Every time I look at my weirdly distended belly

I wonder when the alien is going to erupt out of it.

Massive Personal Finance List

From [livejournal.com profile] get_rich_slowly: At a blog called "The Frugal Law Student" Brett has pulled together a ton of useful stuff here, including online money management tools, offline software, investing tools, spreadsheets, books, and more. Well worth bookmarking.

Tarot reading on creativity

Using the William Blake deck, apparently developed for examining creative undertakings. This website says it is the deck of choice for artists, writers, musicians and thinkers. My question, using the Creative Process spread is:

What is blocking my creativity?

Expotition coordinator for tonight?

Is there anyone interested in taking a fragile post-surgical Peg out for a little bit this evening? It would be a definite mitzvah. Friday night is my usual night out, and I'd like to escape the house for a little while. Because of the Vicodin, I can't drive, and obviously, no alcohol or rock climbing will be involved. I probably wouldn't want to make it a very late evening. Suggestions (low budget)? I might be up for a quiet evening at a coffee shop listening to some pleasant music, and conversation with a friend. Other ideas?

Edited to add: [livejournal.com profile] carbonel has come up with a group of friends who will be gathering together with me tonight. Thanks, [livejournal.com profile] carbonel!

Forehead slap

That appalling noise you hear is caused by the spinning plates turning into falling and shattering crockery.

I forgot. What with the surgery and recovery, I entirely forgot. Fiona was supposed to attend the citywide black belt test tonight, to be the partner of a girl who was testing, so that she could hold the pad and be the subject of self-defense moves, etc. I am absolutely mortified. Rob called me at 6:30 to ask about it; apparently they said something at the dojo about it when Fiona turned up for class. She was supposed to be across town at 6:00 p.m. I left a groveling message of apology on sensei's cell phone (of course he wasn't answering it because the testing was going on), asking that he please not hold this against Fiona. It was my fault.

I am so humiliated.

Edited to add: Okay, okay, everyone, message received. My job this week is recovering from surgery, and I am given a pass on my usual job of running the universe. Fiona got to the test late, but was still able to help Jackie out, who successfully passed the test.

Edited to add again: It was written on the calendar.

Edited to add yet again: Ahem. PLEASE QUIT SCOLDING ME.
