Inevitable. |11:59 PM|
I expressed to one person today what I thought of the shuttle disaster. I don't think I feel comfortable saying it all here. Maybe later. I didn't know those men and women, I would have still called them heroes had I met them.
As far as coverage, this man has done a fantastic job putting it all together.
There was also this, that I wanted to share. My cousin Leila Mcmullen was born. 9 pounds, 2 ounces. I held her when she was just an hour old, and it was something so special and instant, I guess it's something you just have to be around. Crying, pinkish, unhappy, and beautiful.

Have you ever had those periods of time that you wanted to last forever, but at the same time you wanted to race ahead to see what was next? All that you can hope to do is experience the moment, cherish it and hope you have more like it. That's as much as I can say about it, really.
These comments work. Probably. ->

Don't touch me again, with your nine-volt tongue |3:49 PM|
I was trying to determine which part of my stride denotes the beginning and the end of a "step" for one leg. Surely you can pinpoint a time on each step, and count steps taken by a single leg by how many times it repeats, but it's much harder to figure out where one step ends and one step begins. Attempting to do this while walking leads to very stilted steps, as each movement is being studied and is no longer in the same group of actions of locomotion.
In other words, thinking too hard about walking makes you walk funny.
In less interesting, more peculiar news, something is strangely wrong with my left arm and skull. There's this zone of skull right in front of my left ear that hurts with this pulsating fury, and at the same time, the top of my forearm hurts, pulsing in the same rythym as the zone on my skull. It comes and goes at odd times, and is quite painful. I'll probably have to go see the doctor about it. (My father).
Speaking of medical issues, I don't know how medical insurance works when it comes to prescriptions. Now that my real medical insurance has kicked in, I can go into a pharmacy, purchase $260 worth of pills, and pay $35 for them all. Seems weird, seems like someone, somewhere is getting screwed.
I officially have a girlfriend at this point, but she also calls me her girlfriend. I agreed to this as long as I'm only forced to wear black dresses, as I don't look too good in red.
I've been reading through Exploding Dog again for the first time in ages. Some of these old ones are great, much more funny then some of the melancholy ones that plague later dates.
Exploding dog is an odd site, you submit titles to the owner, and he draws a picture in response to them. I'm sure I've advertised his site before, probably made an update similar to this. It is worthy of repeating.
Some are funny as hell:
Try it now If a bit gross:
Don't piss on me
