Let's Be Productive

Or not.

Actually, I have been somewhat productive today. I went to the dentist and picked up the mouth guard that will hopefully prevent me from breaking any more teeth by grinding them away to dust at night while I'm sleeping.* I finally made it to the post office, and four boxes of jam are now winging their way West, East and North (far North, in one case. As in, Arctic Circle North). And now I'm writing a paper for my Science, Technology and Markets class entitled, "A Research Journal Case Study Summary - An Assessment of the Small Business Innovation Research Program at the National Institutes of Health." Yeah. It's putting me to sleep, too, and I'm writing the damn thing.

The one bright spot was my discovery of a new-to-me band called Goldspot I bought their latest EP on iTunes, And the Elephant is Dancing. They've been described as "Bollywood Pop," but their music just makes me happy, which is a good enough reason to throw them some cash. Here's "Call Center Girl."

*That fucking thing was $300.00. Seriously - $300.00. The only thing that pushed me into buying it was the fact that the implant to replace the broken tooth was ten times that amount. Who's the dumbass who thinks dental care shouldn't be included as part of medical care, again?

First Jeri makes me spend money on music. OK, she didn't actually make me, but she introduced me to some good music I was unfamiliar with, and I'm a sucker for good music.

And now you just did the same.

Sigh.

I'd best get back to work now.

Don't get me started on the SBIR program. Waste of fucking money. Our fucking money.

...says the Big Pharma shill.

Actually, my research indicates that it's not.
