Yes, this really is yet another blog by a disillusioned grad student. I sympathize, but that's just the way it has to be. For hints as to what my bizarre alias means, click here and here and, if needed, here and here. To get a sense of what I'm up to, feel free to check out the sections called "Toward a Wiseass Creed" and "Showings: Some Introductory Wiseassery" in my main blog's left-hand sidebar. Please be aware that spamming, harassing, or otherwise obnoxious comments will be deleted and traced.

Fucking cancer

My dear cousin--the one with the smart mouth and the little twin babies--has a brain tumor.

------------------

UPDATE, 11/12/05: MRI results indicate that the tumor is not actually inside the brain, but rather just outside it, and the doctors think it's benign. Thank God. The operation will probably be either today or tomorrow, and I'll post results here.
