today, I’m a prick
So I made another theme last night. I got my camera out and took a couple shots of my old guitar and made this. I know it sucks, but I like it. Some complained it was too narrow, so I widened the content area by 75 pixels or so. I’m not going to fool with a liquid layout right now, so deal with it.
I’m in a horrible mood right now. I went to the oral surgeon, he changed out the medicated gauze. For some reason, he didn’t want to refill my pain killer prescription. I have to go back on Saturday to get the gauze changed again. I plan on bitting his finger.
I watched The Simpsons Movie last night and it was really disappointing. I love The Simpsons too. It was like a big long OK episode. Boo.
I’m working from home today. We finally got a nice snow last night. I’m going to make a run to the post office to send a package to the kids, get stamps, send Dana’s car title to her, and send the license for the bearded dragon. Then I’ll go to the library and hit the grocery store for some starter logs. I’m freezing in my house right now, I keep the heat at 55 (so the pipes don’t burst) to save money from going through this divorce and I don’t have any dry small sticks to start a fire. This fucking rocks. Did I mention I’m in a horrible mood?
On the bright side, if I can get my calves stretched out well enough, I’m going to go for a run in this snow. It will do me good to punish myself for 4 miles or so.
Oh, I nearly forgot this… to prove that Ziggy and Mr. E do actually like each other, here’s them cuddling last night…

- Knitted Gas Mask Hat

I like this layout. Sorry you’re in a lousy mood, I’d be too if I was in pain. I’m off work too…aren’t snow days great?

Severe mouth pain = rotten mood. You get a hall pass. WTF didn’t he give you more drugs? Call in to the nurse for another script! Seriously…bitch until they write you one. (hug) I didn’t mean to sound complain-y when I posted about the sizing of the page. :O I think it might be my weird sized monitor…I’m on a laptop with a pretty wide screen, but short at the same time. Dumb. It also tends to eff with the color of things…everything seems so light compared to the pc. *shrugs* Not a big deal though.
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:52 am
Oh, duh! And Feel better soon!
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:55 am
I’m not knitting you a gas mask hat.
Boo to the oral surgeon! Boo! Maybe it was the convulsive twitching as you begged at his feet for the pain med refill???
I like this theme mostly. Whitespace is unbalanced, but that’s probably because it isn’t a fluid theme and my monitor at work is at 1600×1200??
February 22nd, 2008 at 10:23 am
I’m sorry you are in so much pain and that the mean guy won’t give you more pain medicine. I give you permission to bite him and make him feel the pain too…not that you need my permission, but I fully support it if you choose to bite him.
I’m sorry things are rough right now. If there is anything specific I can do to help please let me know. You know I would help in any way I can.

Carolyn – i’m unfortunately working from home. i love this snow.
canarygirl – nah, you know i caved into the small monitor folks that complained about the larger resolution, i’m going to re do this at 1000px
Chris – oh come on! please. I know i’m going to re-do it at 1000px tonight
tori – i’ll chomp once in your honor
February 22nd, 2008 at 12:09 pm
would it help if i started to booty dance to ludacris’ area codes?
Now you thought I was just 7-7-0
And 4-0-4, I’m worldwide bitch, act like yall don’t know
It’s the abominabol “O” man
Globe-trot international post man
Neighbor-dick dope man
7-1-8s, 2-0-2′s
I send small cities and states I-O-U’s…

