περὶ τοῦτῳ βιβλίῳ: regarding this story
χαλεπὰ τὰ καλά. άλλὰ θάρρει, oὐδέποτε μαθήσεται στενάζειν μὴ μελετῶν.

Noble things are harsh. But take heart; one does not learn to lament without study.

Cyborg Girl: Cephalometric Radiograph (side)


The Break )


So here's what happened with the surgery on 9 June. We completed everything on my to-do-before-the-surgery list by the previous night, and I went into the hospital with [info]tutordennis in the wee hours of that Monday morning. I was excited and a bit apprehensive, but ready. Staff at the hospital were friendly and helpful, and the pre-op procedures were smooth. Smiling and waving, I let go of his hand as they wheeled me into the operating room. Stereotypically, the last things I remember seeing were my main surgeon, my anesthesiologist, and a half-dozen other masked faces over me, and the bright lights above the table.

There can be certain potions needled in the clock for the body's fall from grace... )

Also, I now have awesome-looking x-rays.

You can now pre-order the 2009 Geek Girls Calendar on the Calendar Geeks website HERE!


As some of you know, I am pleased to be Ms. October 2009, the Steampunk Geek. In addition, the 2009 calendar features the following geeks: Chemistry, Librarian, Knitting, Math, Music, Grammar, History, Computer, Theater Tech, Roleplaying Game, and Video Game. None of the models in this calendar are just posing; they're all real geeks who are passionate about the themes of their pictures (quite passionate...these geeks are seriously hawt!). The twelve-month calendar also includes geeky holidays such as Pi Day, sci-fi cons, birthdays of notable geeks like Albert Einstein and Ada Lovelace, and the Unix timestamp 1234567890. Cost is $16.95 plus shipping, and your order should arrive within 4-6 weeks if you place your order before Monday, 30 June 2008. If you want to get in on the first printing run, order now.

Join the low-volume mailing list here. If you wish to help promote, feel free to use the above banner, the accompanying icon, or one of the other lovely icons and banners available on the website.

Many thanks to [info]jedusor for making this all happen. The 2009 calendar is dedicated to the memory of Ava, our Chemistry Geek, and her portion of the proceeds will go towards a scholarship fund in her name. My calendar photos were taken by [info]tutordennis at Maker Faire (Bay Area) 2008, and the main page features The Whirlygig Emoto, Tom Sepe's steam-assisted motorbike.
