the hot-water trick still seems to be holding - only one has itched since application (four hours later), and it was a really nasty one. I am pleased.

in other news..
Access sucks. hoping mySQL will be better.
Done today: more photo filing, kitchen cleaning and painting. new sheet music acquired (I can actually play Kreisler's Praeludium half-decently! go me!). was good and didn't buy a new guitar (they had them on sale for $90).

Played pool last night. Discovered for the fifth time or so that I was shooting right handed, and got much better when I switched sides. I still grovel in awe of el_gecko's pool prowess, however.

Now, shower, and perhaps then some FIFA.
