So, Weird Al. Read more if you dare. (Post title comes from his spoof interview of Jessica Simpson, in which she insists its "Jessica Sampson", to which Al responds that she can just call him the above.)

The doctor visit today was a follow-up on last week’s round of testing. And its official. I have Crohn’s disease. Not a tenative diagnosis, not even the really strong guess they issued: its confirmed twice over. The small bowel study (yay, x-rays!) showed a classic case of symptoms, albeit rather severe, and the final blood…

So, apparently Cyclopskitty is a popular figure, having evoked many squeals of “Its sooooo cuuuuute” in varying levels of squeaky-voicedness. I henceforth dub him Ceekay for short. And as my Mindtwin noted yesterday, I really needed a turtle version. And when I got home (bearing my own gift for Meabh, as I’ll note shortly, there…

So, I go to bed last night. Meabh is still sitting in the office fiddling with stuff. Suddenly she walks in and says something to a mostly-asleep pogle about having a present for me. And she plops some shadowy shape down next to me on the ottoman, and runs away. A more suspicious person would…

You might’ve seen my mention of the SoS gravy mix Michele made for me for dinner, since it was 99% liquid…well, I had it again last night, and it was delicious once again.

Its fitting in some fashion that one month later I get the official confirmation from the gastroenterologist, after lots of testing. Reade more if you want to…read more.…

Confuscius says: “He who omits if-then-else statement has no choice.” — zolaar Click the Read More link for a long, long rant on my health.

Meeeeeeeeeeeeb being the butchered nickname we use for Meabh (aka Michele) when we want to annoy her in emails and online. She’s all upset that she’s old as of today. Silly girl. She’s still a kid, and went on to prove it, believe you me. We went to Best Buy this morning (after returning the…

Ha! I have a place to put quotes I find funny. And there’s nothing you can do about it! “I have an MCSE cert, that doesn’t mean I get together with steve balmer on the weekends and shoot penguins.” — robbiethefett, in this Slashdot article concerning the RIAA and the University of Washington. Also, this…
