When was the last time you… **1\. …went to the doctor?** 

I went to the doctor last week – Monday I think – to deal with a minor ailment. No big deal. I’m going to a different doctor this coming Monday for an Australian Government Approved physical examination. Yet another hoop I need to jump through in order to stay here a while longer.

[Aside: I don’t talk much about this, because until a decision is made, I don’t think it’s right to get excited or nervous either way. I’ve applied with my employer for a 4-year woking visa. A decision is imminent. Believe me, gentle reader, you will know as soon as I do.]

2. …went to the dentist? It’s been more than a year. I had a fantastic dentist in Vancouver, a certain Dr Ow (I’m not kidding). He’s the only one who has ever had anything to do with my teeth, and I’m leery of letting anyone else near them. I’m going to have to soon, at least for a checkup.

3. …filled your gas tank? I don’t have a car. So the last time I filled up a tank would be of my “old” 2000 GTi the day before I sold it. Sigh. I miss that car.

4. …got enough sleep? When I was 12 years old. I plan to sleep a lot when I get older. I’ll be one of those old people that has naps a lot.

5. …backed up your computer? Oooh. Me bad. It’s been more than a month now. Thing is, Jet Girl (my iBook) has been busy downloading, um, things, overnight, so I can’t back her up.

Okay, I admit it. Jet’s been downloading season 1 of Duckman through BitTorrent.
