I came back from my operation about 2 hours ago. There was a ganglion in my left wrist that needed removing.
The weird thing is, I had to wait for 3.5 hours before the op started and when I woke I thought to myself “damn, I’ve been waiting so long, I must have fallen asleep.”
It took me a moment to realize after looking at my wrapped up hand to remember that I already had the operation done. I remembered walking in the op room, lying down on the op bed, the anesthetist plugged a needle in my arm and hooked me up to the ecg monitor.
Last thing I then remember was asking the anesthetist how long it would take the anesthesia to kick in. He said “right ’bout now…”. The op must hav taken about 20 minutes judging from the time.
I’m back home now, feeling slightly drunk.
Typing is slow and painful, but I managed to write a little php snip today. Since I’ve been getting so many spam comments lately from the same people, advertising everything from viagra to online poker sites, I decided to write in a new feature that allows me to activate “comment screening” on all posts at once instead of having to enable it for each story individually. It is currently ON. 
Temperatures around the world could rise by as much as 11C, according to one of the largest climate prediction projects ever run.
This figure is twice the level that previous studies have suggested.
Scientists behind the project, called climateprediction.net, say it shows that a “safe” upper limit for carbon dioxide is impossible to define.
The results of the study, which used PCs around the world to produce data, are published in the journal Nature.
Climateprediction.net is run from Oxford University, and is a distributed computing project; rather than using a supercomputer to run climate models, people can download software to their own PCs, which run the programs during downtime.

Remembering NAZI war crimes and the liberation of Auschwitz, Dick Cheney sat along politicians and death camp survivors wearing an olive-drab parka, hiking boots and knit ski cap with the words “Staff 2001″ to represent the United States at the ceremony.
What the hell was this guy thinking, going for the casuals?
I the words of Jon Stewart, awwwwkwaaard. I wonder if he’s thinking “I’m so glad I showed up even if my ass is freezing…this place is giving me all these new ideas for our own concentration camps like Guantanamo Bay…I think I just figured out a way of making those people ‘disappear’…Oh, look, a snowflake just landed on my nose…”
For some reason Fiddy makes me laugh. I was reading this article about Irv Gotti’s arrest and 50 is painting the picture on who Irv is and talks about beefs he has. One moment he’s this thug, street wise kid rapper talking about his beefs, the next he sound like a record exec. quoting sales figures.
He also talks about his next album, St. Valentines Day Massacre. I’ll be looking forward to that.
