allfireburnsWe did not, in fact, drive to California yesterday, because Schwab is dumb and told us we had more money available then we did. And when it turns out we didn't, they were unable to transfer the money to where we could get it because it was the day before a holiday and their computers were shut down or some bullshit like that. So, no money for gas - or, you know, food - until Tuesday.
It's probably just as well that we didn't make the drive yesterday, because by around eight last night the pain in my ear and jaw and... okay, the whole left side of my face had gotten so bad I was on the verge of tears. So we got to make a visit to the ER - which, by the way, is my least favorite thing ever - and wait for hours while I whimpered in pain until finally they gave us more antibiotics and some tramadol.
The tramadol does take the pain down from literally incapacitating to just mildly agonizing, however, it also wears off every four hours like clockwork (I know this because I woke up every four hours almost on the dot), it makes me even more nauseous and dizzy than I was, and I only have enough for three days, so if the pain hasn't gone down significantly by then, I am going to kill things.
So I'm lying in bed now, in the hopes that being horizontal will help the nausea and dizziness, and kind of miserable. I can has happy things, internets? Recs to happy fics or pretty musics or... I dunno, kittens... Anything to distract me right now would be much appreciated.

Date: 2009-07-04 04:27 pm (UTC)If you haven't read Endless Winter Mile (http://www.angelfire.com/blog/shadesofbrixton/winter.html) yet, I still swear by this fic, if you have the time to read what is essentially a small novel. IT HAS APOCALYPSES IN IT and features minor characters in major roles... And is kind of INSANE when you get to the end. And Sydney does a fire extinguisher dance.
Okay. The rest of that was as follows:
There's also Wouldn't Be Cricket (http://vaznetti.livejournal.com/186409.html), which is just fucking adorable, and I'll stop reccing Alias fics now and move onto something else. XD
you the queen of this strange city (http://fated-addiction.livejournal.com/314304.html) is an ADORABLE PD fic (and I love the writer's style so much that checking out any of her PD stuff is worth a read). And if you haven't read The Tin Can and Jug Band Plays Songs of Life and Death (http://velocityofsound.livejournal.com/239539.html), this will ALWAYS be my personal canon for how PD ended/ends.
And, as far as music is concerned, what is your Foucault situation? Do you have "Thistledown Tears?" Because THAT ONE is so apocalyptic and it makes me so happy.

Date: 2009-07-04 06:22 pm (UTC)There weren't as many as I thought there was, but still. HAVE SOME PRETTY MUSICS, including new Foucault. ^^

Date: 2009-07-04 06:24 pm (UTC)Did you say kittens?
Date: 2009-07-04 04:45 pm (UTC)"You're scary!"
There is agreement.
Then there is running...
...and hiding.
Now they play and are generally cute.
"OMG YOUR TAIL IS THE COOLEST TOY EVAR."
Kittens see a squirrel.
"MAMA!"
A much more chill, "Oh hey, Mama". It should be said these kittens have no idea who their mother is. But you know, two mommies are better than one.
