The dilution of holist with holist amongst the not-holist is both adding more holist but reducing true holist. In effect holist is making concetrated homeopathic holist.

Theoretically, you only need the MEMORY of Holist.  So he could leave right now.

THis could be a test of the emergency holistic services to see which is more painful, holist, or the memory of holist.

So, I suddenly need dental work. If my guess is correct I need two root canals, and I've needed my lower wisdom teeth put for a long time. Its been years since Ive been able to drink dark beer.

Now, I'm on a mostly liquid diet.  :cry:

Student loan money is coming up. I could spend half of it on dental care here OR I could spend half of it on dental care in sunny Costa Rica AND get out of this iceberg of a city for a week.


Hmmmmm....

This is true. The only way for him to be truly effective is for no measurable trace of him to remain.

Hmmmmm....

Costa Rica. Definitely Costa Rica.

Dammit, I just realized that I could have spent the money I spent on fillings here on a plane ticket  to Mexico and fillings there. :(

Commando Banner in sight.

I have become scarily proficient with the Turian soldier, to the point I pretty much deserve the title of Commando.  For a while I was rocking a Hurricane SMG/Scorpion heavy pistol combo, but I was severely suffering when it came to larger maps, so I swapped the latter for the Viper sniper rifle.

All of a sudden, I'm beating the crap out of everything at every possible range.  I got lucky too, with a few random maps that have some open areas perfect for sniping.  And playing Reapers didn't hurt....headshot the first Cannibal so it goes down instantly, then let the rest start to eat its corpse.  Fire the proxy mine and then another couple of rounds for anything still twitching.   I think in one particular match, I managed to close more than a few rounds in under a minute, on my own.

Shame I've done all the extractions I need with him, as I was starting to enjoy beating the infiltrators on headshots and sniper kills in the scoreboard.

It's pretty fucking horrible when we look to healthcare in another country than our own because it's cheaper. I was told to go to Costa Rica to get my gallbladder removed, because even with the flight and hospital bills, it would be about a third of what it would cost in the US without insurance.

My friend came within inches of losing his mother to bacterial meningitis in 48 fucking hours. She fell randomly, they got her to the hospital and found heart problems, more tests concluded what it was and they were able to get her stabilized.

Jesus.

Fucking.

Christ.

I've watched meningitis rip through high schools in Florida, but you don't hear about it too much up here. Goddamn, diseases scare the fucking shit out of me. Especially ones that can kill you in 24-48 hours. Ung, that makes me want to get a meningitis shot right now at Walgreens.

Bacterial meningitis almost killed my sister, and left her with brain damage. She's never going to be fit to work ever. It's taken 8 years for some of the damage to her frontal cortex to repair itself... She gets mini-strokes still.

It's some nasty shit, that.

We must remember to do the magic homeopathy shake on holist. If not it won't work. Because it forgets without magic shaking.

MOTHERFUCKING DRELL SNIPERS



Not my pic, but bored of Drell Vanguard, so I re-specc'd.  Well, no, that's not strictly true.  You can never be bored of Drell Vanguard.  Every game with him is a pant-wetting, terrifying roller-coaster ride of taking the weakest character in the game and having him slam into the enemy's face at maximum velocity.

Frequently, the enemy dies, especially when you then throw grenades at your feet and run away, but frequently you also die.

So I'm down with the idea of using Pull to lift enemies helplessly into the air and then fire a bullet through the head.  That's my type of fighting: the unfair kind.

You and several other people I know managed to score tickets for that. I did get tickets for the Who in Providence and KMFDM in March, but not as cool as NICK CAVE.

Having managed to bork my whole winter schedule because I thought I needed calculus for a biology degree, I re-read the requirements. It doesn't say statistics AND calculus. It says statistics OR calculus. :|

Two things:

1.  Calculus makes everything better.  And by "better", I mean, "your entire life goes away for a term".

2.  This is divine retribution for A)  Not paying attention, and B)  Taking the bees thing out of your sig.  That was the only thing keeping the sideways people away.  YOU FOOL!

Now I'm thinking of applying at Reed. Because I can, and why not? If I get in then I'll have a degree from Reed.

Plus I could be the big mom on campus. That, actually, would be quite weird.
