NOTE: This is a story about bleeding, a LOT of bleeding, and two hospitals. It’s pretty graphic. There’s an OBGYN in it and an exam and everything. YHBW. So yesterday my body finally decided to have that long-awaited miscarriage. I woke up early, bleeding. Had cramps, then had worse cramps, then had pain. I asked […]

I have one! I have one! OH MY GOD I have one! And it’s blue, and it’s wonderful, and Mr. Brett gave it to me because he’s totally superior in every way, and I love it! It’s my brand new Apple iPod mini, and YES IT IS every bit as tiny and geeky and cute […]

I hate trying to buy ebooks for Microsoft Reader. I only do it when I want a particular book that isn’t offered in any other format – today, for instance, it was Robin Hobb’s Assassin’s Apprentice/Royal Assasin bundle – and even then it’s almost not worth it. After you purchase the book, the site contacts […]

I figured it was time for another uterine update. (This may be TMI for some of you delicate readers, but there isn’t anything terribly gross if you want to plunge on ahead.) My midwife thinks – and I agree – that what I’m experiencing is a blighted ovum, or anembryonic pregnancy. This means that due […]

Does ‘Spotting’ Foretell a Miscarriage? Yes. Fuck yes it does. All those articles to the contrary are bullshit, designed to minimize panic. The simple truth is that when you’re pregnant and you bleed, you’re about to have a miscarriage. Trust me, I’m an expert on this. I just went pee and there it was: a […]

I am aware that there are problems with comments. This problem is the fault of spammers, who are bastards all, and deserve seeping venerial diseases for filling my server up with such total crap. Because of spammers, I have to run a plugin called MT-Blacklist, and MT-Blacklist occasionally just freaks out and stops working properly. […]

I think I’m going to take a stab at the upcoming Wisbar/PocketBreeze contest. I’m no Juni of course, but no harm in trying. Especially since the prizes are so great. This’ll be my first attempt at skinning PocketBreeze icons, but I read the tutorial last night and I don’t think it’s too impossible. Right now […]

Seven things I thought about while I was in the bathroom this afternoon showering, drying my hair, fixing my face, and getting dressed. 1. Ganglion cyst My accursed cyst disappeared sometime yesterday afternoon ALL BY ITSELF! I mean, it was there around three or four yesterday afternoon, I remember because I was trying on a […]

I just went to Mi-T-Mart for a treat. It smells like rancid chicken fat and melted engine parts in the parking lot. It was so intense I decided to share. No doubt it will blow away soon. —–

My desire to posess an iPod is becoming almost absurd. By God, I want one! Now! The more I think about it, the more I want it! I want to carry five thousand songs in my pocket! I want to listen to audio books! I want backlighting! I want solitaire! I want, I want, I […]
