TONIGHT: DMB Show #3 of 2009
Best Part? They’ve been playing “Seek Up” at almost every show since returning to the US.

My lack of updates on how recovery is coming along can be taken as a sign as to how well things are going.
Certainly this recovery isn’t a walk in the park, but it is much easier than the previous two. I started back at work part-time on Monday (after a trip downtown to have my staples removed) and am able to have pretty normal half-days. My energy crashes by dinner and I’m still...
Lyric fetchin' lovin' →
Article explaining how to automatically add lyrics to all your songs in one night, for free. I never got why having the lyrics was nice until I realized that iPods/iPhones now display them.

I can see my car at the garage from our window. Why does that entertain me?
This would entertain me as well, don’t feel bad.

Jeanine and I ventured out to Crocker Park today to catch an early showing of HBP in my first real outdoor adventure since the surgery.
Regarding the movie, I think it’s been too long (almost 2 years) since reading the book for me to be able to really compare the two. I enjoyed what I saw on the screen, but at the same time I’m sure parts were cut that I’d be mad about (if I...

“What’s the law in your state?
The laws vary widely, according to John Carr, who works for a software company in the Boston area and who compiled a list of the rules in each state after taking an interest in the issue:
In Alaska, Maryland, North Carolina and Ohio, vehicles can drive in the left lane so long as they’re moving at the speed limit.”
Fuck.
Complaint #464 - IRL Whine

How many more decades of TiVo recording five repeat episodes of The Daily Show every day will I have to endure?

I wonder that same thing all the time.
A helicopter from Miami Children’s Hospital just landed across the street. That’s a long flight for a helicopter!
Room with a view
From my hospital bed I can see the building across the street where the Cleveland Clinic’s medical helicopters take off and land. I get to spend my days watching people come to the hospital who are far sicker than I am (or hopefully ever will be).
Oh yeah...
I forgot to mention the new plumbing works so well it allows me the chance to try it out every 1-2 hours right now :oP
This will improve when I switch to solid foods and it’s had a couple weeks to find its groove.
A little update
A lot of you have been txting or posting messages online asking how I am doing. I appreciate everybody’s concern and will try to give a brief rundown of the happens.
Although my surgery was scheduled for 1:30pm on Thursday, delays in each of the two surgeries before mine pushed the start time back to 4:30. Once the surgeon got me opened up he found a large amount of scar tissue around my...
Official Surgery Time: 10:00am
"Would you be willing to wait one more week?"
That is the question my surgeon’s assistant asked me on the phone this morning. Apparently they picked up three new, critical patients yesterday and two of them need to be operated on this Thursday. She said they’re both as sick as I was going into my first surgery. How am I not supposed to sympathize and say yes?
I asked her if I really had any choice in the matter. She said...

He forgets to mention you need to change your import settings to AAC if you have them set to MP3. Otherwise, works great!
"Smart" phones
Sometime last night my Blackberry started acting up in strange ways. At first it seemed like even simple tasks were causing the hourglass to appear as it chugged through processes. I restarted the thing to find no improvement. Later, I realized that it was also no longer receiving new emails. I tried restarting again and, with no success, gave up and went to bed.
This morning the problems...
The Effects of Postponing Surgery
If everything had gone according to plan I’d probably be one week post-op right now, lying around the house recovering. Instead, I have seven more days of waiting.
I’m fully aware of all the reasons it’s better to not have surgery while sick. I realize that a simple cold can cause all sorts of problems from issues with the anesthesia to the risk of the infection entering my...
