Weekly Doodles
The Minnesota Daily has some sort of “give us content for free” promotion running where they expect people to draw them pictures. So far they haven’t printed my entries.
Ow, quit it!
I scratched my eye this morning. The cornea heals pretty fast, so usually when this happens (when it is dry or something gets in it), I just go back to sleep for a couple of hours and it feels better (although tender). I called in with the proviso that I might be back this afternoon. Anyway, 800mg of ibuprofen and four more hours of sleep later I couldn’t keep my eyes shut any longer, but it still hurts to the point that I have a headache.
I might go watch tv with a black sock for an eye patch. Maybe that will also fix my lazy eye.
Born To Die
I got a letter from my doctor today. The news was not very pleasant.
Dear Jesse:
Here are your recent cholesterol results:
Total cholesterol = 283 (normal is <200)
Triglyceride - 348 (normal is <150)
HDL (good cholesterol) - 32 (optimal is >35)
LDL (bad cholesterol) - 181 (optimal is < 130)These results are not optimal.
Driven To Educate
One of the University’s English professors took the time to write a lovely editorial for the Minnesota Daily.
Better Than Tay
“That guy from the West Wing is here.”
“Who?”
“Uh, he’s also on Psyche.”
“Holy shitdogs in heat!”

Linguistics 3001: Homework One
I might have gone a touch overboard on my homework. I used the word “douche.”
Grow That Thang!
Regular readers might have seen a recent portrait that Sarah made of me featuring a shaggy beard. No, I’m not growing a strike beard, I’m part of a glorious “beard challenge.”
That’s a Big Turkey
A couple of weeks ago, right before finals week, I hosted a makeup Thanksgiving for the previously-sicker-than-dogs Keathlys, my Mom, her husband John, and Donald and Chandler. It went well and dirtied every matching dish that I have in my apartment. Sarah photographed the whole deal, so I’ll use her photos for once.

Get The Hammer
The dentist said that despite my fifteen year moratorium on visits to the dentist, my teeth are okay, having only one spot of decay in a single wisdom tooth. I will return on Monday to have my teeth cleaned (possibly through four individual visits, with one “quadrant” cleaned per visit) and that one cavity filled. Then, all of my teeth will be broken out and replaced with chiclets. I might be just imagining that last part.
