So, last year I got a tattoo when I hit my first ever FULL YEAR without a seizure. Proceeded to screw up with ointment and leech the purple ink, but still looks awesome. I was doing pretty darn well until July 2nd, 2016, when I lost my record to a small seizure at home. Broke … More Jumping the Gun on a Seizure-Free Year
Epilepsy Surprisingly, nothing. Despite the fuckton of effects, action focus was generally on a character, meaning any background of flashing/electric blue light (there was some) was distorted a bit. General GOTG2 is a continuation of the hanging thread left at the end of GOTG1: Who is Peter’s dad. The question is answered super fast. I … More Random Movie Review: Guardians of the Galaxy Vol 2
Let’s jump right off, this is a good movie. Go watch it. Epilepsy Usually in this part, I tell you whether or not the movie had any seizure triggers. Today, I’m going to do something different. This might be slightly spoilerish. Okay, Here in the future, Charles Xavier, as he’s aged, has suffered from … … More Random Movie Review: Logan (and Epilepsy)
(Sorry for any mistakes. Hand has more problems than before.) Went in December 30th to get checked out. Told doctor I had blisters from the cast. Doctor said I could cut pieces of the cast around mu thumb off, but not too much. I was like… even if I have scissors that can do that, … More Broken Wrist: The Re-Breakening; RIP Carrie and Debbie. (Also, Happy 2017, I guess)
Dudes… apparently this isn’t the first time I’ve broken my wrist. There is a floating broken bone in my wrist! Little old. Don’t know how old. Probably what made this an easy break. So I’m put in a hard cast, and then when it is healed I might have surgery to remove the bone. Seriously, I had … More Broken Wrist – 1st Update
So, last night I did a fun thing. I was kneeling, messing with stuff on my headboard. When I turned around, I didnt realize how close I was to the edge, slipped off…. and landed right on my damn wrist. First I was like, eh, just caught myself. Hurts. But it’ll get better… then it … More Paaaain – Broken Wrist
Epilepsy It’s a Star Wars movie. There’s blasters and blaster SFX. This movie IS, as everyone keeps saying, a war movie. It is a bit of a hard core take on the usual style of blasters. The effects are more frequent, and more in-your-face. And yet, I was not bothered in the least. It is never … More Random Movie Review: Rogue One – A Star Wars Story
Deep breaths. It’s time to pay attention to the legislative branch, now. Those people you support will need your support to get through being outnumbered. There are some tough people in the House and Senate. I’m quite excited about more than a few of them. As it’s been said, women, specifically women of color made … More Forward – It’s Time To Support The Future AND The Women to Look Out For from the 2016 Elections
I’ve done this before, technically. But, it wasn’t as big of a deal. Full disclosure: I worked on the Dems/Obama campaign in the Gregoire for ReElection Seattle WA Dems branch back in the 2008 election. I was here in 2012, I hadn’t changed my mind about the President, so I voted for him, again. Second … More 2016 American Elections While Abroad – My Reaction

As November – Epilepsy Awareness Month – comes to a close, I want to write a little more about my feelings on my lovely neurological gift. Let’s talk about epilepsy and fear. I mentioned fear when discussing the feeling of an aura, I believe, but it goes a little…
