Woohoo Nose Tampon Gone!!

Three Hours in the ER again (most of them spent waiting for Triage, then for Intake and Billing, then for the Doctor, Three whole seconds to rip it out of my nose, then another hour and a half waiting for the discharge papers…) and the Nose Tampon is Gone!! I can now breathe again…and now, I get to see the ENT Specialist on Wednesday. Thanksgiving is Thursday…which will be an interesting, interesting time (look for a post about that, as well as Toronto, in short order).

Ali (lilali) is driving up Today and we’re driving down to Long Island together; Long Island Crew, I’ll be seeing you soon…right now, however, it’s time for a snack, some cartoons, and then some sleep…lots and lots of sleep.

Peace all.

Back from Toronto!

Okay all, we’re back from Toronto, we finished what we needed from this trip (academically), socially however, we’d all like to go back! I really have to say, I love Toronto.

I have a ton to write about (which will come after the unpacking, and laundry, and well…all the stuff that comes after a few days traveling) so you can expect an update later on tonight. However, I have to say, finding Goodhandy’s a couple of weeks ago was awesome – I had more fun there, with down to earth people, than I did at Woody’s or any other club I’ve been too, and I know Brigitte and I can’t wait to go back.

Paper writing will commence tomorrow evening; which is wonderful and Tuesday I head to Long Island for thanksgiving (I get to see my Twin Brother who I haven’t seen in months!) as well as the rest of my family which will be great.

Anyways, time to do that responsible adult thing and unpack, do laundry, and what not and then a full update of spiffy-ness =)

I’m in Toronto

I’m in Toronto, going on about two and a half hours of sleep, heading out with my team to Woody’s since the Sex Club we were at last time currently is having a Trans night so we’re jumping forward to the bar segment of this trip and back to them on Sunday.

I’m so sleepy.

UB provides students with Business Cards through a store on campus called Great Lakes Graphics and Printing for a nominal fee of 25.00. They come in handy when you have to go “no, really, I’m a student at UB…no, I swear…wait, here, here’s my card…” you get a choice of six different student designs, and their graphic designer is more than happy to move things around so it looks snazzy (they do a nice job for any type of custom printing actually, they’re the ones I get my personalized 3×5 index cards from if anyone in the area is looking for a decently priced print shop).

Anyways, I received the proof today. The only thing I had to have them change was the zip code from 14261 to 14260 (my fault, in a twist of irony, my handwriting in Arabic is neater than my handwriting in Hebrew which is far neater than my handwriting in English, which is, for the most part, totally illegible) but otherwise they did a nice job of it (look scarletquill, more proof that I’m a real live New Yorker =P). They required an address so I gave the Linguistics Student Lounge, given that there’s a mailbox in there for me, that I occasionally glance at while…lounging. We should decorate it for the holidays, that could be fun. I don’t even know why I’m on such a “let’s decorate for the holidays kick” other than the fact that I really just want to sit around and cut out snowflakes.

Anyways, here’s what it looks like:

Friday’s game plan is pretty simple:

Class from 11 to Noon; then at around 3:30 it’s the UBULS meeting, then at around 6:00PM Brigitte and I are heading back to Toronto, checking into the Hostel on Church Street, changing, getting some dinner, and collecting more data. Saturday we’re sleeping in at the hostel, then research at a different venue on Saturday Night, then Sunday is Formal Interviews and research at the Control Venue and then home…though I have to see if I can make the AN meeting as well…then Monday and Tuesday are Class, Tuesday night I drive home with lilali to Long Island; Wednesday is spent doing work and finishing required charts, Thursday is spent getting intimate with a Turkey, Friday is spent working off the intimacy, Saturday I’m having lunch with some friends, and somewhere in there I’m told that we’re going to see Hairspray (which i’ve wanted to see for awhile) so I have no idea when that is.

Okay, back to sleep, I need to get up at 9a so I can finish vacuuming and doing laundry and all that jazz before it’s time to go home for Thanksgiving. I have some actual important stuff to write about, but that can come later.

Peace all.
