Phone died officially yesterday.. I need to pick up a midterm cheapie until my uber-phone comes in.

Doctor visit today, and we'll see how that goes.

I'm tired of hack comics relying on one-trick humor. Fat guys telling *only* fat jokes, Black guys telling *only* black jokes, Lesbians telling *only* lesbian jokes. Come back when you've got an assortment. Just because you can make fun of your personal diametric is no reason not to expand out a bit. Maybe add a little storytelling? It's getting so that I can flip past a stand-up and tell you any of the jokes a person might say, just by a glance. I think that for the most part there's some sort of heirachy too, in the event of "combo packs". I suspect sexuality dominates ethnicity, and ethnicity trumps overweight content (unless the comic in question is overwhelmingly obese). I wonder how big a business comedy clubs is anymore?

Mother's back from Sweden, going to the Bahamas this weekend... and moving into her new condo right after she returns. I'm guessing she's not hurting for funds too badly.

Neat! I got a friendly hello from one of my spawn in the vampire game, . (Between Hessite & 8th, and Horror & 9th)

Ok, we're making progress. I’ve got a prescription for a foot brace to build up some strength there, and a MRI.

Let's hope Workman's Comp stays Johnny on the spot. I'd like that to be scheduled swiftly. I'll start pestering them on Monday.

I've picked up my new cheapskate phone, and it seems to do the job well enough. it'll make for a good spare when the new one arrives.

Had a nice day today, though there's a tiny headache seed in my noggin... hopefully it'll pass before taking bloom.
