i can't believe this link i posted to fark actually made it on the main page - i figured asking people for anagram suggestions would garner a few responses from TotalFarkers (those of us that pay to see every link submitted) but a farker grown-up actually put it on the main page....

hrmmm, now what to do with the suggestions i've received....

omigod - it's true, and here's more proof of it than just my general hunch - dale's new car has been declared "the sports car for nerds"

well whaddaya know, ted - the food guy on "queer eye for the straight guy" - graduated from carmel high school...

my vote for sign of the day....

i love The Onion - check out this infographic on Gay TV:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLOG! it was 2 years ago yesterday that i got this baby up and running - awwwwwwwww....

awww man - A Christmas Story: 20th Anniversary Special Edition, to be released October 7 - even though I've got the damned movie on DVD, i'll probably be shelling out for this one, since it's got a disc of what looks to be very interesting extras...

VNS Update - still ticking away, i've noticed the pulsing a lot more over the past few days. not sure if it's more noticeable because i'm fighting off a head cold or what, but the voice changing's been a lot more prevalent.

the keppra seems to be a good anticonvulsant for me - i've been totally off of the dilantin for a few weeks now and no seizure activity to report *knock on wood*

mid september i'll be meeting with a new psychiatrist, who also happens to be a neurologist - hopefully that means i won't have to give her a lesson on the whole Vagus Nerve Stimulator thing. my Internal Medicine doc wasn't familiar with it at all, and i've also given education sessions to a variety of other docs, nurses and assorted medical personnel. i hope the new shrink can come up with a good combo of meds to stave off the panic attacks and keep me seizure-free as well. i'm also hoping the shrink can give me some answers about the VNS as a treatment for depression, which my regular neurologist didn't have - is it possible that we can treat my epilepsy and depression at the same time, or do they use different pulse settings for each?

dad was in town this weekend, so i saw him for a little bit - it was the first time i'd seen him since christmas, which was before the surgery. it's obvious that he's totally clueless about this stuff, but doesn't seem all that interested in learning more about it either. whatever.

i need to get some work done on the website, but that's too close to actually doing work...

the 5 flavor LifeSavers roll has consisted of the same five original flavors -- Cherry, Pineapple, Orange, Lemon and Lime.

Next month, that's gonna change - cherry and pineapple will stay, but they're getting rid of orange, lemon and lime...

their replacements? raspberry, watermelon and blackberry - what the hell?!?

supposedly there was a vote, but nobody asked me. raspberry? yuck. watermelon? ehhh, okay, instead of lemon or lime, i could deal with that. blackberry? errrr, no thanks. i'm surprised they'd get rid of orange - cherry and orange are the two best ones!

as for the single flavor rolls, butter rum's good, but the favorite's gotta be cryst-o-mint....

heh heh heh - if you weren't a big fan of the Dubya in the flight suit doll, how about this ebay auction for a Texas Air National Guard George W Bush Action Figure. seems the doll's gone AWOL from the box it's being shipped in...

here's the list of candidates on the California recall ballot...

will schwarzenegger actually have a chance at winning this thing?!? the whole thing just seems so crazy - but then again, we ARE talking about california...

welcome to my Fair & Balanced blog! why the hell should Fox News consider themselves any more Fair & Balanced than Al Franken??

What time is it?

well, now that Gary Coleman's gotten a key endorsement, i think it's OBVIOUS that he's gonna whoop Arnold Schwarzenegger's ass in the California recall election - Nellie Oleson from Little House On The Prairie thinks Coleman is qualified...

The Unabomber Wants His Stuff Back - one of the things he mentioned wanting returned to him is his copy of "On Being Sane in Insane Places"...hmmm...

jeezus - scrape yer forty bucks together, so that you can get your very own dubya military action figure!
