phosfateTook Mom in for maintenance this morning. Her BP is actually below 150 most of the time for the first time in at least a year, apparently thanks to Dr Pinhead's new meds. ("Is it wrong to be amazed that something these assholes gave you actually works?" "No. I am.") So yay.
I hate her doctor's waiting room. One of those horrible beige-and-violet things, with steel chairs and a television playing fake health "news" that can't be turned off. Add the hospital smell and you've got a total spirit-crusher of an establishment. Feh. Dr Coffman's dark-paneled, owl-infested waiting room is depressingly prefab southern gothic, but at least it actively wants you dead, instead of going after you with passive-aggressive blandness. And there's no stupid tv.
Stopped at B&N for new Newtype and manga (Kodocha 8 and Demon Diary 2). Again, yay.
I would like to go to sleep for a very long time.

A carrel is (according to Websters, which is much more concise than I would ever be): a table that is partitioned or enclosed (partitioned in my case) and is used for individual study or work, esp. in a library.
Wish I worked in a library. That would be so much more pleasant.
The other night, The Pill was telling people that Canada didn't allow Christian radio broadcasts. (You think they're just liked America," she said, "but then you find out they don't allow freedom of religion.") Doubting that mightily, I fired off a call to M. in the Ministry of Communication (or whatever it's called up there that that covers all aspects of the media). She said (of course) that it was bullshit; she could name two Christian radio stations off the top of her head in Ottawa alone. The Pill did not believe this the next evening, because *a Pastor* had told her the erroneous information, so of course his prejudice-mongering lies were sacrosanct. {gagging} Yeah, those Evil Canadians, actually adhering scrupulously to their separation of church and state laws, allowing freedoms that the Christian church frowns upon, so let's just spread lies about them to bolster our side of the story.
