It has been a day for precious bodily fluids. ( Medical TMI )

On the other hand, I will say that the UW Medical Clinic's new Surgery Pavilion, where the urology examination happened, is one hell of a lovely building. I don't normally like steel and glass as primary architectural themes-- take one look at the Seattle Library with it's cold ugliness and you'll see why-- but the spiral staircase was encased in white, frosted glass that felt calm and clean (good things for a hospital), and the exterior walls were floor-to-ceiling clear which brought in a healthy dose of sunlight and gave cheerful views of the green garden. The doors were made with pale pine and steel-framed glass, and everything was labeled in an obvious way. Kudos to the architect.

Then, this evening, after getting home from being poked and prodded, I tried to make coleslaw and hot dogs, and damn near cut my left index finger off when the knife slipped. I haven't done that in a decade. Fortunately, it wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been-- I lost a little skin, but some antibiotic ointment and a bandage later, and I'm fine.

When I was putting Kouryou-chan to bed this evening, I found a sheet from a coloring book on the floor, and on one side were cute and fuzzy bugs, and on the other was a crowd of girls all surrounding one with a certain fruit printed on her clothing. "Oh look," said I. "It's Strawberry ShortSlut and friends!" That just about cracked up Omaha.

And under cool things done with Linux, I can now play-- and finish!-- Unreal under Linux. Huzzah! I'm debating spending the $15 for Cedega, which might (might!) allow me to run things like Grand Theft Auto, Tron, and BloodRayne under Linux as well.
