i’m mostly blogging this just so i remind myself to go. when she was here about 6 months ago, i blogged about it about a month in advance, and the post had slipped off my front page by the time the date arrived. and it totally slipped my mind. yeah, i’m old.

update:
well, it’s a good thing no one reads my blog. i was there. namoli was not. ouch.

the local, sweden’s news in english, reports that sweden’s trans men can get prosthetic penises free of charge, so long as they have a note from their doctor. apparently, the free penis cannot be used for urination or become erect.

Swedish health authorities justify their decision to only fund fake penises for cosmetic rather than functional purposes because of regulations which prohibit the use of taxpayer money to pay for products or procedures considered to be sexual aids.

Because, like Viagra, functioning fake penises help sexual performance, they do not qualify for public funds.

in other news, the trans experience “sucks”.

we went to the range yesterday and i brought along the final three ammo contenders for my three 22 LR firearms. winchester super x power point, american eagle ae22, and cci mini mag. the winchester super x works well, though i did experience two misfires in my marlin 995 rifle. it performed flawlessly in my s&w 2206 and my walther p22. it burns clean, leaving minimal residue on the weapons, and is accurate. unfortunately, it’s about $9.95 for 100 rounds normally. the past few weeks it’s been on sale at cabela’s, so i figured i’d give it a try.

the american eagle ae22 works great in my s&w 2206, but performs poorly in my marlin 995 rifle and walther p22, resulting in numerous misfires and failures to cycle. the price is the best of the three, at about $17.99 for 400 rounds, so i may continue to stock it for my s&w 2206, in which it works flawlessly. it burns cleans, and is accurate, but i just can’t use it in my other two firearms. i might as well be buying the value packs.

the clear winner is the cci mini mag ammo. it performs flawlessly in all three firearms, burns clean, and is accurate. at $6.99 for 100 rounds it’s a bit pricey, but it works in all my 22LR firearms, and i can’t argue with that.
