So...

I was supposed to edit the last entry so that clicking the Flickr link would make more sense. Oh well, I'll get around to switching those words around one of these days :)

Right now I'm feeling an almost insatiable sense of resolve. I go for surgery on the 17th of February to remove the five screws from my left hip, and then my next big surgery will me in May. I also have a bunch of tests this week. Instead of dreading it all, I'm in a "bring it on!" mindset. Heaven alone knows why, but I feel very calm about all this nonsense barreling towards me this month.

I've started reading Calvin and Hobbes again. I haven't read C&H for years, and I'm suddenly understanding Bill Wattersons comics at a deeper level than before. It's sad that there isn't that much thinking involved in comics of today. I like how the existence of Hobbes is never truly explained (such as whether he magically changes, or if it's all in Calvins head). It's sad that Bill isn't writing any more of the series, but as Harvey Dent says in The Dark Knight, "You either die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain". Some comics should have died years ago, but still beat the dead horse so much that there's nothing left of the poor equine.

With that in mind, I leave you with Bill Wattersons impersonation of Nostradamus:
