there’s a monster on my face

September 28th, 2005

so i got this huge, nasty cyst/pimple/monstrosity on my face a few weeks ago.  it didn’t hurt at first, but then it started to.  it took me lots of phone calls, but i finally got a dermatologist appointment for this morning.  i love this place-everyone was super nice, from the receptionist to the doc, and everyone in between.  they gave me a cortisone injection, which hurt like a bitch, but should knock this asshole off my face.  seriously.  it needs to go.  like, yesterday.  as martha would say, "cyst…you just don’t fit in.  goodbye!"

the new place is fantastic!!  we moved from rittenhouse to northern liberties.  for all of you new yorkers, that the equivalent of moving from the upper west side to the lower east side.  i couldn’t be happier.  the only real downside is that we used to live a block away from my job.  but it hasn’t been too much of a hassle getting there and back.  we’re saving a ton of money, and have an extremely cool and unique new neighborhood.  our place is funky as hell, and has a terrace!  walter sits out all day, he loves it.  we’re almost totally organized and decorated.  i’ll post some pics when we’re all set up.

in other health news, my tonsillectomy is scheduled for november 1st.  i’m terrified and relieved at the same time to be having this surgery. i know it’s no big deal, and that it will almost definitely help my voice.  but i’m a’scurred!  i almost passed out today getting a shot in my cheek!  i’m a big pussy.

two words: breaking.  bonaduce.

read a great book recently…sue carpenter’s "40 watts from nowhere" about the pirate radio movement of the 90’s in la and san francisco.  couldn’t put it down.

Walterandcapemay_004 cute walter pic of the day: jumping up for a treat.  he’s so cute it makes me wanna vom.  that’s our dyson in the background (my other baby).

awesome

"I have done nothing wrong … I am innocent," DeLay told a Capitol Hill news conference in which he criticized the Texas prosecutor, Ronnie Earle, repeatedly. DeLay called Earle a "unabashed partisan zealot," and "fanatic," and described the charges as "one of the weakest and most baseless indictments in American history."

Ok…

The indictment accused DeLay of a conspiracy to "knowingly make a political contribution" in violation of Texas law outlawing corporate contributions. It alleged that DeLay’s Texans for a Republican Majority political action committee accepted $155,000 from companies, including Sears Roebuck, and placed the money in an account.

The PAC then wrote a $190,000 check to an arm of the Republican National Convention and provided the committee a document with the names of Texas State House candidates and the amounts they were supposed to received in donations.

The indictment included a copy of the check.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

a city is destroyed.

people are being raped and beaten, as anarchy sets in.

bodies litter the streets, as the starving pray for their own lives.

20-50% of the new orleans area police officers have abandoned the force.

more hurricanes are likely to hit this region soon…

…and condoleezza rice went to see "spamalot" last night!  woo hoo!

because the terrorists hate freedom, ya know.
