Rest in peace, Larry Townsend.

aftermath

I'm back at work, and waiting for tonight to be over, so that I can take the first of the Vicodin I've been prescribed; for the last week, I've been dealing via some painkillers I had left over from another medical situation. It worked well enough at controlling pain, but led to such complications as my apparently e-mailing childhood friends out of the blue (I have no memory of this; happily, I don't seem to have said anything embarrassing), and royally mangling "The Kick Inside" at piano bar the other night. So, yeah- probably a good idea to wait until my shift is over. It hurts, but it's tolerable; having it (finally!) be over is a Very Good Thing. I'll probably be keeping a fairly low profile over the next few weeks; this really wore me out.

water on Mars

NASA scientists said on Thursday they had definitive proof that water exists on Mars after further tests on ice found on the planet in June by the Phoenix Mars Lander.
