Life In A Nutshell

So I've neglected posting here for quite some time (apologies for that), mainly because I did not have much to report on except a few highlights about "web 2.0," rantings against politics, and my attemps to pick up a second language.

Speaking of the second language part, I've decided to take on Hebrew (through Hebrew Online), partly because I love Falafels and partly because of the cool technology coming out of that tiny country.

Hopefully I'll be able to pick up enough in the coming months to be semi-fluent when I visit the country, and if I master it I'll move on to my next language of choice...Japanese. ;-)

In Memory Of Steve

So a friend of a friend passed away at church, and we held a memorial service in his honor. It's ironic, no matter how often onehears about death or sees it in the news, you never get use to it.

Me And My Camel Lips

If it were not for the fact that it hurts every time I laugh, I probably wouldn't take it as seriously.

Anyways, I've been "slightly sick" with big lip fever for the past few days, and haven't been able to do as much as I would like to, especially online.

Although eating is a bit slower, I am still trying to swallow three (or two) meals a day, as it hurts every time I open my mouth, and even more so when I laugh (as my lips are swollen).

Hopefully this isn't an allergic reaction to some food item, as I am already forbidden to drink milk from my doctors (although I can say it tastes really good!).

That's it for now...

Belated Update: You gotta love CVS pharmacists! A two dollar medicated chap stick cream saved the day.

A Blogger's Last Post?

PostHuman Blues (who previously nominated Colony Worlds as a blog of the day) links to what may be this bloggers very last post.

Various medical authorities swarm in and out of here predicting I have between two days and two months to live. I think they are guessing. I remain cheerful and unimpressed. I look forward without dogmatic optimism but without dread. I love you all and I deeply implore you to keep the lasagna flying.

Please pardon my levity, I don't see how to take death seriously. It seems absurd.

He'll be in my prayers. :-(
