beauxdeigh Posted July 23, 2005 Report Share Posted July 23, 2005 I don't feel any less wise... I had my wisdom teeth removed this morning. First time I've had surgery since I was a kid. Over the last few days the internal worry monologue has been getting a workout. Which sucks, because it never brings up any valid concerns, just paranoia. Every time it got to a dull roar, I fought it out of my head and asked for peace. They escort me into the operating room. I went with the general anesthetic, because being conscious and 'numb' for this didn't strike me a fun. They start by strapping me down to the table because they claim sleeping people tend to roll over, but it just starts to make me feel claustraphobic and anxious. Cue worry, back in force. Then they wheeled over the IV. God, I hate needles. Haven't given blood, even though I'd like to, because of that. Somehow, I didn't go into a panic attack, mostly thanks to the excellent staff there. The good news is that the procedure went without any known hitches (Yes, I've had a surprise hitch in the past...that's a pretty funny story actually), and the pain has already lessened to very tolerable levels. I really want a sandwich, tough. Quickie musing, unrelated,not so random: I only hope for there be a resolution soon. Please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Gillen Posted July 24, 2005 Report Share Posted July 24, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings After about a week of record-breaking temperatures (117+) in Las Vegas, the remnants of the hurricane passed over from the Gulf of Mexico, and this weekend it's actually been pleasant. About 30 degrees cooler. One would almost think Nature was fair. JG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Savinien Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I think I'm going to write a book. I've been working on some preliminary introduction and plot plotting. I've always sort of thought I would write something. I never knew if it would be lasting. I've never decided what exactly I want to say. I've decided now, and in some ways, it feels like the best, most liberating thing I've ever decided to do.

Dr. Anomaly Posted July 26, 2005 Report Share Posted July 26, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings "I have no mouth, and yet I must scream." I have a mouth, so if I scream, it'll only generate a response from the police. But that knowledge doesn't make the feeling go away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savinien Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I've finally got my hands on Perdido Street Station and I've read a few pages. Two things immediately struck me. 1) I wish I'd paid more attention to the New Crobuzun thread by Curfea. I didn't know of the connection. 2) Writing styles between myself and China Mieville are strikingly similar. Though, his words are even larger and often more obscure. His sentence structure is familiar enough to be eerie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zornwil Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings The Atlanta airport should be torn down and a new one, somewhere else, built. This place is jinxed. And has a very bad feel to it. Or somehow every airline here has incompetent local management and everybody needs to be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archermoo Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Re: A Thread for Random Musings I find it very annoying that every hotel I've ever stayed at had water with so much chlorine that it tastes like pool water. Normally not so bad, but when you have a full kitchen like in the Residence Inn I'm currently at, it is more noticable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
