The MRI wasn’t unbearable, even if it’s not an experience I’d like to repeat any time soon, but I really wish I didn’t need to wait a week and a half to discuss the results with my orthopedist. They released the films to me (which, not surprisingly, I don’t know how to read), and I have an appointment with the doctor next Wednesday. On the one hand, I’ve waited this long… On the other hand, though, I’ve waited this long. And my leg still hurts.

Singin’ songs about the southland
“Scientists are saying the future is going to be far more futuristic than they originally predicted.” – Krysta Now
“What in God’s name are you talking about?” – Vaughn Smallhouse
There are a scattered few things to like about Richard Kelly’s Southland Tales. Unfortunately, almost none of them make any sense, or seem like they belong in the same movie together.
Hallelujah
I’m posting this from my notebook computer. I have a working wireless internet connection again.
Now if only there was a tech support number I could call about the pain in my leg…
Wit’s end: I have arrived
Right now, I’d be at the point of tossing out the wireless router and just starting over…if I hadn’t already tried that earlier in the week.
I suspect it’s some minor setting, of the modem or router or firewall — or all three — and I thank everyone for suggesting possibilities. But I’ve been completely unable to diagnose which setting, and I’m still unable to access the internet except on the computer in my parents’ bedroom.

I’m lonely driving behind the wheel
