For those of you still waiting with bated breath for the results. I had to call the neurologist, ask him to get back to me.
He called: the EEG was perfectly normal. Nothing odd showed.
We’re supposed to see him again in 6 months for a follow-up.

So, I’m doing my part as a loyal little card-carrying (yes! I got a card in the mail today!) DNC foot soldier to go out and there and valiantly freep* the online polls to the benefit of My Candidate. I did it for all three debates, despite not being able to watch a one of them (for a variety of reasons—I have all of them on TiVo though!).
And guess what? Sayonara, online polls: Of the 20 or so sites I’ve clicked on, only one asked who won tonight’s debate. Instead i found instant polls asking me if the debates changed my mind, or if I think domestic affairs or foreign affairs will play more heavily in this election.
I think the answer to who won was a foregone conclusion.
(*Freep comes from “Free Republic,” a truly abhorrent online society of ‘wingers who make the John Birch Society look like the Young Campus Communists. They are notorious for voicing such delightful sentiments as that anyone who doesn’t goosestep with them should be shot as a traitor. They also are fond of voting in online polls en masse—that damn Frenchy talk again—because Wolf Blitzer or whoever would always announce the results of the completely meaningless online poll as though it were handed down from the Mount. So now online polls get “freeped” by both sides. Although Kerry won by gigantic margins in the previous online polls, so maybe there aren’t enough Freepers out there…)

I was reading Atrios this morning, when in the comments section on one thread—I don’t usually read the comments threads, because, well, it’s the same ol’ echo chamber and I have dishes to do, but today I read the comments and boy am I glad I did—someone mentioned Anybirthday.com. For some reason I thought it was one of those lists of famous people’s birthdays, and I’m always interested in who was born on my birthday. So I went there and checked it out.
Oh. My. God.
Everyone’s birthday is on there. Everyone’s. Forget famous people: I’m talking about you and me and that guy over there. Well, I can’t say for sure that mine is, because after paging through several screens of “Diane Patterson” I still hadn’t gotten to mine, but I’m going to assume everyone’s is on there. I looked up several people I know, and their birthdays are sure there, so I’m assuming mine is too.
Everything’s available on us these days. It’s really quite shocking.
