Well, I just spent a fun and exciting four hours in the emergency room. I ve been having severe abdominal pain since 3pm (Thursday) and I finally decided to go to the ER. After a urine test, a blood test, and a pelvic exam, they have decided that they don t know what s wrong with me.
Yippee.
I guess I m just naïve in thinking that doctors know the solutions to our problems. At first he thought it was going to be a bladder problem, but the urine test ruled that out.
After the pelvic and blood tests, waiting for results, I started to get worried that he was going to tell me that something s wrong and I can t have kids. I fell asleep in the exam room waiting, then he came in and said, Nothing seems out of the ordinary. Well, except the stabbing pain in my gut whenever I move, of course.
I was advised to go on a liquid diet and take 3 Advil every four hours and see how I feel in 24 hours.
I can t wait to get that bill. I m really excited about it.
Just because I felt like it. I got this from s blog. Feel free to write your response in your own blog (Tim, goddammit, get a blog or I ll murder you) or in a comment.

- Wake up at noon (four hours later, mind you)
I am not looking forward to work.
But in other news, I have an iPod now! Finally!
And I got the best deal of all time. I got a 20GB iPod (yes, an older generation), an iTrip, a StickyPad to hold my iPod on my dashboard, an iPod case, The Matrix on DVD, and The Sims for PS2 all for less than the $300 I got as gift money from my godmother on Monday. The iPod itself was refreshed and only $179.
I am the bargain queen.
Kids shows back in my day were not as dumbed-down as they are now. For example, in the episode of Fraggle Rock I m watching right now (called Gobo s Discovery ), Red Fraggle just said, Oh, come off it, Gobo, everyone s got problems.Not to mention the numerous instances of discussions about death in the past few episodes. In fact, Gobo got trapped under a piece of wood and knocked unconscious, and mumbled in his half-lucid state, Uncle Matt. I m scared, Uncle Matt.
Sing me a song, please Uncle Matt, please! and Red and Boober, trying to free Gobo from the piece of wood, sang the song Gobo s uncle Matt used to sing to him, cuing a flashback to baby Gobo and Uncle Matt (and subsequently, baby Junior Gorg and King Gorg, who apparently used to sing the same song when Junior was young). Maybe I don t know what I m talking about, but Barney never struck me as being that touching.
Poor Gobo, calling for his Uncle Matt. *sniffle* *snifflesniffle*
Yes, I m a nerd.
Anyway, Fraggle Rock was a smart kids show.
In the episode The Minstrels that I just watched the other day, Jim Henson (as Cantus the Minstrel) delivered some of the most thought-provoking dialogue I ve ever heard in children s television. And Boober used the word coup . That just bowls me over.
