"You seem malnourished. Are you suffering from intestinal parasites?"

Some good news today: the wife finally had her surgery today, and all seems to have gone well. Thanks to all the people who sent cookies, candies, and food - since she's not able to eat solid food for a few days, guess who gets to enjoy all of that?

I used her phone to take a picture of her right before she was wheeled into surgery, doped to the gills on muscle relaxants and wearing a hair net. If I can figure out how to transfer it from phone to computer, I'll be sure to post it here.


On a barely related note, Roger Ebert, possibly the greatest populist film critic ever, is finally back from his illness-induced sabbatical. Today's review of Rush Hour 3 pretty much sums up how awesome the man is:

"If you are trapped in a rainstorm in front of a theater playing this picture, by all means go right in. You won't have a bad time, will feel affectionate toward Lee and Carter, and stay dry."
