Earworm Wednesday

nobody@vox.com(Rockr & Junkii) — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 15:19:20 -0500

Earworm Wednesday

I've become a big fan of Glee. I've always enjoyed the show, but it seems more and more to be coming into its own - or maybe I'm just getting used to the frenetic pace of it. Whatever the reason, I love it. One of the songs they did has been stu...

So it’s not a corneal ulcer. After more than an hour of waiting - time spent perusing my Vietnam travel book - I finally got in to see the eye specialist this morning. She took one look with her microscope and decided it wasn't an ulcer. She s...

Corneal Ulcer

nobody@vox.com(Rockr & Junkii) — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 15:19:13 -0500

For the past two days I've felt like there's something in my right eye. But after long inspections in the mirror, I still couldn't find anything. But I knew that feeling. Last time I had it, it was worse. It felt like I had a grain of sand in my...

nobody@vox.com(Rockr & Junkii) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 11:17:38 -0400

I wore a wig to work today, to help get me into the spirit for tomorrow night's wig party. I wore Junkii's pompadour wig from last year (Well, I wasn't about to reveal this year's wig just yet, now was I?!)and got a few great laughs when I arrive...
