http://iansblog2.blogspot.com/2008/08/staphylococcus-redux-part-2.html
Sunday, August 24, 2008. Staphylococcus Redux (part 2). This was obviously what this couple were up to. I told them of my situation, but they were fixated on their gathering. They told us they could take us a few miles up the road, but they would be travelling in another direction once we reached that point. Fine, I thought, a few miles was better than nothing. She took a studied look at my foot and determined that if I didn’t get to a hospital that day my foot would be gangrenous by morning. I...I rathe...

http://iansblog2.blogspot.com/2007_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 17, 2007. My score on The Which Spice Are You Test. You scored 50% intoxication, 50% hotness, 100% complexity, and 25% craziness! Http:/ panther.is0.okcimg.com/users/434/744/4357457111978303249/mt845783353.jpg. You're a cool cat. Crisp, clean, fresh, and extremely complicated. You're like quantum physics or modern jazz. Think Niels Bohr meets Ornette Coleman. You may look normal now, but once you sprout, you look kind of, uh, funny. Link: The Which Spice Are You Test. Shoot out the Lights.

Sunday, April 27, 2008. Here is a quick recap of last week’s events. Things are moving along with lots of choices and things to do, and, meanwhile, spring has sprung! I broke two necessary household appliances in a matter of two hours. First was the washing machine. I loaded an extremely large comforter (seriously, this thing is too large for a king-sized bed—do they make emperor-sized beds? I read two very powerful graphic novels/comics this week. The first two volumes of the. And signed my name using C...

Thursday, February 28, 2008. Eat right—I’m only doing the first part). My house is clean (the downstairs anyway) the bills are paid (the ones that absolutely have to be) and most of the urgent personal matters are being kept consistently at bay.
