DAMN YOU LEFTY!

[judecorp]

Lefty Tonsil is totally at it again. I can literally FEEL him getting bigger (I feel it in my ear, usually) and now it hurts when I swallow. This does not bode well since there's not much I can take. I can do the occasional Tylenol and all, but Lefty's not as scared of Tylenol as he is of ibuprofen. Gosh, I just hope it doesn't get bad. Usually Lefty is pretty manageable but annoying for a week or so at a time.

Dang I should get these cheeky bastards taken out someday. Quel annoying.

Also, Jen and I got a pumpkin today for carving. I don't know if it wasn't ripe or if it was just a freak of nature, but the darn thing is like 6 feet thick! I traced a kickass pattern on it to carve but it was so thick that I couldn't do ANY of the intricacies. Finally I gave up and just carved two giant eyes, a big old nose, and a weird looking mouth. It's SO not my usual style (I go a little crazy with the pumpkins) and I'm kind of bummed, but oh well. If I had continued trying to carve through that mutant pumpkin I would have had to poke myself in the eyes.

Getting my tonsils removed: best thing I ever did for myself.

...of course, I was two years old at the time, but-- y'know.

Yeah, I didn't have any problems with my tonsil until 2001 or so.

Sorry about the throaty throat. Ick! Keep up with the tylenol. It'll eventually bow to the power of it.

I haven't had to succumb to tylenol just yet, thankfully. It hasn't turned out as bad as I've feared. Yet. I will keep my eye on it.

p.s. That picture is kind of spooky! :)

Now show me yours!

I had a few pumpkins like that, too. I took a big metal spoon and scraped the hell out of the inside of it until it was thinner and easier to cut up. I know it's not a big help now, but try it next year! Scrapey scrapey!

Yeah, I thought about doing that (esp. because the inside was kind of dry) but the truth is I just didn't have the gumption to put that much work into it. Is that terrible? I still think the pumpkin turned out pretty cute even though it was kind of low-tech.

Your pumpkins are always so good!

Eh, they are ok, but thanks! My pumpkins never quite reach my expectations. I take pictures anyway, though. =)

I didn't take a picture this year... but when I got home from work today I saw that my landlord had lit my jack-o-lantern. How sweet is that??!?!?

[rizzo41.livejournal.com]

that's awesome. =) Someone at my building in NYC did that for me one year when I tried to be cool and use glo-sticks instead of candles. They SUCK for lighting pumpkins. =) Someone stole one of my pumpkins sometime between 8PM last night and 7:30 AM today. I didn't see any evidence of smashing and they were kind enough to leave the skeletal hand it was resting on, but it still irks me.

Bastards!
