And So It Goes…

Well, it turns out I’m the proud owner of a pilonidal abscess. Go ahead, look it up — everything about it sucks. How did I find out? Oh, the fucking infection just literally exploded out of my tail bone last night. I’d explain more, but I mostly just don’t care to, and definitely have no [...]

Square 1

Well any progress I thought I may have made is gone, as last night when I went to go to bed, and for seemingly no reason, my tail bone started hurting again — worse than it has yet. Just like a switch was flipped, the whole area started throbbing, combined with a new, sharp stabbing [...]

Accomplishments: June 25, 2007

Managed to sleep today for a healthy period of time, but woke with a horrible headache that was actually bothering me more than my tail bone. The pain is definitely there, but as long as I don’t move and I keep myself occupied, it’s dull and can be ignored. Since using my laptop is awkward [...]

Stuck

Well, I was supposed to be on the plane I think I hear overhead now, but obviously — I’m not.
I spent ALL of Friday down, hoping that a full day of rest would allow me to go out and enjoy Saturday, the Solstice Celebration, which is a huge deal here. For the most part it [...]

Another Day in Paradise

I got over the fact that I wouldn’t be able to skate out here pretty quickly. The tough pill to swallow is that I won’t be doing a lot of anything.
At this point, it’s pretty obvious that my tail bone is at least chipped if not broken, and there isn’t a thing I can do [...]

So Far, Off to a Horrible Start

I got maybe, MAYBE two solid hours of sleep the night before my trip; the pain in my tail bone was that excruciating. There is absolutely no comfortable position I can assume to help alleviate the pain; I just hurt. The day of the trip was also a sort of important day at work, yet [...]

The Friendly Skies

I haven’t flown since junior high, so I was briefly reviewing the Transportation Security Administration’s Permitted and Prohibited Items in case one of my electronic devices was arbitrarily illegal. Fortunately, I’m not breaking any rules with my “bare necessities” luggage, which fits comfortably into a single backpack and my camera case:
• Camera
• Laptop
• DS
• iPod
• [...]

Fate’s a Prick

I hope this doesn’t become an annual tradition, but once again my 10-year-old tail bone injury that refuses to heal has awakened, making it difficult to sit, stand, lay down or anything in between. Normally I wouldn’t mind taking a couple days off skateboarding to let it “heal”, but I leave for California TOMORROW!
What happened [...]

Nintendo DS Browser

I picked up Opera’s browser for Nintendo DS on a whim today, mostly for the sheer novelty of browsing the web on a Nintendo handheld. I decided later that since it will constantly be in my DS case with the rest of my games, it might actually come in handy in some situations.
I normally look [...]
