gement | And I'll ... if I wanna.

Last night I had my first full-on headache in months. This is because I'm out of Maxalt, preventative drug of the gods. More Maxalt costs $65 for 9 tabs, after insurance [Edit: I believe that means that it's $260 at full price, or $29/dose]. Bad, stupid insurance. Bad, stupid pharmaceutical companies. Anyone with advice on older migraine-shortcircuiter drugs that might be cheaper? Anyone know how drugs from Canada work?

[Edit: preventative is inaccurate. I am looking for, as xmurf describes below, a "stop migraine-in-progress widgit."]

So I'm still fragile and achy from that, and perennially stressed from grad school, but otherwise feeling well. And I found a hysterical quote from a sexual advice page on the subject of "what nice girls don't do..."

It’s just that whenever I hear a phrase like “that’s something women only do to please men,” my Dworkinite Early Warning System goes off like a fire alarm. I start ranting like a harpy and screaming things like, “You can’t tell me what to do! You can’t tell me what I like and don’t like to do in bed! You don’t know anything about anything! You’re a narrow-minded, repressed moron, you’re probably frigid, and your mother dresses you funny!” and other equally relevant and coherent pearls of wisdom. I’ll try not to do that here. I’ll be good now, I promise. I’ll be calm and rational and sensitive and just talk to you about buttfucking. -- Greta Christina
