Takotsubo cardiomyopathy – Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

 

this may explain why my heart is hammering, spasming, fluttering, skipping, and stopping periodically, lately.  i can feel it stop: i get dizzy; then it races to catch up.  i’ve been moderately dizzy most of the time for about the last two weeks. a [...]

The Seven Deadly Sites

 

 

actually i haven’t been a terribly sloth-ridden internet victim lately; i just haven’t been very social about what i’ve been up to. briefly:

- lots of craft

- lots of craft

- lots of craft, and also some DIY and some home improvement

- a little reading

- oddly, a [...]

Vespa by ~hennatea on deviantART.

just in case we forgot that scoot stuff does go here.

quick update: i am still desperately ill – it appears that either [a] i spoke too soon about not getting hammered as badly with this particular Ick as Mr. Tillinghast [...]

Tetanus Burger and other things

i’m still really enjoying this blog about these two sisters’ battle, rectifying their hoarder dad’s mess which they inherited.

Tetanus Burger.

i have the symptoms and the tendencies. i watch myself as carefully as i can.but i build nests, and make piles, and they get out of control if i don’t keep a constant watch [...]

HEY FLUFFY

remember this bitch?

i still have two of these. (yes. i rarely throw things away, and i have been moving into ever larger and larger houses ALL THIS TIME, with corresponding enlargements of storage capacity, and at this point it is truly horrifying.)

i’m growing into her. except, y’know, i have a [...]

little hiatus

slightly crazy things going on in Life right now. need a little break. i may elaborate when i come back. or i may not. it’s kind of lifealtering.

if i want you to know, you’ll know.

Scooter Graveyard

somewhere in arizona, there’s a man who’s hoarding scoots.

jen thinks this is ok.

i am horrified.

Scooter Graveyard (70) by Jen Zohn. ran across it via scootin’ old skool, which you should check out if you don’t read it already.

in other news, in case you have somehow missed me yammering [...]

everything’s fine!

y los todos estan sueños; y los sueños sueño son.

so very tired.

Ali MacLean: Hey, Have You Heard of That Horrible Show Called Fox News?.

i don’t know whether this chick actually hangs around with people this vapid, or if maybe the massive inanity is something she habitually channels every day, and this piece isn’t actually novel or clever enough for me to care which it is: [...]

updata 2010-11-08

this has been, for us, the kind of extended and picturesque fall you never see except in movies. the leaves fall with reluctance, the cold comes with apologies; there has been no snow. it’s the most beautiful fall i’ve ever seen in my life, because all my life before i moved here, i lived in [...]

domestic partnership. *muttley wheezing*

so, cats and kittens, the below is one of the first images that comes up in googleimage if you search the term “domestic partner.”

i feel like it’s WHOA OMG WHAT THAT’S KIND OF EPICALLY UNHAPPY. i bet you feel that too if you look at it for a minute, which really isn’t necessary.

nota bene

i’ve been gone for a while, as you may have noticed.

due to, among other things, technical issues, a heavily dreary winter, financial turmoil, and plain overcommittment. i’m not sure the latter will change: i rather like having my fingers in a lot of pies. so i’m going to attempt to compartmentalize: scooter stuff, general [...]

cruel summer

it’s been too wet to ride much lately, at least recreationally, and the rest of the time i’m being kept busy — really busy — by work. this is a good thing, but it keeps me from blogging much, because when i come home i just want to hang out semi-conscious on the balcony and [...]

work woe.

there’s nothing i hate more than busywork. and there’s a lot of it in content management.

not that i can get any of it done, because i have to keep taking time out of my schedule to do things like, oh, babysit jobs at the printshop in person, because the print staff cannot figure out [...]

wednesday thinsday

chiefly because i can’t eat, evidently.

i’m reasonably certain i have a duodenal ulcer.  it’s painful to eat: it’s painful not to eat: it’s painful to drink water. this may come as a surprising surprise to those of you who assume the lack of remarkability in my online output is a function of, well, as [...]

in which @scooterism tries to figure out exactly what is and isn’t welcome at a ‘vintage-only’ rally

Modern Vespa : – SCOOT INVASION IV – LOS ANGELES – JULY 10-12 – VINTAGE.

i quote:

I have a very nice Rally 200, but I don’t own a parka, bomber jacket, flight jacket, Harrington, or any Ben Sherman or Fred Perry stuff. I also don’t have any patches. Or decals. Also, I think ska [...]
