Sign to see the ex soon? CS (!) & Starbucks January 16, 2012
A purely unintended happenstance and I'll see her (and per-
haps London) very soon. This Chocolate Smoothie was made
with mocha flavored sauce, a whole banana, milk, whey pro-
tein, fiber powder and blended ice. Not very chocolate-y at all.

Different neck bandaging January 19, 2012
Unexpected incision site boo-boo at the office today. My head
didn't fall off nor did I bleed out, so there's that. Seeing my ENT
doc tomorrow.

Lollipop & a Chinese New Year update! January 20, 2012
You bet I got a lollipop from my ENT today. My neck hurts!
It's the accent. Just sayin'. January 21, 2012

Yes, I'm aware this song is 16 years old. I was still a doctoral
student then and modern British culture was one area of study.

Smashing Pumpkins on Jools Holland January 22, 2012
I would love to have seen this live TV performance in London
back in 1998. This version of "Daphne Descends" (above) has
a great change up at the 2:39 point. Watch all three drummers.
And yes, that's Mellencamp drummer Kenny Aronoff playing at
center. I do prefer their sped-up live version of "Ava Adore"
(below) to the studio album cut though (see bottom video).

Early morning FNA biopsy of my thyroid January 23, 2012
Painless but the sensation of a thin needle entering your neck is
oddly strange but exactly how you would imagine it would feel.

McDonald's Chicken McBites January 25, 2012
Interesting package design with one lid that can firmly hold the
separate dipping sauce (top pic). The popcorn chicken itself
was small, too bready and overly seasoned with pepper. Meh.
