ads: Bury my face…

It always amazes me the kinds of ads that show up in the late night hours. I was watching last night’s Look Around You from Cartoon Network’s “Adult Swim” time slot and at the end of the program were the...

Just back from the doctor and turns out it most likely isn’t anything weird or crazy, but just some fancy-pants scarring–keloids. Turns out my head whackery of last year is having longer lasting effects, but at least it isn’t anything...