I love love love the new blog – really. The colors are perfect – they match your hair and vibe. Well done!
Gosh, I can’t believe the pain killer thing. You want them – can’t get them. I don’t take them and always have a vast supply. They make me so sick that I’d rather just have the pain. You can try this – it’s sounds stupid but it always works for me: “dear soul, mind and body of my jaw. I love you. You have the power to heal yourself, do a good job, thank you.” It’s from Soul Mind Body meditation (and OG thing).
Sorry about the mood too. ((hug))
February 22nd, 2008 at 12:39 pm
liv – you know what i hate more than rappers from the ATL? nothing
On a Limb with Claudia – thank you, i just fixed this to a 1000px design, which i’m happier with and going to sit with it for a bit. how about i do a martini prayer instead?
February 22nd, 2008 at 12:55 pm
Yeah, running in the snow–eases all the edges.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:00 pm
Red is my favorite color, and I’m a very cranky grrrl today, and my teeth don’t even hurt.
Oh for mind painkillers. That’s what we need.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Running, combined with an urgent need for painkillers? Crazy. Running, combined with anything? Like running? (That was my real train of thought.)
That oral surgeon, was his name Sweeney Todd?
Hope you feel better.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:33 pm
The guitar graphics look awesome, well done man! I dig it … and the wider content area. I am liking this theme a lot.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:35 pm
I like your new layout Van – it’s clean and inviting.
As for your “no more painkillers” surgeon:
if Ibuprofen needs a prescription (in Belgium, it’s prescription free) you can use Advil 200mg to manage your pain. Post-op pain in general needs up to 600 mg every 6-8 hours, but your mileage will vary. Make sure to eat something before swallowing, as most NSAIDs can be very unkind to your stomach lining.
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:42 pm
I like this layout way better. Way better? Way better.
That sounds weird. Way better.
Fuck. Whatever. I like it.
The Simpsons movie was EXACTLY like one big OK episode. I felt the same way.
Definitely bite the surgeon’s finger. I’ll bet it tastes like breakfast sausages and toothpaste. But before you do, explain to me what a liquid layout is. Did you spill some beer on your template or something?
February 22nd, 2008 at 1:55 pm
if you can make it to the philly airport tomorrow morning before 7:30 i’ll share my drugs with you. bite the guy hard.
February 22nd, 2008 at 2:18 pm
Alright, this one is better. Wider is good because then the photos fit better and it doesn’t require as much scrolling. Man I haven’t watched the Simpsons movie yet and now I’m worried. But hopefully we’ll get some laughs from it even if it is just okay. I worked from home today, too. =o)
February 22nd, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Damn doctors. When I suffered the Most Agonizing Back Injury Known to Humanity, the stingy bastards refused to prescribe pain meds until the pain was almost making me pass out. I wanted to put them into a similiar state of pain so they could commiserate, but I couldn’t move, damnit again. Hope it eases up soon.
February 22nd, 2008 at 4:16 pm
I like the layout too.
WTF with the oral surgeon? I had my wisdom teeth out at 35 with no problems so I gotta think there is more here than meets the eye. I can’t believe you’re still suffering with this. Not only should they continue the meds, but they should figure out what the hell is going on. If I was still in that kind of pain I’d go to my doctor and raise Cain (hey that rhymes). Bite his finger multiple times if necessary. You gotta get his attention somehow.
February 22nd, 2008 at 4:17 pm
I really like this look. I like it better than the other one for certain. I’m sorry that you’re in a rotten mood, but i’m pretty sure that you’re allowed to every now and again. I got some snow last night too. I’d say three inches at the most. Still not enough to build a snowman in because there was ice in it too. *HUGS* I think that you need them right now.
February 22nd, 2008 at 4:23 pm
Lu – it was nice, although it started to sleet while i was out there, which is just par for the motherfucking course lately
V-Grrrl – i’ll take a fistful right now with a nice glass of wine
Jennifer – i think the guy did a fine job with the procedure, but what do i know? the no pain killer thing is crap.
Apertome – thanks dude
Peter – i’m doing the ibuprofen thing now and yeah, my stomach is pretty torn up already
mamatulip – liquid layout just means the same design fits any browser window, it’s not overly hard, but i’m just too lazy to do it right now
lime – will do, big chomp coming
Christy – it’s fine, but like i was saying, don’t expect a big difference between the movie and the show. i don’t really know why a movie was made honestly.
The Smirking Cat – it should ease up by early next week, it’s getting a little better today
SQT – i’m not happy to say the least
april – yeah during my run i saw several snowmen along the way and lots of kids out sledding. which my kiddos were here to enjoy this.
February 22nd, 2008 at 4:34 pm
I like the new layout! The old one was too plain for you. That sucks about the pain meds. I’d be calling up that dentist and laying it to him. I think they get so desensitized, they forget what their patients are actually going through.
February 22nd, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I love the new theme!!! You did this WHILE in pain? Wow. Kathleen Turner says that you can kill pain with Vodka. If you’d like me to prescirbe that I am authorized.
Feel better.
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Tink – thanks, at least this i can do
Kiki – thank you. yeah i think vodka is needed.
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:01 pm
I really like your layout
And I feel you about the dentist being lame. My Doctor doesn’t even like to give out any painkillers, but especially those with “street value”. It’s hysterical because I’m just about the FURTHEST thing from a druggie ever. Go figure
February 22nd, 2008 at 5:43 pm
Dara – thank you amiga and welcome to my mess over here.
February 22nd, 2008 at 6:00 pm
I love the guitar layout
so sorry about all the dental work and the pain. have that martini and rub some vodka on your gums as well, my Mom used to do that when I was a baby and I turned out just fine, really I did, I really did.
feel better
February 22nd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Dianne – thank you. I think I’m going to head to the liquor store shortly. No one wants to hang out with me, ergo I will have to drink until my imaginary friends show up.
February 22nd, 2008 at 7:32 pm
I dig the gee-tar layout. I truly do. Ugh. They should SO give you pain killers. I like Kiki’s vodka plan too though.
February 22nd, 2008 at 8:21 pm
Greta – i don’t have any vodka, but i’ve taken my last pain pill and i’m going to drink all the beer i’ve got. also, as an added bonus, i’m watching Reign Over Me, which is just about the last movie I should be watching with the way I feel right now.
February 22nd, 2008 at 9:54 pm
you are kind of a prick today. that was supposed to make you laugh–the idea of me dancing to ho’s in area codes? umm….yeah…. sort of, well, ludicrous.
i think you need a hydrocodone milkshake and some jello shots.
February 22nd, 2008 at 10:54 pm
No more pain meds?
This furthers my belief that all oral surgeons are ruthless, sadistic bastards.
I recommend bourbon for the highest quality in imaginary friends.
February 23rd, 2008 at 12:22 pm
Oral surgeons are sadists. I hope the dry socket rights itself soon.
Are you sure those are really house cats? They look big enough to prowl the Serengeti and take a water buffalo
February 23rd, 2008 at 1:26 pm
liv – yeah, sorry. i just hate dirty south rap – talentless drivel. much like new country. but you’re right you were just being silly. my bad.
Arkie Mama – i concur
patches – they haven’t attacked any water buffalo yet here in the SerenJersey.
