So, an update

cleolindaSister Girl will apparently be able to keep her finger, although she assures me it was "barely holding on." They gave her a digital block (apparently this is supposed to numb the entire finger?) but it... kind of didn't work, and she felt all four stitches. (They offered DermaBond as an alternative. That's right: they offered to glue my sister's finger back on.) The doctor (who, if he was an intern as she had feared, was the oldest one on record) asked if he should stop or try something else and she said, "NO JUST FINISH IT OKAY JUST FINISH IT I JUST WANT IT TO BE OVER." Then, they put a Band-Aid on her finger, which is really so useless that I feel like it must have been cosmetic, or maybe just to keep the stitches dry. She then entered an outpatient treatment program of Taco Bell and OxyContin, and will be off work a couple of days while she is painkillered up.
Meanwhile, I forgot to mention that there's a new Made of Fail podcast up with MarzGurl from That Guy With the Glasses. (Guys, am I supposed to be on the next one this month? I can't remember.)
Meanwhile-meanwhile, over at Formspring: 175 anonymous questions answered, 75 to go. It seems to be glitching, though, and won't show anything when you click "more." Maybe I'll copypaste the answers somewhere else periodically. They better come back, though, because that's like 150 answers lost if they don't.
Also, barring unforeseen circumstances, I will be liveblogging the Oscars tonight. My understanding is that, due to a TV affiliate dispute of some kind in New York, some channels will not be allowed to carry the Oscars. You will be able to watch them streaming live (in theory. Good luck with that) courtesy of the AP.

I legit had a heart attack when I read that (despite not living in New York). I HAVE PEOPLE COMING OVER TONIGHT IN FANCY DRESS, TV. DON'T DO THIS TO ME.

Date: 2010-03-08 06:46 am (UTC)I've played though it 4 times(I boughthe guide book for the game. I'd be so lost without it) One a mage, Dalish elf rouge(being a rogue elf is not esay), and twice Cousland one was a warrior and as a rouge. Right now I'm on my 5th playthrough as a dwarf noble warrior.
Yeah........I have no life.

Date: 2010-03-07 09:04 pm (UTC)Do let her know that she's not alone with the glue possibility, though: shortly after the end of Dollhouse, Dichen Lachman (the actress who played Sierra) tweeted this (http://twitter.com/Dichenlachman/status/8430654697). The overwhelming suggestion she got for putting her finger back together? Super Glue.

Date: 2010-03-07 09:18 pm (UTC)Once, a furnace had a mini...explosion...thing (?) near his face, resulting in minor burn wounds and a lack of eyebrows, and I'm sure his first reaction was to put electric tape on his face and call it a day.
At any rate, glad to hear your sister is okay. Good luck to you as well with the liveblogging.

While I enjoyed all your answers, this one stood out as an
excellentawesome answer to a potentially awkward question:Q: So why is it, exactly, that you're so full of awesome? :P
A: I'm really short, so a small amount of awesome filled me up pretty quickly.

FYi
Date: 2010-03-08 01:15 am (UTC)Also, I had to choose between Oscars and Alice today in regard to my schedule, and I chose Alice! Please cover the Oscars so I can catch up by Wednesday?!? (Mon-Tues. are Busy Days of Too Much for me).
With my expectations relatively medium, I found it quite good - with the exception of a 1-2 minute dance towards the end (which was not so much the dance as it was the god-awful music) which I feel is jarringly, horrifically WRONG for the movie....but aside from that, very good. Colleen Atwood fans will not be disappointed and Depp was - both himself and also different (loved the Scottish accent - unexpected).

Date: 2010-03-08 07:33 pm (UTC)The doctor came back after a few minutes and said, "I'm going to test the block now. Look away and tell me if you feel this." I buried my head in my now-husband's jacket and waited. About thirty seconds later I shrieked.
"Huh. I guess the block didn't take," said the doctor, obviously very surprised.
"Ow," said my fiance. (Not out of any sympathy with me... his ears were ringing from having me screech right next to his head!)
(He repeated the process and I was fine after that. I'm surprised they didn't do that for your sister.)

Date: 2010-03-09 12:07 am (UTC)Is that weird? Sorry if that's weird. I keep copies of stuff I find funny and/or neat (for offline reading and this fear that EXACTLY THIS MAY HAPPEN AND THINGS WILL BE GOOOONE FOREVAAAAR) and your writing is frequently both, so... *spreads hands*
