seriously. what is up with yahoo's news photos accompaniment?:

mooning a hurricane, crude oil prices, same thing!

anyway, all my thoughts and prayers with the people in LA. i'm sitting here watching MSNBC, dribbling coffee and leftover chicken fried noodles from china express down my chin and shirt. i went to the dentist one more time this morning to get some final work done on my teeth, and he novocained me all to hell, and frankly, i can't feel my face. i also think my left eyeball is numb, but i am not sure. just watch me try to smile. i look like a retarded puffy penguin. er, or something. it's grotesque.

today looks to be slow. so i think i will make this.
