Tho' the weather outside is frightful...

Do hospitals have CCTV in their MRI rooms?

"Love Hurts" was on TV last night. Man, Wilson used to be pretty. Prettier.

Safely home in NY for the weekend and stuffed full of potato latkes. On the bus ride down yesterday, we passed through some areas that had been hit by the ice storm earlier this week (which only brought rain, rain, rain to Boston). Acres and acres of glazed bare treetops glinting in the pale sunlight. I can never decide whether they look like glass or candy. Gorgeous.

When I bought my bus tickets, I made sure to be home for a previously scheduled dentist appointment this morning and then the ex-company holiday party tonight. Last night I realized I didn't know where my house key was. Okay; my sister lent me hers this morning. Then my car wouldn't start. Nobody else is home. Canceled the dentist appointment. Okay; $100 less I have to spend this month (though it'll probably go to a new car battery, or the inspection I put off when I went to school). Ditto for not being able to go holiday gift shopping if I wanted to.

Now it is snowing. Hooray for snow. It's the first real snow of the season. It might snow enough that I won't want to drive 25 miles to get to the ex-company holiday party, though, which means I could've stayed up at school another day and not gone out of my mind trying to get stuff done.

ETA: piccies:









I am very happy for snow, and I did enough schoolwork on the bus that I'm now settled in with a blanket and am working on fic. Fic! I started this one in May and never got back to it. The story started to go somewhere I wasn't expecting, and I wasn't sure how to handle that. Hopefully today I'll make some progress.

In the hospital where I've gotten an MRI, I don't remember seeing CCTV. The MRI is such a powerful magnet that I had to leave my watch in another room down the hall, etc; I wonder whether the magnet would impact televisions and so forth, too? (I have no idea -- my scientific knowledge is embarrassingly high-school-level...)

Embarrassingly, I've been in MRI and CT rooms four times in the last year-ish, and I never thought to check, even though the latter two times I already knew I wanted to set a story in one that might involve bribes about security cameras. Guess my mind was on other things -- go figure. :)

p.s. Love the icon.
