The day the world went insane

Israel/Hamas

Boss Speared by Fired Workers

Plague of crickets in U.S.

Phony airline

Chicken recalled for containing glass

Chem student trips, Haz-Mat called out

From the sad to the bizarre. Isn't this a lot of strangeness for one day? Full moon or not.

Today's adventure

I realized today that I was going to be near Laughing Buddha, and that I've been wanting a rook piercing for some time, and that if I did it on payday, I wouldn't end up spending the money on something else and not being able to get the piercing. So--it's done. Funny how solid the decision was once I made it, and how I only told one person beforehand. ::waves at imagefactory:: So--surprise!

Robert is always the one who does my piercings at Laughing Buddha, and I do recommend his work. And I have to say, after the nostril piercing, nothing else really hurts. ;-) So I've got a silver ring with a fluorite bead--they let you choose the bead, and they're all real semiprecious stones. I'd thought a barbell might be more comfortable, but Robert said it wouldn't make much difference; the $20 difference in price mattered to me, though.

So if you see me out, ask to see it! I'll be more than happy to show it off.



Now I get to figure out how to sleep on that side and talk on the phone without hurting my ear. Although maybe I can just avoid talking on the phone and have a good excuse for a change. I like that idea...
