Otter's Rock

Well, I learned how to feed someone using a feeding tube today. This is important, because my grandfather just got one put in, and having someone else who knows how to do it means that Grandma can actually get out of the house once in a while. (The way his feedings are scheduled, there's not really time to go do anything in between them.) Hopefully, by the time I leave for Gettysburg, he won't need the feeding tube any more, because I'm the only one in the family who has a part-time job and so can come over during the daytime to help out. By the way, for those of you who don't know, feeding tubes don't go through your throat or anything--they are attached to the stomach and come directly out your side. Ick.

On a completely unrelated subject, check out used2bvader's Star Wars vids. The Padme one, in particular, is really good. And for team Stargate: SG-1 vids, check out Sierra Phoenix's vid Somebody Help Me, about times when Our Heroes aren't quite themselves; it's one of my favorites.

And the third subject that's been bugging me is the West Wing. It's almost over, as a series. Finito. Kaput. I just started watching it, like, about two months ago. I got hooked. And now it's ending. Why do I do this to myself? It's not the first time. Farscape, Babylon 5, Buffy, etc., all were either over or in their last season when I got hooked. All I can say is, thank heaven for DVDs.
