panama!: el chitre
http://panamasummer.blogspot.com/2008/08/el-chitre.html
Not like the van halen song, which apparently is about a car, not the country. Thursday, August 21, 2008. Ildaura made her first pollera at age 15. Here she is showing me a photo of it. The family was also nice enough to let me try on a pollera and take a photo. It was so HEAVY! And I wasn't even wearing any of the 3 petticoats that normally accompany it. I'm also missing the elaborate headdress (tambleques) and the gobs of gold jewelry that are usually worn. You look fabulous, Erin. Miriam makes me laugh.

Failure To State A Claim: The Hospital
http://mehgant.blogspot.com/2011/12/hospital.html
Failure To State A Claim. I don't know what it means either. Sunday, December 11, 2011. Wednesday I spent the day prepping for my last surgery! I had to drink two bottles so I was counting on the second bottle to stay down and do all the work. And it was touch and go there but it all stayed down. Hooray! It wasn't a big deal. I probably wasn't going to eat breakfast before 5am anyway. The surgery went swimmingly. They stuck my intestine back inside me and took the port-a-cath (technical term? With a litt...

panama!: la cuidad
http://panamasummer.blogspot.com/2008/08/la-cuidad.html
Not like the van halen song, which apparently is about a car, not the country. Saturday, August 30, 2008. I've been waiting for 6 weeks for a sunny Sunday afternoon. So at the first hint of a blue sky I took off for Casco Viejo, the old section of Panama City, to take some photos. There are also these really cool remnants of old churches all around. Sometimes during the dry season they'll hang a sheet on one of the walls and show movies at night. These are gorgeous pictures, Erin! I want to be kelly's co...

Failure To State A Claim: March 2011
http://mehgant.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Failure To State A Claim. I don't know what it means either. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. The highlight of the day, however, was getting a letter from my gastroenterologist (spelling questionable) with the results of my colonoscopy. Turned out all the biopsies they took (I think they only took three or so) were negative for cancer! I mean, no one said the words "cancer free" yet, but clear biopsies HAD to be a good thing. Wednesday, March 16, 2011. Since I'd heard that the prep was the worst part, once I was...

Failure To State A Claim: September 2011
http://mehgant.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Failure To State A Claim. I don't know what it means either. Monday, September 26, 2011. Five down, one to go. I made it through treatment #5! I bet my mom was glad I offered to take MY car instead of her car like we usually do! A quick stop at a gas station to clean up and try to puke anything else that might be lingering up and we were on our way again. Nothing like throw up stories on blogs. Since then I've felt much better; no throwing up! Monday, September 19, 2011. Today I ate ice cream. But don't ...

panama!: los olimpicos
http://panamasummer.blogspot.com/2008/08/los-olimpicos.html
Not like the van halen song, which apparently is about a car, not the country. Thursday, August 21, 2008. So, Yemen made its Olympic debut in '84, LA. No medals to speak of yet, but fingers are crossed that they'll introduce a qat chewing event in the near future. I'm trying to picture a parallel lunch break in Sana'a, and I envision a lot of AKs being fired. Anyways, my hat's off to Panama. August 21, 2008 at 11:50 PM. Please continue blogging when you get home. please. August 27, 2008 at 4:22 PM.

Failure To State A Claim: Work Like a Beaver
http://mehgant.blogspot.com/2012/01/work-like-beaver.html
Failure To State A Claim. I don't know what it means either. Tuesday, January 10, 2012. Work Like a Beaver. Well it's been almost a month since I last posted. I feel guilty about this every time I read my friend Malinda's blog and think to myself "why doesn't she post every day? Well Guilty and selfish. But apparently not enough of either to actually remedy the situation. In case I haven't made it clear, I agree that it's pathetic that one day of work - ONE - has made me so sick and tired). Also right no...

Archive for February 2009. Poem [Lana Turner has collapsed! 8230; by Frank O’Hara. Leave a comment ». Lana Turner has collapsed! I was trotting along and suddenly. It started raining and snowing. And you said it was hailing. But hailing hits you on the head. Hard so it was really snowing and. Raining and I was in such a hurry. To meet you but the traffic. Was acting exactly like the sky. And suddenly I see a headline. LANA TURNER HAS COLLAPSED! There is no snow in Hollywood. There is no rain in California.

Failure To State A Claim: Happy Birthday
http://mehgant.blogspot.com/2011/12/happy-birthday.html
Failure To State A Claim. I don't know what it means either. Monday, December 5, 2011. In a mere matter of days my little sister will be turning 30. I know what you're thinking "you're not old enough to have a younger sister that's 30! You're right. I'm way too youthful for that. Well, actually now that I have had cancer I feel like I'm old enough to have a sister that age. I mean who gets colon cancer? Old people. And heavy drinkers. So, cheers everyone! 2 Her favorite singer when we were young was Bill...
