First the annoying: I ran out of medication unexpectedly so had to tire myself going to the dr, pay $60 consultation fee, and $30 extra for the wrong size packet (thanks again to The Worlds Most Incompetent Doctor)...only to get home and find the other packet hiding in the other side of the bathroom cabinet. bah.

And now the happy:

  • Dawntreader is back yay!!
  • I KISSED A GIRL: This has to be the slashiest het vid ever :) Smallville, Clark/Lex and Clark/Every Girl Ever (Was that Poison Ivy?) Is it clever editing, or has the show really turned into "Lets come up with excuses to get Clark topless"? I think it gets a repetitive by the end but it amused me.
  • Apparently I am well known at my local library as "The woman who reserves the interesting books", one of the librarians said she's gone on to borrow some of them herself. This makes me happy :)
  • small tin peaches+ cup water + cup sugar makes for easy and tasty sorbet. Though I think I'll go for less water and sugar next time.


It's funny, that song annoys the hell out of me when sung from a female POV, but amuses me no end from a male POV. I wonder if the vidder had seen the Paul McDermott version?

pay $60 consultation fee,

?

How can any GP justify charging $60 for a standard consultation, especially when they then go on and stuff up a simple repeat prescription?

*boggles*

one of the librarians said she's gone on to borrow some of them herself. This makes me happy :)

Hell, it'd make me ecstatic, not just happy. =)

My GP is $55 or $60 also. and I only get $33 or so back too. It's crap. Although, I just got my pension back so hopefully I can convince them to bulk bill me :)

And to pay it just to get a prescription, which the doc filled in wrong? that's really anoying and I'd be ringing the surgury and letting them know that you want to come pick up the correct script at a convenient time for you.

Always good to have Librarians reading what you like to borrow because you borrowed it.

I know! They were cheaper last time I was there. My regular doctor bulk bills, thankfully.

That song does immediately become awesome when sung from a male point of view. Someone needs to record a proper guy cover of it (Like a Version, I'm looking at you).

The other "I kissed a girl" doesn't translate anywhere near so well :)

Well no, because it's actually a good song with good lyrics as it is. At least as far as I remember them anyway XD that's why I get so irritated when people assume it's the same song. It's not because Katy Perry is singing it that it's bad, it's because of the lyrics.

Yeah, there's nothing to the Katy Perry lyrics so they can mean almost anything, the Jill Sobule ones actually tell a story.

You really need to change doctors :P

Try finding a good one that's taking new patients. It took over 12 months for me to get in at Gwelup Doctors Clinic. All the others around were pretty hard to get into also.

Oh, I have. I just saw this guy because I (thought I was) out of medication and it really can't wait.
