It was a rough day. I had major insomnia last night stemming from my seemingly infected tooth and stubborn refusal to take ibuprofen. I didn’t sleep at all and Thursday is my major day of classes. Seven or eight hours of lecture. I had some minor in-class triumphs and talked to some new people through my exhausted state, massive migraine and periodically exploding tooth. By the time I arrived home this evening I was rubbing my head and practically staggering. I know I need to see the dentist but I just paid my second term tuition bill and January rent. Brokeified.
It is no secret why I received 13 comments or so today/yesterday, my most since the day after the U.S. election (by the way, I still puzzle about why I received my all-time high that day. I haven’t even come close to that number of hits since. My bitter rant must have been linked by a popular Liberal who felt my pain.) Anyway instead of physical pacing, I went through a mental pacing exercise of commenting on practically all of the 1979 webring from 3 to 4am. Some of the comments were kind, some were smarmy and condescending, some were funny and the rest were probably nonsensical.
I’m putting another one up because I absolutely love them. Lois is always marrying something.

Well I hope you feel better all over.
I feel your pain about classes. My Thursdays are KILLER!!! 5 classes (4 lectures and a section). Tuesdays are just as bad (3 lecures and a 4 hour lab). UGH!!!!!!
That monster marrying Lois is kind of cute. Like one of those crazy anime character’s pets or something.

Did you write Billy Connoly on my site? Isn’t he the Scottish guy who replaced the original teacher on “Head of the Class”? What bit of randomness is that?
Wonder Woman is always marrying someone,too, by the way. Only in the old ones, though.

Old comic books make me giggle! Hope you feel better. I could never understand why dentist work was never covered under OHIP. I mean, your teeth are part of your overall health.

That is really funny. 🙂 I’m sorry about your tooth though, that thing needs to quit it! I’ll yell at it for you, if you want 🙂 Don’t ask, it’s 6:45 in the morning, and I’m not too awake. Oh and in resposnse to your comment, I’ve always called them touch buggies, ever since I was little. See, my mom didn’t want my brother and I to slug each other, so we were allowed to touch each other, like in tag. So, I didn’t even know they were really slug bugs until I was ten or so…but by then, I had the habit of calling them touch bugs. And the story isn’t exactly a story, it’s what really happened to me… anyway (gosh, I’m long winded in the morning) I hope you continue to get lots of comments, you’re a really good writer and you deserve it! 🙂
