpet...moldy blue berries might just cause a bit of the runs).

Here's to Sophie gently pooping out her paper clip.

first day of improv classes! I'M NERVOUS.

The nephrologist thinks she has identified the issue with my Dad. Predictably, my Mom couldn't remember the name of the thing. But the gist of it is that he has a deficiency of vitamin D and Potassium. They are putting him on a med called anosterodone to control that and  another pill that is supposed to help him rapidly lose the 30 lbs. he gained.

I am tentatively hopeful.

[Bizarro]

Good luck, Bams!
