(no subject)

Patty and I managed to talk the last morning of Gallifrey, but haven't since. I paged her when I got home and we page chatted then. But no response/ability to get a hold of her in about 48 hours now. Which isn't that big a deal at all, considering the logistics and locations we're dealing with, but I've gotten used to my daily Patty and so am a bit bummed and a bit concerned. All is surely well though. And hey, she'll be home in less than a month now!

Yesterday I felt truly awful. There was a heaviness in my chest and I worried I was getting really sick. That seems to have abated though, much to my intense relief.

It seems nice out today, but I haven't left the house yet.

New arc with Kali has been started, although it doesn't quite have a name yet. Everyone is very different in it.

scorpion!

Talked to Patty. She's fine. Someone on the dig got stung by a scorpion so excitement was afoot (literally).

So on my list of disaster phrases of awesome cadence I now have:

- mauled by a tiger!
- punched by a pirate!
- stung by a scorpion!

Two totally unrelated things

1. Home internet down. posting from mobile. if you're expecting anything from me it won't be until tomorrow.

2. Watching that brothel show on HBO. Cathouse? the thing about the moonlight bunny ranch? well, this is apparently the musical review episode. to which i say: what the fuck? also only one of them can sing.
