(We drew it in her Hello Kitty sketchbook, so that was the inspiration for the theme.)

A few nights ago, I drew this picture of King Arthur considering this knight’s interest in joining the round table.

It’s apparently a wasp, and that long tail is indeed for depositing eggs. Mystery solved.

She had me make one before, but it was too easy, so I made a harder one.

http://jenapincott.wordpress.com/2009/09/15/why-are-eyebrows-crucial/

It made me wonder what Whoopi Goldberg would look like with eyebrows, so I decided to find out:

Whoopi with Eyebrows

I wonder if people would be able to recognize her WITH eyebrows in a similar test.

I have one whole product so far. Check it out!

I hope to add other products soon.

Everything went according to plan (as far as I know).

Here’s a post-op photo (after the nurse cleaned the blood off my face — apparently I was crying blood, which would’ve been interesting to see).

Woody says ow!

I also had my septum undeviated (I don’t remember offhand what that procedure is called), which is why my nose is so swollen.

I had a really obnoxious post-op nurse who wouldn’t get me water, wouldn’t help me sit up, etc. She was hostile and uncooperative, and didn’t listen to what I was saying. I was happy to get out of the surgical center.

Recovering at home has been uneventful. I have to periodically squirt saline solution through my nose, which is unpleasant but not painful. I haven’t been able to get much work done because of drowsiness.

I’m sleeping a lot, and I have a hard time keeping my mouth from drying out since I can’t breathe through my swollen nose.

I’m mostly eating jello and popsicles, and drinking ice water. I’m looking forward to eating actual food again.

I took some video of the back of my throat after I got home from the surgery, but I haven’t copied it to the computer yet.

I find it disturbing that only about a century ago people were so cruel that they deprived future generations of that joy.

Fortunately, we have progressed as a society. If the dodo were alive today, people would farm them.
