Happy Thanksgiving!

it was 24 years ago today that Harvey Milk was assassinated by Dan White in San Francisco...

"If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door." - Harvey Milk, 9 days before his assassination.

OHMYGOD! (literally - heh heh) - it's Buddy Christ!!

Ya know what pisses me off? This medical reimbursement account thang that says if you overestimate what you're gonna spend in a year, they keep the extra that they've deducted from your paycheck! It's that time o year again, to decide how much they're gonna get out of me each paycheck - adding up my list of prescriptions is a bit depressing - we're talking close to 150 bucks a month! But who knows what i'll be taking med-wise in 3 months...6 months...and so on...so i conservatively estimated, based on my current meds, and will deduct $50 a pay period...if i do the vagus nerve stimulator thang and cut back on the meds, i'll probably still manage to rack up plenty of bills...why Manley should get to keep the money i might not spend is beyond me tho...

they're encouraging us at work to make our little cubes more personal - wonder if i'd get fired for putting up this calendar...*8-)

HOW TO . . . TALK GOOD
10 Useful Hints for Everyday Grammar

usually trapped at work on sunday nights, so i don't get to watch tv then...i'd forgotten how much i missed queer as folk - the damned thing's gonna be in reruns till march '03!!! and they're not releasing season 2 on dvd till freakin february...why do the cable channels do this shit?!? waiting over a year for the sopranos sucked too...yeah, i understand perhaps fewer episodes as a good trade-off for the quality they put into these shows, but i can't imagine being off the air for such long periods of time can help things....oh well, at least we've got queer duck online to keep us entertained...

woo hoo, finally got the pix developed from the cowboy junkies show / the party at angela's / the ani difranco concert...

here's a pic of me with margo timmons, lead singer for the cowboy junkies...man that woman can melt by boxer shorts!!! check their tour diary for their perception of the evening of october 13 here in indianapolis

these pics weren't taken with my digital camera, but rather with a disposable i had sitting in the car...dunno why, but the kodak picture CD that this image came from looks a hell of a lot worse than the actual pictures themselves...oh well...i'll photoshop em later...

*grin*

Celebrity or Lookalike?

the neurologist once again has brought up the option of a Vagus Nerve Stimulator as a way to control my seizures. with my insurance changing at the first of the year, i suppose it's time to think about it some more...the idea of being able to be completely off seizure meds is awfully tempting, that's for sure...but will it work for me? dave's website had lots of info from a patient's point of view...yeah, it's an invasive procedure, but it's better than going in and taking out a big chunk o brain...

well, at least i've got some time to think about it...

once again the conversation turns weird at work...current topic - Camel Toes...

the indy star gave a positive review to ani difranco's show last nite...

so, pooky and i did the family bondage thang and went to see ani difranco last night at the egyptian room...good show, considering ani had broken her foot and spent the evening sitting down - the show was a bit shorter than usual, but she still managed to pack the same punch...Hamell On Trial was her opening act - pretty good, i'll hafta look into his stuff...

ani closed the show with a poem, self evident...pretty powerful shit...

managed to get some halfway decent pix with the digital cam - surprising considering how far from the stage we were...

i guess i'm turning into an old fuddy-duddy - the general admission thing sucks ass - i would've much preferred regular seats...

more later, now i hafta get ready for work - bleargh!

fatwallet.com has forums with lots and lots of freebies in em...now i'm expecting lots of goodies to come via us postal service!

pooky sent me this link - check out blackpeopleloveus.com
