  1. Here we go again, chapter 2.

    29 April 2015

    This is a follow-up to the tale of woe that is my last trip to the dentist after a diagnosis of an abscessed molar on the bottom left. I kept the following bits under wraps mostly for the past week or so, save to a small number of people, and then I'll wrap things up with the events of today. To save your stomachs and appetites, the rest of the this post is under the cut. If you read the known side effects of the antibiotic clindamycin carefully you will note the following: Chills, confusion, diarrhea with blood in it …

  2. Here we go again.

    18 April 2015

    For reasons I'll go into in a bit, this post didn't start off auspiciously. Just as I was about to put fingers to keyboard extenuating circumstances prevented the composition of text...

    Long time readers of this blog are no doubt aware of two things: That I haven't posted much here in past weeks and my long and sordid history of dental problems. As it turns out, the two things are more related than it would otherwise seem.

    I haven't had it in me for the past few weeks to sit down and write anything substantial, the queue of notes on …

  3. Where have I been lately?

    03 March 2015

    That's an interesting question.

    The short answer is, I've been busy. Very much so.

    The longer and more accurate answer is that work has been running me ragged lately and I've been trying to conserve my spoons as best I can, lest I run myself into the ground (again). I've been routinely putting in 60 and 70 hour weeks, often over six or seven days so I haven't really been getting a whole lot of downtime. So some hard choices had to be made. Go out for my birthday or keep it low key? Low key, because I'm on call …

  4. Now that I've got some time, what happened this year?

    15 February 2015

    I've already done my obligatory post of some version of the song Birthday by The Cruxshadows what happened this last year that I can look back upon?

    It's funny. I was sitting there earlier tonight at dinner (yes, I post-dated this entry so it would match up with the other one) and I came up with a bunch of stuff that I'm kicking myself for not having written down. I guess that's the way it goes - thoughts go in, thoughts go out, but unless you trap them somehow they're probably not going to come back. But I'll take a stab …

  5. Lifestyle update.

    04 August 2014

    Not dead. Very busy, getting ready to ship out for work in a couple of days. In rather a lot of pain, too. Doing what I can to manage it.

  6. Another turn around the wheel, another charge over the top.

    15 February 2014

    Another year, another birthday.

    No, I won't post yet another video of Birthday by the Cruxshadows. I've done that the last few years, and I figure everybody could use a break. So, I put together a Youtube playlist of music that I listened to a lot last year. Open it in another tab or a new window and plug your headphones in if you've a mind to. Just click the "Play All" button.

    ...

    Good, you're back.

    I can't say that I expected the last year to turn out the way it did. I always said that I try to demolish …
