Amazing Kreskin!

Didn't realize that parts of my last entry were going to be so appropriate....
So, Monday I call in my refill for my pain meds, like I do every month. Have to be "Diligent", since you can't fill one earlier than 4 days before you run out and my MD is only available one day a week. 3 hrs later I get a call from the clinic telling me that the state has done it again and come up with a new "hoop" for me to "jump" through. Thanks to all the Redneck Druggies, from now on only MDs trained in Pain Management will be able to prescribe in the health dept system. After all, if they were Trustworthy, they wouldn't be Poor! Well, for my county there is ONE MD that is. 1 to cover an entire county. And I have 3 days left.
I'm on the "Emergency" list if there's a cancellation, otherwise the next apt is the 28th...a couple weeks after my last med.
The Buddhists are looking more and more Right on this "Life is Suffering" deal.
Cheers,
Pat

Series Recommendation, 'A Certain Scientific Railgun'....

This charming, entertaining Anime is good....not great. It's not profound/different/etc to create fanboy-type devotion, IMO;>. It is, however just the sort of entertainment folks in my situation NEED.
'ACSR'(doesn't translate well into English;>)is the story of 4 junior high girlfriends, 3 with Psychic Powers. Set in Academy City, a planned community created by the Japanese gov't to train and nurture the cream of their society. The sadly charming thing about this high tech metro is that ALL the technology presented is that which we already have. One of my favs are the wind turbines throughout the city that take the wind gusts generated by highrises to generate Electricity FOR them. Obviously, with a super CCTV type system there's no worry about helicopters hitting them;>!
The "Railgun" referred to in the title is the Power of one of the girls. She has the power of manipulating magnetic fields and takes coins and accelerates them at tremendous speed. Considering a coin the size of an American nickel creates a crater that you could lose a bus in, fairly fast....
A "Potato Chips" type Anime...yummy but with little substance actually taken in.
Cheers,
Pat
