Synopsis for the click-impaired: Canes *KILLED* the Devils 6-0 after all sorts of boasting by NJ fans about how they were going to just walk all over the Canes.

*grin*

I just love it. Can't wait to hear the excuses in the NJ media over this one... :D

Not saying it's indicative of the rest of the series, this is hockey after all, but after all the posturing of the Devils fans, it's nice to see their noses in the dirt for a while. What *is* it with people up here in NY/NJ? Boasting, posturing, strutting around like they have to fight for everything... how fricking insecure does everyone have to be?? Hunh. Now I'm wondering if the general hairiness of the male population accounts for the problem. I mean, when that optical inch doubles the apparent size...

Oh hell yes.

On a less important note...

I got a glucose meter today. Whee! Toys!

The lancet is truly almost painless. The point on my finger that I pricked an hour ago is less sore than the place on my finger where they nurse at the clinic jammed the needle in last Wed.

Oh yeah - this afternoon I got mildly lightheaded, a bit fogged in the head, and had a slight tingling in the cheeks and lips that has always indicated to me, blood sugar is low, elf needs food badly. So I checked it.

98.

Not low blood sugar, as I read it. It had been two hours since a rather large meal of eggs, ham, cheese, potatoes, etc, but still. I don't think a 98 glucose reading should be giving me those symptoms.

BTW, since I do have verbal diarrhea (I can hear a collective gasp of "no, REALLY?!?") I'm more than happy to start plopping this crud behind a filter if'n y'all want me to. I'm likely going to be babbling about it endlessly... I mean hell, I just got handed a nifty puzzle to solve. You think I'm going to be able to let this one be? Fuck no. :)

I was just sitting here thinking of the oddity of manually measuring, noting, monitoring, and reacting to, body chemistry. Then it hit me what it's really like.

For all you Cordwainer Smith fans out there, please excuse me, I need to go cranch.
