A Change of Scenery

January 30th, 2004
Amber's started bringing guys back to our room. I'm suddenly even more glad that Hal is in town, I'll have to see if he minds me bringing in my homework to do in his room.
Just like old times.

O Fortuna

January 23rd, 2004
Harold Della'Alba is stalking me. Not really, but kinda. He transferred to Alta Bates for some new, experimental and mostly theoretical treatment being performed in collaboration with UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco.
He hadn't called in a while, and I was starting to worry. I decided to call him. I was on break, standing next to the nurse's station and talking to Alma. I pulled my phone out of my pocket and dialed his number.
"O Fortuna!" began playing in the room across the hallway. I hung up. I waited. The opera stopped.
I dialed again.
"Sors immanis, et inanis..." I hung up and poked my head into the room.
"Well, hey there peach. Long time, no see."

Bigger Blessings

Happy New Year!
Here's my resolution: I'm going to try. Try to be better, stronger, faster. No one else I'm supposed to protect is going to end up like those kids in Kabul.
