This morning I was in some pretty severe pain, and then during the episode it went from bad to impossible. Wrestled with the notion of not going, but it got to the point where I was about to start screaming, so I quickly hammered out the outro script on Brian's iPad and went to an urgent care center.

After arriving and waiting an hour, I was told 1. that there was no MD available today, and that they thusly couldn't provide narcotics and 2. that I just had a muscle spasm in my back, here's a prescription for Motrin. (Displaying a very low threshold for both "urgent" and "care.")

I have had kidney stones before, and I felt strongly that what I was experiencing was a lodged kidney stone (it has to scrape its way from your kidney to your bladder before the passing-it part happens, and the period where it goes from kidney to bladder is by far the most painful bit, lasting hours). In the car, I called Cloe who's in San Francisco with her parents (a doctor and a surgeon) and, after explaining my symptoms, her mom said she was certain I had gotten a shit diagnosis and told me to get to a hospital immediately.

I was quite willing to do so, because I was in frustrated, overwhelming, unrelenting pain at that point. I hopped on the highway to get to the nearest hospital and encountered a traffic jam that seemed like the end of the world. Upon arriving at the emergency room, I filled out paperwork in a crumpled heap on the floor and before I had even finished, they had me back in the rooms answering preliminary questions and all. Very shortly thereafter, they put me in a gown and gave me an IV with dilaudid (a very strong painkiller, stronger than morphine) and gave me a sonogram. The painkillers kicked in and after three or four hours of this mess, I was finally numb, and the result of the sonogram was that I was right from the get go. It's a kidney stone jammed between my kidney and bladder.

They eventually gave me another shot of dilaudid and a script for percocet, and sent me on my way. This brings us to the present.

Thanks for the well wishes everybody, I still have a long weekend ahead of me.

I like your words, I even like your face. Who you should really be worried about, thusly, is Zarban.

We're thinking about doing a round of (potentially major) cosmetic and functionality changes to the homepage, and before we get too far into that process, I wanna hear from you guys. Do you even visit the homepage? When you visit it, why? What functionality do you currently use? What would you love? What would make it more useful? What do you think would make a first time visitor more interested?

Any thoughts?

Are you sure?

I coulda sworn there was a precedent in the movie for the dream top to be a bit wobbly on occasion. Maybe not.

Cloe and I saw Big Fan during it's tiny lil release here in Hollywood, and Patton came and did a long QnA afterward which basically just became a stand-up gig. It was really wonderful.

Because you forget it's a dream and waste decades there.

I watched that! It should be the first thing in the curriculum for debunking conspiracy theories. "This week we're going to examine this Michael Jackson thing, next week we do Zeitgeist."

See, I was worried I wouldn't have time to make the image before someone screwed up the timing by posting before I could, so I put a bland placeholder post up containing naught but the letter "t." And Mike is making a joke because it was a dumb post.

BUT HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IMAGE I'D REPLACE IT WITH.

Welcome to the internet. We will fuck you.

Heh. I worked on this a bit, I did the opening title shot and the blend to the CG billboard (the one in the thumbnail) and related tracking for that lil' sequence. That's all, just the title and billboard. Knocked it out in an evening in a hurry.

I like it alright, I'm not big on Zack's acting, but I get a kick out of Kevin Brooks (the guy who reads the bounty out loud in the fight) and the junkyard guy. Most of the DIF crew knows most of these guys, they come to our parties and stuff.

That said, I don't know anything about Fallout, or what those fanboys expect to see. I can certainly imagine people blowing it out of proportion.

The one I had a few years back was quite a bit bigger and more jagged than that, more the size of a kernel of popcorn and pokey. Not sure how this one is gonna turn out, I'm working on it.

Just watched the live video from after I left to see Brian's outro and related discussion toward the end there, that was a mite surreal.
