Spring Gardening and Pruning

Its amazing how much work it takes to keep the garden in order. Our property is big but its not huge. I can't imagine having any more gardens without having to hire a gardener or being retired.

(E:terry) hacked out the pussy willow tree to make way for vegetables gardens. Everything is so late this year because of the cold. I left Basra our last night and he was so sluggish today.

We really trimmed back a lot of the pear tree. I think I want to. teeing it even more. The idea was to get it as far away from the ground as possible as it got that horrible fungal infection from leaves to near the ground last year.

The haircut I ended up with

There was no hope for the hair disaster the other day. I ended up having to buzz it on the lowest setting.

A new awesome phone I don't have.

Just when I thought my current phone was still good enough I saw the infuse 4G coming out on AT&T and . It is super thin and has nice front and back cameras. The network speeds sound crazy. They are saying it will go up to 21mbps down and 5up. Thats about the same as my super fast wired connection.

The only downside is the lack of 3D and dual core. A lot of the new phones have 3d cameras and 3D displays. I just have this awful feeling I will regret not going with 3D when everyone else starts to have 3D pictures. Maybe the lack of dual core is a good thing for battery life.

Hair crisis

omfg. I decided to trim my hair because I have an important meeting on Monday. I thought for once I would use the "right ear" and "left ear" attachment.

The thing shaved racing stripes in my hair, argh.

Can I pull this off or do I need to shave my head now?

Orange Tongue at The Gastroenterologist

Also has no idea about the orange tongue. He seemed totally surprised by it. Thinks maybe acid reflux, maybe the tooth, maybe something else but not related to Crohns. The fact that terry also has an orange tongue was the real strange part. He kept referring to my UC, and I was like, "I thought I had crohns?" He now seems to think it is UC instead which I guess is better and I can cut the meds from 3 to 2 pills a day.

The doc gave me a script for a test called prometheus IBD Serology 7. "Helps identify IDB and differentiate between UC and CD. Includes 7 tests: ASCA IgA, ASCA IgG, Anti-OmpC IgA, Anti-CBir1, NSNA ELISA, IFA perinuclear pattern, IFA DNase sensitivity."

He also told me to try prilosec for a short two week stint to see if it helps with orange tongue and to rule out GERD.

I think I am finally at the point where I am just going to try acupuncture. I mean I have spent probably $200 in copays at this point and gotten nothing from western medicine. Maybe its time to try something else.

Wegmans gnocchi - yuck

The most disgusting gnocchi ever smelled. They smelled sour like rotten fruit. I tried to boil them anyways for some reason and the the whole kitchen smelled. Is that just what stuff with preservatives smell like or were they bad. Either way I would never buy them again. They smelled so much I had to take the garbage out after I through them out.

Scorpion Pose - Vrschikasana

Tonight at yoga I was able to sort of do the scorpion pose. I was a bit shaky though. I am going to practice more and get good at it. The people that are stepping on their own heads blow my mind.

I stole this pic from about.com I will replace it with one of myself as soon as I can get someone to take it.

I finally have an appointment for my orange tongue tomorrow but its at 7:45am near UB North Campus. I have not been up that early since the 90s.

Imagine this fun scenario

This probably won't make any sense but I will know what its about when I read it ten years later.

Imagine there is this self important, needy, gold digger who lives in your neighborhood. Not only is she loud and obnoxious, she also only speaks a foreign language with a irritating, sharp accent.

Then imagine all of a sudden, you find out she is possibly moving in with you and you may have to dedicate your life to her needs and wants. To make it worse she comes with this whole entourage of loud pimps and they are going to rip out the gardens you built and replace them with a asphalt pad and a vending machine which sells even more things that attract even more pimps.

Then imagine everyone around you saying, well if she lives with you, you no longer have the neighborhood restrictions on your property. You can rent the attic without a fire escape or even build a freaking waterslide out the front window. Would you hate her any less? What if it meant you had to give up english?

Osama is Dead?!

He is finally dead - they got him in Afghanistan. Apparently, it happened a week ago but they were waiting to confirm the DNA. Will this finally mean the end to war? Or is it only the beginning of vengeance?
