thehefnerOkay, so that minor surgery turned out to be less minor. Or at least more than I was expecting. In the grand hope of repairing my deviated septum and being able to do little things like breathe and taste food normally for the first time in years, I must spent a period of time feeling like oh holy crap.
I'm better than I was post-op, for those first five or so hours... but yeah, perhaps to sweeten the joy of smells and tastes that await me, I must spend the next few days as a mouth-breather. Unable to breathe through--much much less blow--my nose. I've got a splint in there now, so I just gotta let the magic work as I train myself to inhale and exhale through my mouth, and change the gauze strapped under my nose every hour or two. I know it's time to change when I start looking like a bloody Hitler.
To pass the time, I tried to watch BAD LIEUTENANT on Comcast On Demand, then gave up when I realized that it had to be the R-rated version. I've never seen it before, but for a movie with that rep, what's the point if you don't see it right? I demand depravity! I demand my Harvey Kietel wang!
I then attempted to watch THE PRISONER box set, but once I realized I was conking out just the the weird bubble thing finally appeared, I knew it would have to wait. Maybe I'll give it another go tonight, or else go straight to LOST Season One.

It's true, but you're not seeing the bigger picture, my friend. Don't you know that death is the number one killer in the US today?
