One week out; A little advice
thisclockworkheart:
Pacemaker put in one week ago today. Tomorrow is the first follow up appointment. There may be a few little adjustments to make, but otherwise things are fantastic. I completely plan to make a list of the restrictions I currently have while healing, just so I can have the pleasure of crossing them off as I get better.
To anyone young or old who may happen to read this, who...

Pacemakers are supposed to prevent or eliminate problems, not create them. And generally, that is what they do.

a visual history of me through flickr
last night i took a break from drawing and was looking through my flickr. i had read something about how yahoo was laying off a large percentage of the flickr staff. i have been using flickr since- well as long as i can remember. and i love it. i dont want to change to something else …
looking at the photos got me thinking about things …
this is the first image i ever posted to...
on being a dick
what is the psychology behind this?
if i say something like “wouldnt it be great if it could be four” people respond with things like- “oh that isnt possible” or “i dont think so” or “itd be better if it was three”
but if i condescendingly say “well obviously it is four” everyone stands up and applauds.
(i dont really talk about four)

last week i was notified that my pacemaker leads were recalled. i cried for like three hours. it was awesome. changing the leads is like a big deal.
yesterday i spent some time at the hospital to be checked out. i wondered why i was there though. i figured that no...

two things that data taught me today
race is not a predictor of whether a person is likely to attend the arts, but is a predictor of the genre of art likely to be attended.
a large proportion of adults also participate in the arts. one-third of adults took music lessons or classes at some point in their lives; 18% took some sort of visual arts class. more adults take visual art or music classes than other types of lessons or...
Fridays at Galweather- Ep. 1- Sexual Harassment
rejectedjokes:
I am very excited to premiere the first episode of the Showtime web series Fridays at Galweather. The six episode series follows Clyde Oberholt (Ben Schwartz) and Doug Guggenheim (Josh Lawson) on the only day of the week management consultants spend at the office.
We’re thrilled that Showtime let us play around and make these and I can’t wait to release a new one every week. The...
when is it a nap?
nestof3:
So I guess it doesn’t make sense to stay up late working like crazy if you’re just going to fall asleep in the morning while the coffee is brewing.
my sister is one of a few people i know that work harder than me.
and it not a nap if its before noon right?
i want there to be single words for all the...
