Surgery went well, the most painful part of it being getting up at 5am to be at the surgery center at quarter to six. Mercifully, since they just sedated me instead of using full anesthesia, I was out of the surgery center by 9am. The doctor found that the accessory navicular bone that he was ...

A few odds and ends before I disappear into Foot Surgery Land tomorrow: – Disgusting double-entendre of the day. – CBS resurrected Jericho, which makes me happy because I enjoyed how insanely ridiculous that show was. I was not enough of a fan to send unsolicited tons of peanuts to CBS, but still, it’s nice ...

Sorry, Canada. Yay, Teemu Selane! The man with the second best name in hockey (after Miroslav Satan, who really needs to be traded to the New Jersey Devils) now has his name on the Stanley Cup.

You are sorely testing me, you evil fruit. First, you push back Leopard until October, then you go and release these shiny new LED backlit laptops that I would have bought sometime in the next month with a copy of Leopard had it come out on time. Instead, my aging, creaking, full, angry PowerBook will ...

Specifically, out of North America: create your own visited countries map I should at least hit up some big countries like Australia, Russia, and China. Minimal effort, maximum map-filling.

So the surgery is taking place Thursday, June 7th, or 364 days after I first hurt this bad boy, or one day before my birthday. The good news is that I will be on some very excellent drugs for my birthday. Nothing I wanted more this year than to be high as a kite! Well, ...

It’s official: I need surgery. Sometime next week, not sure when yet. Whee! It’s pretty insane how much my left leg atrophied over three weeks. It really looks like it’s from a different person, particularly when compared to my right leg which has been carting my fat ass around all this time. I’d post pictures ...

A few small pieces of flotsam and jetsam, Krazy-glued together into one for your convenience. 1. Doc’s taking off the cast tomorrow, so I find out if (*cough cough* when *cough cough cough*) I need surgery. At least I’ll finally be able to scratch this itch on the outside of my leg that’s been driving ...

Next time you go on a giant trip, try not to take two years to label all 1100 pictures, because you might not remember much by the time you try to finally do it. In related news, I’m back to putting up more of my 400ish best photos from my trip to Europe with Mark ...

I had several people ask me why, instead of the pegleg, I didn’t just get a scooter. These assholes are a big part of why not. The other part is I don’t think I could get one of those things up the stairs.
