Still a bit fried.

Spent the day completely fried (after I got up again). I'm capable of being at least vaguely functional on various forms of interrupted sleep, but this wasn't one of them.

Got a call from the clinic a little after the installers left to set up an appointment with me for followup on the kidney thing. For tomorrow, which is nice; I'd been meaning to set up an appointment for a while but I wouldn't have gotten one that soon anyway, I'll bet. Didn't get around to it because of the usual phonephobia.

Played a lot of Wizardry 8. It's worth noting that for a while I've been shouting "Attack of the killer Rikers!" at intermittent bits at the gang on Overland, because that's what the marauding thugs look like, really. Finally, I asked oneironaut how to take a screenshot, and with gtst and annwyd's help (and a minor assist from lstone) I produced the image here. See? It's a rampaging killer Riker!

In other miscellaneous notes, I had Altair's Child take front when I was talking to brooksmoses last night. Which was quite odd, because AC never takes front, ever. At least not for more than fleeting moments. She's really in a supporting role most of the time. It was very interesting to have her out and independent for a wee bit; I've got a better handle on her as an entity now, at least. Maybe she'll come out more if I ask.

A vial or two low.

There is an avenging angel, or perhaps a tormenting demon, reserved for doctors who have their patients give two urine tests within fifteen minutes of each other.

Without mentioning the second one at the time of the first.

Well, I got a fair amount of reading about the development of Byzantine dogma done, at least.

And I crave Chinese food something fierce. Good Chinese food, not merely decent Chinese food. Tried to call teinedreugan at the office to ask him to pick something up for me at Mary's, but he'd left already. In fact, he picked me up halfway through my walk home, which means that he probably was nowhere near Cambridge when I tried calling.

On a lighter note, elisem posted one of her occasional conversation-provoking questions, and now I want to know how people would answer it too: What would you put in a bottle to represent me? What would you put in a bottle to represent you?

Oh, yum.

The kyphi I ordered a while back arrived today. Well, it arrived a few days ago, apparently, but teinedreugan remembered to give it to me today.

It smells wonderful. (S'marvelous.)

I think I'm going to light up some more.
