Interests meme

Via kunstarniki.

Interests meme: Look at your LJ interests list. If you have fewer than 50 interests, pick every fifth one. If you have between fifty and seventy-five interests, pick every seventh one. If you have over seventy-five interests, pick every tenth one. If you have fewer than ten, pick all of 'em. List them on your LJ, and tell everyone exactly what it is about these things that interests you so much.

shoulder update

I just got back from the doctor, who checked my range of motion and was pleased with what she saw. But she ordered another three weeks of the bondage contraption, along with light exercises before bedtime. Then I'll go back for another check-up. We'll talk physical therapy at that point -- she said it's too soon now, because the excerise PT would put me through is too vigerous until I get back some more stability on my own.

I like the doctor; she is a brisk, no-nonsense sort who seems to know what she's talking about. I got scheduled with a different person at first, but the new doctor insisted that consistancy of care was too important, that I shouldn't be seen by a different person every time, and she got everyone's schedule rearranged on the fly. An HMO miracle! I had to wait an extra ten minutes but it was worth it.

Only a week of immobilization was too much to ask for, I suppose. Oh well, I will live.

It's back...

The inclusion of "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance has once again been ruled unconstitutional.

I wonder if it will stick this time.

I usually think of September as the first month of summer in San Francisco (although it's been unseasonably cold this year, overcast and chilly for the last week at least), but I'm reminded that it's really not, because on the nights I work until 8pm it's now full dark when I leave the office. A taste of winter a few months early.

It occurs to me that this may be the first time I've gone longer than a week without posting any new fiction (except for time periods where travel took me away from writing) since I started putting my work on FFN. It feels very strange.
