on saturday, we went to karina's for mediocre pasta, good conversation, and a somewhat interesting incident where a middle-aged lady passed out at the table next to ours. the facts, from what i could gather, were these: that she was completely unresponsive (i would estimate GCS at 6-7); the loss of consciousness lasted about 10 minutes, upon which she woke up not even realizing that she had been out; she had taken a clonipine about an hour before; that she had had a glass or two of wine; that she had no history of diabetes. so what was it? one more thing i'll never know. theories?

in other news, if you like graphic novels, or even if you don't, i recommend the superlative daytripper, by fabian moon and gabriel ba, a 10-issue mini-series that explores the key episodes in the life of one fictional obituary writer brás de oliva domingos. excellent stuff, and you won't be collecing them till you're in a retirement home.
