Don't tell me that it doesn't hurt. A hundred fluttering in your skirt.

redcountess had her hysteroscopy this evening. She sat on the table, the nurse put her legs in the stirrups and the gynae pumped her uterus full of saline and put a camera on a probe up her while I held her hand. We got to watch it in action — new dimensions in pr0n detail! (No, we didn't get a souvenir tape.) It wasn't painful, just unpleasantly uncomfortable, and over in a couple of minutes. Her womb looks in perfect health (no fibroids or other visible problems, though the gynae suggested there could be fibroids inside the uterine wall rather than on the inside surface), so it looks like the months-long period is actually hormonal. We'll see what the endocrinologist has to say next month.

(And the modern day procedure is considerably nicer than the 1898 picture in that Wikipedia article makes it out to be!)

arkady had a job interview (PFY) today which she says went very well — her only reservation being that they said the word "overqualified." But here's hoping they love her enough to want her anyway.

I've been writing a pile of stuff for Wikipedia: new articles on EXA and XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (which I've probably gotten horribly garbled and wrong in places), XFixes, Ardent Window Manager and Cyril Vosper and a pile of work on List of longest novels (which I started), X Window System, uwm and Mission Earth (novel). There's a Wikipedia meetup on Sunday.

Although it's still a maybe, B-Movie tomorrow is looking more likely. Feel free to hit me up for a Djarum!
