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!

Yay Nick!

Not the non-kosher kind, I hope.

Which I think we gathered from your ability to post.

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.

Someone doing some embalming in your class?

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.

Oh, Shush

actually I don't think it is...they stopped using formaldehyde for preservation a while ago, causes cancer.

What doesn't?

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.

With all the talk of the undead around you, take nothing for granted

More writing finished up and posted. Wohoo!

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.

ya, I'm noticing a definate trend there Mikey, and it's not in your favor...just make sure you keep wakin' up.
