My Job Rules Part 28039

Writing a sketch where two AOTS writers passionately argue over the funniness of a poop joke in the style of the Continental Congress is considered part of my daily responsibilities. Also, a taxidermied goat is there.

Anniversary Salad

The exact date is unknown, but this week is the ten year anniversary of my decision to go vegetarian.

While I spent the first few months eating fish and started up the habit again two years ago, I have not had chicken, beef, pork, turkey, Cornish game hen, or any other red or white meat since 1998.

Go, me.


I guess a dinner at Real Food Daily or Elf Cafe is in order.

Fun Club A&A Night 1



Axis and Allies 'til 2AM. With a break for "Battlestar."

The Soviet soldiers fought well. True to history, they were valiant and expendable.

My Nose Works!

Wow.

I just got my splints removed.

Observation - nasal splints are f'ing HUGE. Like, the size of your palm big. It wasn't quite, as my friend Mike Shaw predicted, like the bathroom scene in "Total Recall," but I bet it looked like it.



INT. SURGEON'S OFFICE

CASEY sits, wincing in a chair while the SURGEON pulls something out of his left nostril. Casey is not in pain, but rather dealing with the very strange sensations.

SURGEON
... and there's the first splint.

Casey opens his eyes.

CASEY
Whoa. I didn't know those things were that big!

SURGEON
No one does. This is why I don't show them to you before I put them in your nose. OK, one more.

The surgeon pulls another enormous sheet of plastic from Casey's right nostril. Then, he hands him a tissue.

SURGEON
You may bleed a small amount for the next hour or so. Try breathing gently through your nose.

Casey, for the first time in his life, feels air flow easily through both nostrils.

CASEY
Oh my God! My nose works!



END.

I'm a big fan of David Byrne, and have been for a long time.

I'm a latecomer to Paul Simon's "Graceland." But when I heard the song "I Know What I Know," I wanted to hear David Byrne singing it.

I would have killed to see this live:






... also, "You Can Call Me Al."

My Sinus Surgery - A Photojournal

Last Thursday, I had some sinus surgery. I want to be exact, so I'll describe it exactly as my surgeon did:

Endoscopic sinnostromy with treatment of bilateral maxillary and ethmoid sinuses, excision of left concha bullosum, septoplasty, and bilateral turbinate reduction.

Basically, my nose was all f'ed up, and I done went and got it fixed.


I won't get too into it, but everything you've read on the interwebs about septoplasty is a lie. I read so many horror stories going into this, but in reality, the surgery was simple, I never needed a painkiller during the post-op recovery, and even though my nose is still stuffed up with junk a week after the operation, I already can tell a difference. The only pain I felt during the entire thing was the one second injection of lidocaine before they hooked up my IV, and the cleaning process during the post-op appointment, which lasted all of ten seconds or so. Oh, and I couldn't eat peanut M&Ms for a few days.

But I did manage to get half of Battlestar season 2, all of season 3, and Razor in before season 4 kicks off, so it all works out in my favor.

Here's some pictures.

So yeah, nose is still blocked up with junk, and I'm not supposed to blow it at full force for a while. So that's all that's bothering me.

I can't wait to finally breathe like a normal person.
