Yeah, I'm better now. I was able to relax a bit during the whole ordeal since I'd been through it before and at least had some idea how it would go. Still, it was really freaking painful and I did turn into that pathetic sobbing mess more times than I'd like to admit. ;-) Thanks! Yeah, I’m better now.

The cab ride sounds psychedelic (minus all the hassle of paying for drugs and what not). Your ability to actually go beyond the pain and visualize and hear things from within amaze me. I would have been a pathetic boring sobbing mess. Stay well and stop doing things to your eyes man!

Under "Fresh Bookmarks," I feel like I must be pretty slow, but I don't get the Nezeril ad thing. Plz explain! Also, if you ever hear about a book about the exhibit "Design for the other 90%," I'd like to know about it. OK.

The week was interesting in ways I didn't expect. Still, I'll be happy not to go through that again. I'll see if I can get my sensory depravation kicks another way. :-) Thanks, man.
