Eredien's Journal

Not a joke: the heat in my apartment is out again. I would complain to the landlord, only my roommate still hasn't given me the contact info. Of course this happens just as I'm starting to recover from the two-week mystery sickness. And 3 feet of snow get dumped on the ground. ...Can't I have nice things yet? At least Tokai has some nice heat pads.

In other news, does anyone have recommendations of doctors around Davis that take MassHealth? I am thinking about getting at least a second opinion for the upper respiratory/ear crap that has been plaguing me on and off for a solid year now.

Also, in another kind of health, does anyone I know want to do a tarot reading for me? I know that's a little weird, but it's something that I'd like to try. My usual methods of figuring out what's going on with my life and subconscious aren't working really well--or rather are telling me things I already know in an endless loop that it's doing me no good to think about on waking--and I think it might be useful to bring in a different set of symbols, and one less finely-honed to me. A trepanning, rather than a blood-type-matched transfusion. I've never really done tarot before, except once, and it didn't work too well; the person doing it had to switch from cards to stones. It might be a little...weird.

- I got thrush again, I'm pretty sure. Dammit.

- Article summarizing the increased use of pork as a demonstration/weapon against Muslims in America.

This is the second time in a month I've come across a discussion of "forbidden food as deliberate act of sabotage." I'm thinking this is going to become more and more common for minorities of all stripes and types. I wonder how long it will be until someone dies of allergens slipped deliberately into their food as an act of retaliation (if it hasn't already happened. Feel free to write about this idea).

- I watched the movie "Cars." Pixar can make me care about cars. Pixar is awesome.

- rm and sovay, this is for you: The stop-motion animation geniuses the Brothers Quay are shooting a film at Philadelphia's Mutter Museum ("the museum of medical oddities," one of the most creepy and awesome museums on the planet).
