I never had any trouble falling asleep before the synthroid.

Vaccination.
Today I stumbled upon a Swine Flu/H1N1 vaccination point while ambling around the local mall. I’ve been looking to have one since recovering from the brunt of my thyroidectomy that occurred in the fall. After a month or so of Clinton County stockpiling their vaccinations because they ran short as I futilely looked for a clinic, it was a nice surprise to stumble upon one.
Right now...
Things I did today (in order):
Woke up
Took my synthroid
Fell asleep
Woke up
Ate leftover pizza
Showered
Started laundry
Dropped off a late Christmas present
Brushed off the car of my Dad’s neighbor
Went to the local mall to get some stuff (a zip-up jacket, new headphones, a coffee)
Noticed that the mall was having an H1N1 clinic, got the nasal spray
Chatted with Sam at Best Buy and got my sunglasses back

Another thought on Avatar:
This is the James Cameron who made Titanic, not the James Cameron who made The Terminator. Don’t mistake the two just because the mode is science fiction.

I’m surprised. I thought it would bomb. And it sounds like a cringe-fest.
It’s not, and it’s an absolutely amazing movie. I did not want to leave that world when the credits rolled.
I’m going to see it based on basically everyone who saw it and came away raving about it. Ebert gave it four stars, it’s 82% at Rotten Tomatoes (last I...

Well, that was easy.

With Jake Hurwitz, of “Jake & Amir” (in)famy, at the IAC party.
And this would be my favorite Jake moment.
Julia Allison (Baugher)’s favorite moment of Jake is a video that glorifies her as some sort of perfect girl. Blargh.
Wireless headphones.
acewepeel:
Invent these.
And not the big bulky kind.
I can’t tell you how many times the wires get caught on something and the headphones get yanked out of my ears as I curse the sky.
Or they get tangled up and I look like a dumbass as I try to untangle them and look cool at the same time.
It’s almost 2010. I’m really surprised these don’t exist.

I’m a fan of Martin, and it looks like one of his earlier novels was put back into print since it has vampires in it. It is sent in the 1850s on the Mississippi River and I think I’ll check it out after the holidays are done.

Hey there thyroid pal

So that is about it. How is it going on your end?
I’m doing really well. I still have numbness too, but I have gained a lot of feeling back. Now it sort of feels like there’s a rubber band around my neck, which is even weirder than the numbness. December 18th will be the 6-month mark since I was diagnosed with cancer and it seems like that was a lifetime away. I...

I can’t remember how I came across your blog, but I’m glad I did. I read in one of your posts that you had a thyroidectomy due to Thyroid Cancer and you were getting radiation treatment….I went through the same deal in June/July. I was wondering how you’re doing now?
Hello there thyroidectomy buddy.
I got done radiation treatment in late October and things look pretty good. There...
