February 1st was the day for my bi-annual MRI scan, as part of a study. I'm in the machine for well over an hour each time.
Fortunately, I'm not claustrophobic, because the machine has you strapped into a narrow area. It's also incredibly loud... yet I sleep through most of my time in the machine anyways. :)
I come out though wondering why I bothered to wash my hair beforehand. I still come out with major bed-head.

Memories can be held in objects. Sometimes, they break.
I sometimes have clumsy episodes that result in a dish getting broken; usually, it isn't something that happens more often that once a year. Now it's happened twice in a month - and for two items that held special significance to me:
Early in January, I broke a bowl that was part of the dishware that bubie Ann used to have.
She died in the summer of 1988... these dishes are all I have left of her - and now, I have one less.
Tonight I broke another bowl - one that happened to be the only thing I bought in 1986, when I first had an apartment to myself. The store I purchased it at is long gone; now, after 14 years, so is the dish.
Memories can be held in objects. Sometimes, they break. I just hope the memories don't break with them.

The clock is ticking away on my contract at work... March 2nd it ends, and I've had no word of it continuing. I have been following a schedule to get this Website finished before then however...
I have to spruce up my resumé now, start pushing for a job elsewhere. I won't let this 11 months working just be a temporary lull between Unemployment and Welfare cheques...

SurvivorBlog 2. Yup, just as the second series is about to begin, a weBlog version is online. Funny how Ernie had stated he wouldn't do one again. *smile*
Speaking of Survivor 2: I still haven't decided if I'll watch it or not. I didn't watch the first one, after all. I generally make a point of avoiding trends in the media - which is why I have yet to watch a single episode of The West Wing, despite friends recommending it often. One thing I doubt I'll ever watch is Titanic... I loatheCeline Dion to begin with, and I grew sick of all the buzz around that film.
