The Year in Review?

Happy New Year!

I wish I was one of those people who could now give a quick and pithy (or lengthy and detailed) summary of 2005, along with what I’m looking forward to in 2006. I can’t. I have found that I just don’t think in terms of years. It would be a huge effort for me to think about what my life was like in January 2005, or March 2005. I can’t really remember when I was enjoying my Mothra/Godzilla resurgence, or my enthusiasm for the Powerpuff Girls started to dwindle. These things just happen, and I can’t put a timestamp on them. I suppose if I kept a journal of sorts, (oh, wait a minute, isn’t that what this is supposed to be?) I could look back on it and see things more time-related, but alas, I don not. Maybe I’ll start. Or maybe not.

As for 2006, I can say I’m very excited about the coming year. We’re going to start looking for a condo! Yippee!

Cheers!

Swollen Uvula Kind of Day

mouth.gifWoke up this morning with a big, fat, slug-like uvula, which happens from time to time. (I snore quite aggressively and have mucus issues.) But I never Googled “swollen uvula” until today. Came across this incredible post on the Neill O’Brien blog. I never knew it was such a common problem. It’s nice to know I’m not alone…

Update: This condition is known as “uvulitis”, “uvular edema”, or (my favorite) “Quincke’s disease of the uvula”.

Sulu’s a Sissy?

George TakeiGeorge Takei, Star Trek’s Sulu has come out of the closet! That’s right, swashbuckling Sulu, who boldly went where no man has gone before is out and proud as a gay man. He’s also starring on stage in Equus. You can read about it in this article at tribe.net. Funny, I never thought about Takei being gay, but looking back, I can see it. After all, after Uhuru, Sulu was always my favorite character. That should tell you something. Good for you, George.
