On another note, this weekend I start moving into my own place. Starting to look forward to it, but I DREAD the actual moving and....oh lord....the packing.

And now, according to my calculations, Nicks "crew" now NEARLY has the Admins/Mods outnumbered at 8/7. I think he IS trying to take over the world! :worried:

Yay Nick!

I'd like to show a quick example of one of the, slightly, stranger conversations Nick, Tofulord and I have had in thier computer graphics class.

Tofulord- "Do you guys smell something?"

Me- "That would be the fermaldahyde..."

Nick- "Heheh fermalda- Wait! What?!"

True story, happened on wednesday.
Maybe you shouldn't be poking that...

That was hilarious, and I was genuinely confused as to why you would smell like fermaldahyde, unless you were undead, Which you didn't look, lol

No, you'd smell it if you were near an undead creature. Or just a dead one. Or a Budweiser brewery.

Gentlemen, the chemical to which you refer is formaldehyde.

actually I don't think it is...they stopped using formaldehyde for preservation a while ago, causes cancer.
In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

hrmm, glad i wore gloves.

As to the reason why i smelled like something recently risen from the grave, my Human Anotomy class was dissecting sheep brains and eyes, being as they are an inexpensive and reasonably similiar to the human equivalent. The smell of what ever preservative chemical they use really starts to burn the nostrils after awhile.

Aside from that working, and abusing my AutoCAD privileges.

Lantus (insulin) update:

First night with the new juice: woke up, had a pre-prandial (before meal) glucose reading of 113 mg/dL ("normal" is generally considered between 80 - 120.) Woo-hoo!

Second night: woke up, had a pre-prandial of 62. Shaky, hazy, but had a snack before my actual breakfast and was OK.

Third night: woke up at 2:00 am with cold sweats, very shaky and dizzy. Didn't even take a reading, but AFTER eating an entire bag of Sugar Babies had a reading of 144. Probably means I was in the 40's or 50's before.

Fourth night: we'll see, I guess - but chances are tending toward taking the whole insulin pen and shoving it up my endocrinologist's ass sideways.
