“Hold on, I wanna look good in this shot! I think I’ve got something on my back.”
“Me too! My feathers are all askew… I gotta check under my wing…”

“HEY! We weren’t ready!”

There’s a cluster of pine trees just outside of work that have changed from the standard capital “A” triangle shape to something that resembles a lowercase “f” due to the massive weight of pinecones on their upper branches…

Just a bizarre aside before I start posting some of the pics I took over the weekend… My Fiancee and I watched a bit of Stargate SG-1 last night at my sis’s place while working on some origami gift boxes for the wedding reception. And this morning I’m working on a scanned picture of a special guest lecturer.
Trust me, there’s a connection.
Y’see, one of the things you’ve pretty much got to do to most photos is to whiten the teeth and the eyes a bit. It just looks better. The thing is, if you overdo it on the eyes, you get a photo that looks like someone who has just been possessed by a Goa’uld.

Well, yesterday I was as sick as a dog. Or at least as sick as a specific dog that had a level of sickness that matched my own. Headache, sweating, chills and fever. The usual fun stuff. I feel mostly recovered today, but my boss is threatening to send me home.
I’m sorta ok with the idea too. My head feels overinflated, and background noises sound overly resonant. It’s sort of like being on an inflatable raft, floating on a swimming pool. Did you ever just lie there with one ear pressed to the raft and the other full of water? Everything has that sort of muffled echo.

Seems that there’s someone out there spamming the comments on Movable Type blogs. Fortunately, there’s someone else out there who’s written a plug in to help block that sort of behavior. You can find out more about it or download it from the author at www.jayallen.org.
I need to either upgrade Perl on the server or find a freestanding installer for the Storable.pm module before it’ll work here, so I’ll still be spending some time smacking these guys down manually…

Or not. This wasn’t a particularly gory operation. No brains, no bone saws, and just a little tiny incision. Lots of x-rays though, so if I start glowing I’ll know who to blame.
That’s not really fair though. I had a nice lead apron to wear for the whole time… Very warm and cozy. And I think it was made from some extraordinary new alloy that increases in weight over time. It started out at about 3 pounds, but it was up to nearly 20 by the end of the second procedure. It was warm though. My front was sweating up a storm the whole time, while my back was freezing. Surgical scrubs have roughly the same insulating properties as a thin cotton bedsheet, and they’re just about as stylish.

Well, I’m off to tape my second surgery this morning. As in it’s the second surgery that I’m taping. I’m not having surgery…
Gad, it’s early.
More later. And once again, I’ll not be posting pictures of this…
