My dearest flist...

How have you been? What's up? Look at all those stories that have been posted that I have to try to track down now. Pfft. Maybe I shall be lazy and just read the ones rec'd to me. I did notice some kerfuffle, the effects of which are only the vaguest ripple in my neck of the LJ pond at the moment. I'm sure I shall feel them more later. I'm too low energy today to investigate, though I have been downing the B vitamins like you wouldn't believe.

I volunteered to rec for a month on crack_van, though they haven't responded yet, I'm still antsy.

Also, do I have money to go the X-Files movie (and CKR)? Hmmm, probably not.

I'm taking great comfort in the fact that Lincoln didn't really achieve what he wanted until later in life; it makes me feel like much less of a loser dork. And I have this urge to reread all of catlover's "Greg Sanders: Private Dick" AU, which would take FOREVER but is still fun. (And oh, someone needs to volunteer to update the CSI recs on crack_van, they are *old* and haven't been updated in forever).

Blah.

HEE! Rimming always makes me feel better!

He has a congential condition called a pectus excavatum, where his cartilage didn't grow at the correct speed when in utero. He has a "dent" in his chest. It looks like his chest wall is caving in. My daughter had the same condition, had the same surgery, although my son's dent is more pronounced. My husband has it, but never had his fixed. In the old days, they sawed through your ribs.

Nowadays, they go in under the armpits, make an incision, and then thread a steel lathe through and push OUT the cartilage. It stays in a couple of years as the cartilage "remolds." They like to do it when the kids are going through a growth spurt (hence as teenagers when their growth is so phenomenal). Daughter's surgery was a smashing success and no reason not to think this won't be, but, christ, everything's happening ALL AT ONCE!

Yeah, eeek! I hate that, life always piling it on.

Of course, on the other hand, it's better than drawing it all out, I guess.


I am debating the porn because I don't want to end up doing something epic right now...and I do tend to turn things epic. But the idea is hot.

:)

You just DO epic, honey. Not that I'm complaining because you do it SO WELL! Have you seen the Dark Knight? My kids say major thumbs up.

[rispacooper.livejournal.com]

Dark Knight is SO unbelievably good. Go see it, you won't regret it.

Did you like Batman Begins?

[pir8fancier.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't, but we have it on DVD. The kids are STILL raving about it. In fact, daughter's going to see it on IMAX tomorrow.

Yeah I liked Heath well enough in Brokeback, he had like a good strong, silent type thing going on, but I didn't realize he could ACT, act until I watched Dark Knight. The only real complaint is that they had so many storylines that Bruce Wayne's suffered a little, time wise. I wanted more Joker/Batman interaction.

Heath is pretty freaking brilliant though.
