Icons, the plan for tomorrow, and a Very Important Question

[annathepiper]

Y'all may notice I have a new icon on this post. That's because starfallz reminded me that even though my lads of Newfoundland do tend to dominate my musical attention, some lads over in Norway have had it a while longer. This here is an icon by sayuri_x. I've got another I've scarfed from her as well, from this post over here on aha. If you like this icon, go check out the others and compliment her work!

Meanwhile, for the sake of not making this a total GIP, this is your official announcement to Get Your Anna While Supplies Last. I go in for surgery at Stupid-o'Clock tomorrow morning. The plan is much like last time: nothing to eat or drink after midnight, check in at the hospital at 5:30am, surgery at 7am. They will keep me 1-3 days depending on how I do. Friday evening for release is a possibility but it may be more like Saturday, given that this is a more complex surgery than the mastectomy was. So there'll be more repair work that the Nanomechnical Anna will have to do.

solarbird will of course be coming with me, as will my computer. I'll check in online when I'm awake and able.

In the meantime, I invite you all to amuse yourselves with the following poll!

[Poll #1262098]

Leave other suggestions in the comments!

I think you could manage all of the above at one time or another, even to the extent of posting the miniseries on YouTube.

You could be the Hunchback of Kenmore.

Solarbird could have not a Poodle Hat but a Boobie Hat.

You could also hang it from your rearview mirror.

You could use it as a sort of stress boob for squeezing.

You could use it as a doorstop.

For the record, I'll go with stress boob...

[annathepiper]

Dara has already made commentary about "five minutes with Photoshop" and "Booblestar Galactica". ;)

[flashfire.livejournal.com]

I'm scared now.

[annathepiper]

I won't even elaborate. That last phrase just speaks for itself. ;)

Best wishes and all that! I'm sure all will go well and we'll be back at Renaissance Coffee in no time. }:D

[annathepiper]

Thanks much, and I'll look forward to it! :)

[firni.livejournal.com]

I love me a good checkbox poll. CLICK CLICK CLICK CLICK

Be well, let us know when you're awake again!

[annathepiper]

Thanks much, and I will. :)

[kathrynt.livejournal.com]

I have godawful movies on deck if you need them!

[annathepiper]

HURRAY! That'll be especially welcome since the next Cinematic Titanic isn't due out till the day I'm due back at work! ;)

[kjlj.livejournal.com]

Have a good surgery and take 'er easy, will ya?

[annathepiper]

Thank you very much! I hope to do just that. :)

[tiggymalvern.livejournal.com]

Definitely a cat pillow. Cats do, of course, deserve the best :-)

Good luck! And have a, er, good time in hospital. I'm sure that's possible, right?

[annathepiper]

It's actually within the realm of possibility at Evergreen, with decent staff, a private room where Dara can also sleep, and wi-fi!

And thanks! :)

Best wishes and all that for a safe surgery and speedy recovery. ::hugs:: Hope it goes well.

BTW, love the poll! Another suggestion, given the upcoming GBS concert: Give it to Sean. Tell him you could only afford one "bouncy" for him :D

[annathepiper]

*hugs!* Thanks much! :)

Also, *sporfle*, man but I do not have the chutzpah to do that. *^_^*;; But the thought of the look on his face just makes me go BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

I could mention that only yesterday I noticed an article in the newspaper Dagbladet which slammed Mr. Harket's chances of making it big internationally as a solo artist. His latest album, "Letters From Egypt," apparently hasn't had much success.

The article, in Norwegian:

[annathepiper]

And I'd discovered only yesterday, when I found that icon, that Mr. Harket did indeed put out a new solo album last year! Though one does wonder whether Mr. Harket is particularly concerned about making it big internationally...

Hrmm. I may have to do another disc exchange. ^_^

Best of luck for a short hospital stay and successful surgery. As soon as you're feeling up to it, I'll be coming to visit and media you up. :-)

[annathepiper]

Thanks babe! I look forward to it already! :)

[mamishka.livejournal.com]

Donate it to Eddie Izzard, on the off chance that one of his explodes the next time he's flying somewhere. >;-)

[annathepiper]

*snorf!* Yes, we can't have that! ;)

[akadriver.livejournal.com]

See, I think you can combine performance art and wearing it on your back...

Much luck with the surgery and hopefully this will be the last stupid o'clock roust for, well, pretty much ever.

[annathepiper]

You do have a point!

And thank you very much. I'll drink to that--only after my recovery, since I can't drink anything this morning, and alcohol doesn't mix with Percocet. ;)

[boxer-ferret.livejournal.com]

Take care and good luck for your recovery. You'll be up and typing in no time.

[annathepiper]

Thanks! :)

[seimaisin.livejournal.com]

Morten icon! I approve. :)

Good luck! Here's hoping all goes well, and that this is the end of all the nonsense!

[annathepiper]

He still is easy on the eyes, even if he's 23 years older than he was in "Take On Me", what I really wanted an icon from. ;)

Fingers crossed, indeed! Thanks!

[annathepiper]

Thank you very much. :) *hugs back*

[cafiorello.livejournal.com]

Hope it goes smoothly and you recover well!

Cathy

[annathepiper]

Thanks! :)

Tell people it's a hairless tribble.

[ellerisse.livejournal.com]

I vote for this too. XD

[annathepiper]

HAR! I suppose that'll let me detect hairless Klingons? ;)

[angharads-house.livejournal.com]

snugga. Give it to Froderick as a comfort toy.

[annathepiper]

Hee, I'm not sure what kitties would think of it, it's all smooth and squishy, after all! But this isn't anything catnip can't cure... ;)
