soooo, my bathroom upstairs flooded two weeks ago. we replaced the toilet (oooo pressurized flush!), and i thought i'd managed to clean up most of the water. one humid and rainy week later, it looks like the carpet pad is kaput. currently carpet and pad are pulled up with fan going. i'll be doing the bleach spray routine while i scour discount flooring stores for carpet pad remnants. and a cheap knee-kicker.

manthing got laid off this week, with no job offers in the four months he's been looking. and without recent work experience and references, i'm not having any luck landing even a part-time job. boooooo. but we've got some savings, so it's not tragic. yet.

now brother is in hospital. he's been having back pain, they did an MRI and found a spot on his spine. biopsy was today. doc thinks it's an infection, so we are carefully hopeful that is all it is. and it hasn't spread to his heart. even if he will still need a PICC line and two months of antibiotic treatments.

may i courteously ask that no more problems come this way for a bit? please? my plate's full and i've got an upset stomach. i can't eat anymore.

OMG ya'll, I WROTE something... and it's finished (although there might be more).

Title: Improper Use of Needles
Fandom: Naruto
Characters: Iruka, Genma, Kotetsu, and shhh, it's a surprise...
Genre: Kinda crack
Rating: R-ish, maybe a little higher
Warnings: Language, perverted use of medical equipment
Disclaimer: I don't own Naruto. Masashi Kishimoto does, along with whatever other people/entities are along for the ride.

Summary: Genma says he can do something with his senbon. Kotetsu says no way. Iruka gets caught in the middle. Again. (basically gratuitous Iruka-abuse)

( Iruka learns a valuable lesson - if Genma says he can do something with his senbon, better to just agree and get on with your life. )

one busy weekend. i am a party animal. and am no longer slightly deaf.

( Necrofaith... again )

Nope... what have I been doing?

NecroFaith - give love to the local boys

this made me laugh: I have a particular affection for the play Lysistrata, because the first version of it I saw was an absolutely magical production involving not only brilliant social commentary but incredibly impressive penis puppets. from About.com's STD blog

i have SD card. so pictures may come and go from phone. and music. hello, 21st century. prepare to be deluged. frack, i have not forgotten the scary doll pics...

aum vakratundaya hum - damn, it works. really.

that is all...

i haven't been to a real concert in... oh hush, a long time. last one was the offspring, i was 7months preggers. was supposed to go see the offspring again last fall, but hurricane ike decided to come and kick us around.

( nobiki pretends she is single again )

synopsis - nickelback rocks harder than i expected. and i shouldn't go home after a concert. it leads to hurt feelings and disappointment.
