Cyst Removal

First off, to those with a weak stomach, my sincerest apologies; however I felt it necessary to post about the fact that I just had my cyst removed and that it kind of sucked. I can't post the pictures at the bottom of the post so... Sorry! Anyways, I just got out of the surgeon's office where they removed a large cyst I had on my back. (I'm about to go into detail, stop now if you want.) So I go in, lay down and then have novacane jabbed into my back. I'm not particularly fond of needles, thus having 6-7 shots of novacane to numb my back was not precisely fun. Afterwards, I feel something dragging across my back and realize that he, the surgeon, is cutting my back open. Then. For the next ten minutes I feel a series of tugs and pulls on my back and hear/"feel" him snipping away at something. I say "feel" cause I could feel something happening, but couldn't really put my finger on the type of sensation. There were a few times where he cut out of reach of the novacane. THAT, SUCKED. Aside from that everything went smoothly enough. Also, it's an odd feeling having thread lace in and out of your skin. Well, that's all, the novacane will wear off in about another 30 minutes so... I'll update when it does. Cheers!

-Ken

PS: My thumb is right next to the little bastard for reference.

I just licked a cat.

Ingenuity

Ingenuity...

ingenuity (in·ge·nu·i·ty) /ˌɪndʒəˈnuɪti, -ˈnyu-/ [in-juh-noo-i-tee, -nyoo-] –noun, plural -ties for 3.

1. the quality of being cleverly inventive or resourceful; inventiveness: a designer of great ingenuity.

2. cleverness or skillfulness of conception or design: a device of great ingenuity.

3. an ingenious contrivance or device.

4. Obsolete. ingenuousness.



I am choosing to 1. Ignore the fourth definition, and 2. Take any energy that'd be spent on the fourth definition and channel it all into the first definition for emphasis. I suppose some energy could be taken from the second and third definitions...

But why? Why Ken do you want the readers to know the definition of ingenuity? I'm glad you asked Voice from Nowhere in Particular. The reason I bring this up is because of the picture that will follow this wall of text. (Assuming of course, that the picture I'm about to upload is actually posted.) So in the next few moments- WAIT! Do you feel that? The suspense that slowly builds as your read this? It's great, isn't it? NOW! Scroll down and witness the image that is cleverness, ingenious, awesome, awe-inspiring, great, wonderful, excellent, beautiful, so-great-that-I-could-keep-going-but-won't-as-I-can-sense-your-frustrations-building. Anyways... All that is to say, Look at what I did!

This is your pilot speaking... Cheese... That is all.

PS: I've decided to write in a very odd mood today.


[EDIT: Apparently posting pictures works!!! But it posts the pictures first, I must take this into consideration in the future.]

There are some days when I wake up and want to take a stabby, smashy, or choppy and a piece of bannana and have at it. Luckily, today is not one of those days.

The Friday Rush and Lab Meetings

Ever watch one of those movies where you're kind of lost the entire movie until the very end where everything comes together and you're like...whoa... It all makes perfect sense now. Like getting really high and contemplating life... so I've heard at least... Ok, well I have no factual basis for this claim but I still think it's valid. No? Well you're a triceratops.(Spelling???) Anyways, point is the meeting I just got out of from my lab I work in was very much like that. Most of my knowledge base was kind of all linked together, and glorious music played in the background. Aside from that my lil sister is coming down today, so tonight should prove to be interesting...
